Position Summary
The Senior Director, Supply Chain Planning leads global Fab & Wafer Planning and Capacity & Network Planning across internal manufacturing operations and external manufacturing partners. This leader owns the global wafer-start plan and long-range capacity roadmap, ensuring that technology, equipment, facilities, materials, and partner capacity support business priorities and product lifecycle requirements.
The role connects rolling 13-week wafer execution with 24-month supply visibility and a 12–60-month capacity and network strategy. Working with Business Unit Supply Chain Leads, Fab and Factory Operations, Procurement, Engineering, Quality, and Finance, the Senior Director translates approved business requirements into feasible supply plans and investment recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
Global Fab and Wafer Planning
Lead the global wafer-start planning process across internal fabs and strategic foundry partners, determining what to start, where to start it, and when.
· Translate approved product requirements and BU priorities into die, wafer, process, and technology-node requirements.
· Incorporate fab, assembly, and test yields, manufacturing cycle times, and work-in-process availability into wafer-start and output plans.
· Balance production requirements across fabs, foundries, critical tools, and constrained process steps.
· Publish rolling wafer-start plans, raw wafer requirements, and material readiness gates aligned with downstream factory and contract manufacturing needs.
· Partner with Operations, Engineering, and Quality to validate planning assumptions and address gaps in yield, cycle time, technology readiness, and output.
· Establish recommendations for wafer and die buffers that balance supply continuity with inventory exposure.
Capacity and Network Planning
· Own the 12–60-month capacity roadmap across internal fabs, factories, foundries, outsourced assembly and test providers, and contract manufacturing partners.
· Develop resource models covering cleanroom space, lithography, epitaxy, assembly, test, labor, engineering support, and other critical constraints.
· Evaluate capacity requirements under base, upside, and downside business scenarios, incorporating product mix, technology transitions, ramp timing, and yield assumptions.
· Assess internal expansion, external manufacturing, second-source options, and geographic alternatives in partnership with Operations and Procurement.
· Develop capacity investment recommendations with Finance and Operations, including timing, decision triggers, expected returns, and execution risks.
· Recommend product-to-site allocations that balance capability, cost, lead time, resilience, and geographic exposure.
· Define external capacity reservation requirements and risk assumptions for Procurement to incorporate into commercial agreements.
Integrated Supply and Lifecycle Readiness
· Align wafer and capacity plans with the integrated material and fulfillment plan, ensuring consistency across manufacturing stages.
· Partner with BU Supply Chain Leads to support new product introductions, production ramps, technology transfers, sustained production, and end-of-life transitions.
· Identify the capacity and material readiness conditions required to support program milestones and production commitments.
· Coordinate with Materials & Inventory Planning on strategic reserves, buffer placement, and inventory exposure associated with long manufacturing lead times.
· Develop recovery scenarios for capacity shortages, yield losses, equipment delays, and partner…
