Cyber Security & Operation Telemetry (OT) – Solutions Architect
**Role Summary:**
Design, implement, and deliver secure, scalable, and resilient architectures for Operational Telemetry (OT) initiatives. Lead architectural consistency across the OT program, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices.
**Expectations:**
* Deliver secure enterprise‑level OT solutions with a focus on cyber resilience.
* Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of OT protocols, security frameworks, and compliance standards.
* Provide architectural guidance to project teams and ensure architectural decisions are documented and approved.
**Key Responsibilities:**
1. Architect secure data flows for Encryption of Control Data in Transit (ECDT).
2. Develop vulnerability tracking and remediation frameworks (VTR) for proactive risk management.
3. Harden Human Machine Interfaces (HMIH) and engineer laptop environments (ELH).
4. Implement Zero Trust (ZT) principles, including Network Access Control, NDR, and EDR.
5. Design and oversee the Supply Chain Passport Process (SCPP) for third‑party risk.
6. Create and manage Data of Last Resort (DLR) Automated and immutable backup solutions.
7. Define logical and physical architecture, data lineage, integration points, and application usage.
8. Establish support and operating models in line with enterprise architecture standards.
9. Draft and maintain architectural documentation, standards, and guidelines.
**Required Skills:**
* 5+ years in cybersecurity; 2+ years in OT/industrial environments.
* Proven experience in solutions architecture for enterprise‑scale OT projects.
* Deep expertise in OT convergence, network segmentation, and system hardening.
* Hands‑on knowledge of encryption (IPSec, TLS, SDWAN) and secure OT protocols (MQTT, DNP3, etc.).
* Multi‑factor authentication, AD/EntraID integration, and advanced authentication domain experience.
* Familiarity with compliance frameworks: IEC 62443, NIST 800‑series, NIS‑D, NCSC guidelines, and the Purdue model.
* Experience designing vulnerability tracking and remediation frameworks for OT.
* Strong understanding of secure configuration, cyber resilience principles, and OT penetration testing.
* Ability to produce and maintain architectural artifacts (diagrams, data lineage, documentation).
**Desirable Skills:**
* SaaS and cloud‑based security architecture.
* Data classification, DLP, and secure data flow design.
* Azure DevOps (ADO) for project management and reporting.
* Exposure to Business Design Horizon or similar design tools.
**Required Education & Certifications:**
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Security or related field.
* Relevant certifications: CISSP, CISM, CEH, or equivalent; OT‑specific certifications (e.g., IEC 62443‑4‑2, NIST 800‑53) preferred.
