SiTime is the Precision Timing company.
Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT.
Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit: www.sitime.com.
Job Summary
Reporting to the CISO, this role owns SiTime's security architecture: the target-state design and the minimum control baselines that the rest of the security organization implements. It spans identity, data, endpoint, network, cloud, SaaS, artificial intelligence, laboratory and engineering environments, and the data exchanged with supply chain partners.
This is a build role. The successful candidate will create the target-state architecture, environment-specific control baselines, or a security design review process, and will make sure that security is designed into new systems and platforms rather than retrofitted after deployment. The role also carries the emerging-technology mandate. Artificial intelligence adoption at SiTime is moving faster than the controls around it, and this role sets the architecture and the boundaries before adoption outpaces protection, working in partnership with the Head of AI, and their team.
This is an accountable owner role, not an advisory one. Architecture decisions are binding: the role approves designs, sets the compensating controls where it does not, and partners with IT Engineering, Design, Engineering and the CISO's other functions (Vulnerability Management and Security Operations; Security Risk, Assurance and Trust; Security Engineering; and Offensive Security) to see them implemented and verified.
We value diverse experiences, perspectives, and career paths, and welcome candidates who are excited to contribute to our mission.
