  • Third-Party & Partner Risk Assessment:
    Evaluate the IT risk and security posture of external manufacturing partners (Foundries, OSATs, and Subcontractors). Assess their compliance with NVIDIA’s security standards, data protection protocols, and intellectual property safeguards.
  • Serve as the primary on-site IT contact for factory users and stakeholders within the North and South America regions, ensuring effective communication and coordination with remote and global IT teams across multiple domains (including networking, storage, and applications). Additionally, manage urgent Tier-3 escalations with third-party IT vendors regarding network connectivity, servers, client systems, and production tools.

    Audit network segmentations, access controls, APIs, and data transmission protocols that facilitate automated data exchange between NVIDIA and external manufacturing facilities.
  • Compliance & Frameworks:
    Evaluate IT environments against industry frameworks (ISO 27001 / SOX) to ensure data privacy, financial integrity, and regulatory compliance.
  • Data Integrity & Analytics:
    Assess the accuracy and completeness of yield data, inventory reporting, and supply chain metrics flowing from partner systems into NVIDIA’s data warehouses. Use data analytics tools to identify anomalies or control gaps.
  • Reporting & Remediation:
    Draft clear, impactful, and actionable audit reports for executive leadership. Track remediation efforts to ensure identified risks are effectively mitigated by business owners.
What We Need To See

  • 8+ years of experience in IT Audit, IT Security, or Tech Risk Management, preferably within high-tech/semiconductor manufacturing companies.
  • Domain Expertise:
    Deep understanding of automated manufacturing environments, supply chain logistics, and B2B integration technologies (e.g., EDI, APIs, SFTP).
  • Technical Proficiencies:
    Familiarity with Shop Floor Control and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Strong knowledge of cloud security (AWS/Azure), identity and access management (IAM).
  • Certifications:

    Professional certification such as CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) or CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) is highly preferred.
  • Communication:
    Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical risks to non-technical business leaders and external vendors.
  • Travel:
    Ability to travel domestically and internationally (up to 15-20%) to conduct on-site partner assessments when required.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
  • Hands-on experience with data analytics and visualization tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Tableau, or Power BI) to automate audit testing.
  • A proven track record of auditing intellectual property (IP) protection controls in a collaborative engineering or manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to drive and engage third-party IT teams to complete tasks remotely in accordance with NVIDIA IT standards. Energetic, proactive, and possessing a strong can-do attitude; comfortable communicating with both IT and non-IT personnel
