You will join the Power Conversion and Storage Solutions team as our technical authority, bridging the gap between mission-critical OT systems and the modern cyber threat landscape.

You won’t just "audit" security; you will architect the cyber-resilience of the energy transition, influencing product development, project delivery, and commercial proposals.

• Commercial Leadership: Partner with our Inquiry to Order (ITO) teams to articulate the value of our security offerings, providing accurate cost estimates and technical advocacy to secure major project wins.
• Technical Authority: Serve as the primary security expert for internal teams, partners, and customers, ensuring projects remain compliant with global standards like IEC 62443, NERC-CIP, and ABS Marine Cyber Rules.
• Lifecycle Execution: Lead the security roadmap for major projects—from costing and initial system design to penetration testing and final project commissioning.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or a related field from an accredited university.
• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in Operational Technology (OT) or Industrial Control Systems (ICS) cyber security.

Desired Characteristics:

• Knowledge of recognized IT & OT Security-related standards and technologies
• Deep technical understanding of IEC 61850 standards, architecture, and protocols (MMS, GOOSE, SMV), and the associated security standard IEC 62351.
• Experience in securing devices and communications within an IEC 61850-based Substation or Distributed Energy Resource (DER) network.
• Cyber Security Certification(s) such as CISSP, GICSP, CISM, or relevant vendor certifications.
• Deep understanding of security standards such as IEC 62443 (all parts), NERC-CIP, or DNV/ABS Marine Cyber Rules.
• Hands-on experience with control systems (e.g., PLCs, DCS), SCADA, and real-time operating systems.
• Experience with software development and scripting for security tooling and automation.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills for both technical and commercial audiences.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally as required for project support and customer engagement
