Job description

The global demand for data storage is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, and this growth is reshaping the scale, speed, and expectations of modern manufacturing. To meet this demand, our wafer fabs in Minnesota and Northern Ireland are already among the most advanced production environments in the world and must expand capability, throughput, and operational excellence. To support this expansion, we are hiring across IT support, factory controls, and project management. We are looking for individuals who can rethink these roles for the next era of manufacturing and are people who bring curiosity, technical depth, and the ability to operate in new ways as workloads scale. A defining characteristic of these roles is an AI first mindset. As part of Global Factory ITs agentic shift, you will help redesign Wafer FAB support, deployment, and configuration activities to meet new demands. You will bring fresh perspectives on existing and new tasks and help pioneer new patterns of collaboration between humans and AI, shaping the next generation of digital workforces and manufacturing systems leaders. Joining us means contributing to the systems and solutions that will enable our wafer fabs to keep pace with the world’s hunger for data, while building the skills and experiences that define the future of factory operations.
