  • Help define secure architectures, hardening guidelines, and protection measures for manufacturing systems, connected assets, and production equipment
  • Conduct or support security assessments, vulnerability management, incident response, and risk reduction activities across OT environments
  • Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, IT, procurement, and cybersecurity teams to support secure integration of systems, suppliers, and technologies
  • Contribute to industrial cybersecurity compliance efforts related to standards and frameworks such as IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIST, NERC CIP, and CTPAT

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in IT Security, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience in industrial IT/OT cybersecurity may also be considered
  • 2+ years of experience in industrial cybersecurity, manufacturing IT/OT, plant IT, automation, controls, network engineering, or a related environment
  • Knowledge of manufacturing infrastructure, IT/OT systems, secure architecture principles, system hardening, vulnerability management, and incident handling
  • Familiarity with industrial devices, IIoT or connected factory environments, network security technologies, and cybersecurity risks in production settings
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across technical teams and shop floor organizations
