• 5+ years of hands‐on experience securing industrial control system networks.
• Deep knowledge of IEC 62443, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and Purdue Model security principles.
• Proficiency in firewall configuration, VLAN design, and Layer 2/3 switching technologies.
• Demonstrated expertise in network segmentation, zone‐based security, and OT protocol security (e.g., Modbus, OPC‐UA, Profinet/Profibus).
• Familiarity with Secure Remote Access and network monitoring architectures.
• Experience conducting product risk assessments and developing remediation plans.
• Strong analytical, problem‐solving, and incident‐response skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities across multidisciplinary groups.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement secure OT network architectures aligned with IEC 62443, NIST 2.0, and Purdue Model standards.
• Configure, manage, and maintain firewalls, VLANs, and Layer 2/3 switches to achieve defense‐in‐depth segmentation.
• Perform product risk assessments, develop remediation plans, and track mitigation progress.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and real‐time monitoring of OT environments.
• Develop, enforce, and maintain security policies, procedures, and change‐management documentation.
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and project teams to embed security controls into new and existing systems.
• Maintain up‐to‐date network topology diagrams, configuration baselines, and incident‐response playbooks.
• Provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship to cross‐functional staff on OT security best practices.
• Stay current with emerging threats, industry standards, and regulatory requirements affecting industrial networks.
• Support audit readiness and assist with security‐clearance requirements as needed.
