About the role
As the Global Senior Physical Security Manager for Data Center Security, you will lead physical security planning and assurance for new data center builds, expansions, and major upgrades across AMD's global portfolio. You will represent Physical Security throughout each project lifecycle, translating AMD requirements into design direction, reviewing plans, assessing sites, verifying installation, and leading commissioning and acceptance tests.
What you'll do
- Own Physical Security requirements and assurance for data center builds, expansions, renovations, and major system upgrades from project initiation through operational handoff.
- Translate physical security requirements into project briefs, design criteria, scopes of work, and review checklists, tracing each requirement to design and verification evidence.
- Review site plans, design narratives, specifications, and submittals at each stage, evaluating access control, CCTV/VMS, readers, request-to-exit devices, and security rough-in.
- Coordinate security design with Data Center Engineering, Facilities, IT, network, electrical, and fire/life safety teams to address interface gaps.
- Conduct data center security risk assessments, perform documented site walks, and evaluate the resilience of controls against internal specifications.
- Develop and lead security commissioning and acceptance test plans, verify integrated systems, and manage security punch lists and corrective actions through closure.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent to 5-7 years of experience in data center buildouts.
- Experience with corporate physical security, critical infrastructure, data centers, or similarly controlled facilities.
- Experience supporting data center or critical facility construction, expansion, renovation, commissioning, and turnover.
- Knowledge of access control, CCTV/VMS, intrusion detection, alarms, security communications, and integrated systems testing.
- Ability to read and comment on architectural, electrical, low-voltage, security, and life-safety drawings, specifications, and construction submittals.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally to support project reviews, site assessments, construction inspections, and acceptance testing.
Nice to have
- PSP, CPP, PMP, or equivalent physical security, project management, or risk credentials.
- Experience in semiconductor, cloud, colocation, or advanced technology environments.
- Experience managing security consultants, contractors, integrators, suppliers, scopes of work, schedules, and budgets.

How we counted: 4050 open Semiconductor Equipment Engineering (Manufacturing Equipment) roles from 87 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 13 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
