With a global manufacturing footprint spanning three continents, Global Foundries makes possible the technologies and systems that transform industries and give customers the power to shape their markets.

The VP, Silicon Engineering / Test Engineering Services (TES) is the general manager for a growth product line delivering post-fab silicon services including wafer sort/probe support, final test engineering, test program development, characterization, yield/quality analytics, and adjacent services that accelerate customer time-to‑market and improve product quality and cost. The role owns end‑to‑end P&L, builds and executes the TES strategy, and partners closely with Business Development/Sales to generate and convert a robust customer pipeline for silicon post‑fab services.

1) P&L Ownership & Business Leadership

• Own full profit and loss for the Test Engineering Services product line: revenue growth, gross margin, operating expense, and working capital discipline.
• Define the TES business models (e.g., internal delivery, consigned tooling corridors, OSAT/partner delivery, hybrid approaches) and ensure the operating model is scalable and commercially competitive.
• Establish pricing, quoting, and contracting guardrails to ensure services are monetized cleanly and consistently, including separation/clarity of what is being sold (engineering services, NRE, production services, pass‑through elements).

2) GTM, Customer Pipeline & Revenue Growth (with Business Development)

• Co‑lead pipeline generation with Business Development: target segments, account plans, value propositions, and conversion plays for post‑fab test services.
• Build a repeatable "land and expand" motionstart with engineering/NPI services and expand into production test, analytics, and lifecycle support as appropriate to the customer model.
• Develop customer‑facing collateral and outcome‑based messaging tied to test efficiency, quality, schedule, and reliability outcomes

3) Portfolio Strategy & Service Offerings

• Own the TES service portfolio across the product lifecycle capabilities that may include:
• Test program development & product bring‑up, qualification support, volume manufacturing readiness
• Probe card/test interface/board ecosystem engagement, characterization across digital/analog/mixed‑signal/RF, and DFT enablement support
• Define service packaging (standard offers vs. bespoke programs), delivery playbooks, and capacity planning to scale multi‑customer execution.

4) Operating Excellence:
Delivery, Quality, and Predictability

• Own the TES delivery system: intake ? scoping ? scheduling ? execution ? reporting ? closure, with clear milestones, change control, and customer communications.
• Implement/drive a structured request intake and prioritization process for post‑fab test work (e.g., project title, owner/POC, priority/severity, scope, and "needed‑by" date), ensuring predictable execution and transparent commitments.
• Establish service KPIs: on‑time delivery, first‑pass success, cost‑to‑serve, utilization, customer satisfaction, and repeatability of test/program transfers.

5) Ecosystem & Partnerships (OSATs, Tooling, Third Parties)

• Build an external ecosystem for overflow capacity and specialized capabilities, including governance for quality, IP protection, commercial terms, and performance.
• Lead make/buy decisions for test development and manufacturing execution, including when to leverage partners vs. when to invest internally for margin, control, and strategic differentiation.

6) Talent, Organization & Culture

• Build and lead a high‑performing global team across test engineering, characterization, product engineering.
• Create career paths, technical ladders, and learning programs that scale capability and accelerate throughput/quality.

7) Cross‑Functional Leadership & Governance

• Partner with Finance to ensure clean services revenue recognition, governance,…
