  • Monitor emerging OT cybersecurity threats and recommend improvements to security controls and operational processes.

Required Qualifications
  • 7+ years of cybersecurity experience, with significant experience in OT, ICS, SCADA, or critical infrastructure environments.

  • Hands-on experience with OT/industrial protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET.

  • Strong knowledge of OT network architecture, firewalls, network segmentation, and industrial cybersecurity controls.

  • Experience implementing the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture/Model for OT network segmentation.

  • Hands-on experience with one or more OT security platforms such as Claroty, Nozomi Networks, Dragos, or Tenable.ot.

  • Strong understanding of OT asset discovery, vulnerability management, threat detection, and incident response.

  • Experience working in SAFe Agile, Scrum, or Kanban environments.

  • Knowledge of NIST SP 800-82 and IEC 62443 cybersecurity frameworks and standards.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Certifications such as GICSP, GRID, CISSP, or CISM.

  • Experience securing critical infrastructure, transportation, utilities, energy, manufacturing, or other industrial environments.
