The Industrial Security team partners with departments organization-wide to embed security into the design and development of programs and infrastructure. There are very few jobs in security that will challenge you like this will.
We are looking for a dynamic and versatile engineer who has an intense fascination with securing these environments.

Work with detection and operations teams to develop intrusion and prevention processes, techniques, and solutions

Respond to and, when appropriate, resolve or escalate security incidents
Develop and maintain documentation for security systems and operational procedures
Investigate and resolve security violations by providing root cause analysis and provide remediation solutions or preventative measures
Requirements:
Experience in OT/ICS/CPS or critical infrastructure environments, and an understanding of the unique challenges encountered within these sectors
3+ years in hands-on experience in at least two of the following areas: technical security testing/engineering, systems/network engineering, or security compliance assessments
Understanding of industrial standards (e.g., IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82) and regional regulations (e.g., EU NIS2, NERC-CIP, AESCSF, NCSC CAF)
