Cerebras Physical Security Lead at Cerebras to establish and govern physical security across contract manufacturing locations. Responsible for setting standards, assessing risk, and overseeing controls for sensitive areas and security services.
Responsibilities
Serve as the primary Global Physical Security partner for current and future contract manufacturing locations; develop and govern minimum standards, site requirements, exceptions, and risk acceptance.
Conduct initial, recurring, and event-driven site assessments; prioritize findings, establish corrective actions, and verify closure.
Design and govern sensitive-area entry controls, including clean-in/clean-out (CICO), personal property and data bearing device (DBD) restrictions, visitor and contractor access, escorting, and exceptions, while aligning with cleanroom, ESD, life-safety, and production requirements.
Protect intellectual property, proprietary processes, prototypes, components, test equipment, finished products, and controlled materials through security zoning, access governance, visitor controls, and photography restrictions.
Act as the client security representative for partner-managed guard services; where Cerebras contracts directly, manage scope, post orders, training, service levels, performance metrics, and corrective actions.
Collaborate on Cerebras-managed access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, visitor management, and alarm-monitoring systems, including design reviews, commissioning, and operational validation.
In partnership with internal stakeholders, define physical security requirements for new manufacturing partners, production lines, facility expansions, contracts, and statements of work.
Govern cargo and logistics security requirements, including chain of custody, secure staging, shipping and receiving, high-risk shipments, carrier handoffs, and third-party performance.
Respond to manufacturing-related security incidents, preserve relevant evidence, coordinate fact-finding, identify root causes, and track corrective actions.
Maintain regular site presence, security metrics, risk reporting, procedures, training, and concise updates for security and business leadership.
