Global Security Engineering Manager

Change the world. Love your job.

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced, technical, and hands-on Manager, Global Security Engineering to lead the team responsible for TI’s enterprise physical security technology. This role owns the architecture, infrastructure, integration, system health, and lifecycle management of the security platforms that protect TI’s people, assets, and operations worldwide.

The manager leads a team of security engineers and directs global contract security integrators. The role combines physical security engineering with systems administration, data integration, and IT skills those platforms depend on. The manager works closely with Security Operations, the Global Security Operations Center (GSOC), IT Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Facilities, Engineering, and Procurement.

Security Engineering exists to serve security operations: systems are owned so completely that operators and leaders simply use them. The team maintains the technical depth to keep critical platforms secure, available, and supported without any single points of failure.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop security engineers, setting clear goals, high standards, and a culture of service and support of Security Operations and the GSOC
• Own the global architecture, roadmap, health, and availability of access control, video management, video analytics, visitor management, mass notification, call recording, and risk intelligence platforms
• Build cross-training, runbooks, and knowledge transfer so critical platforms always have multiple capable administrators
• Design, execute, and maintain enterprise platform migrations, consolidations, and federated architectures that scale across a global footprint and variable network conditions
• Establish enterprise design standards and review integrator designs before deployment
• Plan and execute application, database, and operating system upgrades for security servers, including retirement of end-of-support systems
• Deploy, configure, and performance-tune application, database, recording, and expansion servers
• Oversee routine server maintenance, including monitoring, alert response, troubleshooting, configuration management, and periodic baseline updates
• Partner with IT Infrastructure on virtualization, server builds, backup, and production outage response
• Own integrations between security platforms and enterprise systems, including HR, identity, photo, visitor, and reporting feeds
• Develop APIs, scripts, and middleware connections that improve data quality and reduce manual effort
• Build dashboards and metrics for system health, performance, and operational effectiveness
• Manage security systems as critical IT assets, including patching, hardening, vulnerability remediation, encryption, certificate management, and least-privilege access
• Coordinate network connectivity, firewall rules, and segmentation for sites, remote locations, and mobile security assets
• Partner with Cybersecurity on risk assessments, audits, logging, and compliance with enterprise security standards
• Direct contract security integrators, including scope, design approval, quality, SLA performance, and commissioning
• Manage manufacturer relationships, licensing, support agreements, and technical escalations
• Develop annual capital and operating forecasts and lifecycle replacement plans
• Lead security technology scope for new facilities, expansions, and major projects from design through handover
• Maintain architecture diagrams, standards, asset inventories, SOPs, change records, and disaster recovery documentation
• Lead business continuity, redundancy, backup, and recovery planning for critical security systems
