Job Details
Role: IAM Architect
Location: Chaska MN (100% onsite)
Hire type: FTE
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with supplier/vendor IAM federation in complex semiconductor supply chains.
- Background in IT/OT convergence security for smart factories and Industry 4.0 initiatives.
- Knowledge of chip design workflows, engineering collaboration platforms, and secure IP vaults.
- Relevant certifications: CISSP, CCSP, Microsoft Identity & Access, Okta Certified, ISA/IEC 62443
- Cybersecurity Expert.
Required Skills & Experience
- 8+ years of IAM experience, with at least 3 years in a strategic architecture role for a manufacturing or semiconductor enterprise.
- Proven ability to secure both IT and OT environments in global industrial operations.
- Expertise in IAM platforms (Okta, SailPoint, Ping, ForgeRock), PAM solutions (CyberArk, Beyond Trust), directory services & federation (LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SCIM), Zero Trust IAM architecture for hybrid cloud & on-premises.
- Deep understanding of semiconductor industry workflows, including EDA tools and IP lifecycle management.
- Familiarity with industrial control system (ICS) security, OT protocols, and factory automation networks.
- Strong knowledge of export control regulations (ITAR/EAR), IP protection strategies, and global data privacy compliance.
Key Responsibilities
- Semiconductor IP Protection
- Implement least privilege access to safeguard sensitive chip design files, EDA tools, and proprietary engineering data.
- Architect IAM for engineering design workflows, integrating with EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics).
- Ensure strict segregation of duties and data residency controls to comply with export controls (ITAR/EAR) and regional IP protection laws.
- Develop federated identity and access models for secure collaboration with external R&D partners, foundries, and design houses.
- Factory OT Security & Operational Continuity
- Design IAM solutions for Operational Technology (OT) environments, including MES, SCADA/PLC systems, and factory automation equipment.
- Extend Zero Trust principles to the shop floor, securing remote vendor access for equipment maintenance without compromising uptime.
- Integrate IAM with Industrial Control Systems (ICS), considering legacy equipment with limited native authentication capabilities.
- Work with OT security teams to segment access between IT and OT networks, minimizing lateral movement risks in factories.
- Global IAM Strategy & Governance
- Define the enterprise IAM roadmap for all global sites, aligning with manufacturing, R&D, and supply chain security requirements.
- Standardize access provisioning workflows across factories, design centers, suppliers, and regional offices.
- Develop role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based (ABAC) access models that address the needs of factory operators, R&D engineers, external contractors and vendors, and supply chain partners.
- Cloud & Hybrid IAM
- Architect secure access to cloud-hosted semiconductor design environments and collaboration tools.
- Integrate IAM for multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform) supporting global engineering teams.
- Enable secure identity federation for supply chain and ecosystem partners.
- Risk Management & Compliance
- Ensure IAM policies meet semiconductor industry compliance standards, including NIST 800-53, IEC 62443 (OT security), ISO 27001, and export control regulations (ITAR/EAR).
- Lead access certification campaigns and automate identity lifecycle management for employees, contractors, and vendors worldwide.
- Provide IAM audit readiness for IP protection, export compliance, and global data privacy regulations (GDPR, local DPAs
- Technology Enablement & Integration
- Lead the evaluation, deployment, and integration of enterprise IAM platforms (SailPoint, ForgeRock, Okta Ping Identity) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions (CyberArk, Beyond Trust).
- Automate joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes across IT, OT, and cloud environments.
- Work closely with IT, OT, and cybersecurity teams to ensure high availability and minimal disruption in production environments
