THE ROLE

Analog Devices' internal wafer fab network is a strategic pillar of our hybrid manufacturing strategy and long term resiliency roadmap. The Head of Finance for Internal Front End Manufacturing serves as the senior financial leader across ADI ' s global internal front end fabs , providing unified financial oversight, operational analytics, cost governance, capital strategy, and multi site performance management. The site controllers for Beaverton, Camas, Wilmington, Limerick, and Chelmsford report directly to this role.

This role partners directly with the VP of Front End Operations, multiple Fab General Managers, Technology Development, Supply Chain, and BU Operations to optimize ADI ' s internal wafer fab cost structure, expand capacity, enable technology transitions, and support network resiliency. You will build a harmonized financial framework that ensures transparency, comparability, and scalability across all internal fabs while shaping long term decisions on insourcing, capex, utilization strategy, and cost competitiveness.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Global Financial Leadership & Governance for the FE Network

• Lead all financial processes across internal front end fabs : monthly close, forecasts, budgets, long range planning, and standard cost roll cycles.

• Create a single, unified financial view of all internal wafer fab operations, consolidating performance, risks, and opportunities.

• Establish network wide governance frameworks covering inventory valuation, absorption methodology , depreciation integration, reserves, and cost allocation principles.

2. Multi Site Cost Structure Optimization

• Build and manage the network level cost roadmap: cost per wafer, cost per layer, equipment & labor productivity financial impact , and material/consumable optimization.

• Benchmark fabs globally to identify structural gaps and drive multi site improvement plans with operations leadership b y defining "Golden Tool" cost benchmarks.

• Translate fab specific KPIs (cycle time, OEE, yield, DPML, starts/outs, WIP turns) into financial impact to guide decision making.

• Model the economics of load shifts, bottleneck toolsets, and throughput improvements across fabs .

• Partner with operations and legal to maximize grant opportunities.

3. Capital Strategy, Capacity Planning & Investment Governance

• Lead multi year capital investment strategy for the FE network including tool upgrades, cleanroom conversions, technology-node enablement, and automation.

• Evaluate ROI trade offs across sites to determine " best landing spot " for each incremental dollar of capex.

• Support regulatory and incentive reporting across multiple fab locations.

• Integrate capacity modeling, utilization projections, and technology migration needs into a cohesive financial plan.

4. Operational Finance Partner to Multi Site FE Manufacturing

• Serve as senior business partner to all fab leaders across internal sites.

• Embed financial analytics into operational forums (daily/weekly/monthly reviews) to support yield improvement, cycle time unlocks, tool down recovery, labor planning, and maintenance strategies.

• Standardize the financial evaluation of fab operational changes, including recipe optimization, capacity additions, process transfers, or scrap reduction initiatives.

• Deliver scenario models for site expansions, mix shifts, or transitioning wafer flows between fabs .

5. Network Wide Cost Accounting, Standard Cost & Inventory Management

• Ensure consistency in standard costing, BOM/routing governance, valuation accuracy, and variance interpretation across multiple fabs .

• Oversee inventory accuracy for raw wafers, WIP, and post fab handoff stages, ensuring compliance with audit, controls, and corporate policy.

• Harmonize controls and audit readiness across geographically distributed operations.

6. Resiliency, Internal vs. External Sourcing, & Portfolio Optimization

• Model economics for internal vs. foundry sourcing decisions and partner with Supply Chain & Operations on network balance.

• Provide financial analysis to support ADI's resiliency goals: dual sourcing, technology transfers, geographic diversification, and site redundancy.

• Support qualification decisions by quantifying cost impacts, yield maturity curves, and startup costs.

7. Leadership & Talent Development

• Lead and mentor a global FE finance team of controllers, and analysts, across the U.S., and Europe.

• Develop deep financial expertise in fab economics, cost modeling, inventory governance, and operational partnering.

• Build succession pipelines for site controllers and future manufacturing finance leaders

SUCCESS MEASURES

• Cost Competitiveness: Year over year reductions in cost per wafer / cost per layer across the network.

• Operational Leverage: Improved absorption and productivity driven by higher utilization and optimized labor/tool costs.

• Capital Efficiency: Strong ROI delivery on multi site capex programs and technology enablement investments.

• Yield & Cycle Time Impact: Demonstrable financial upside tied to yield improvement, DPML reduction, and cycle time compression.

• Resiliency Progress: Financial milestones achieved for internalization targets, dual site qualifications, and risk mitigation strategies.

• Team Capability: Strengthening FE finance capability, consistency, and leadership depth across sites.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• 1 0 + years of progressive finance experience, including manufacturing finance, wafer fab finance, or capital intensive operations.

• Track record leading finance teams in multi site or multi region environments.

• Strong knowledge of cost accounting, standard costing, absorption, variances, and manufacturing P&L drivers.

• Demonstrated ability to partner with technical and operational leaders (Ops, Engineering, Supply Chain).

• Advanced modeling skills with ability to convert complex fab metrics into financial insights.

Preferred

• Experienc e in semiconductor front end operations or highly technical manufacturing.

• Background in capex planning, technology enablement, or large scale capacity expansion.

• Familiarity with Sales and Operations Planning, Inventory, Standards, and grant requirements

• CPA, CMA, MBA, or equivalent advanced degree.
