Run What Runs the World
At ABB, we help important industries outrun - leaner and cleaner.
Every person here makes that happen. By rethinking, rewiring, and improving, we combine the world’s best minds and technologies to elevate performance to a whole new level.
Because at ABB, progress is an expectation - for you, your team, and the world. As a Vision Develop Engineer, you’ll take on challenges that transform industries and drive innovation. We give you the market-leading expertise, technology, and opportunity, and you own the challenge to make an impact that matters.
It won’t always be easy. Growing takes grit. Innovating takes the courage to try, fail, learn, and succeed. But at ABB, you’ll never run alone.
Your Role: Own the Challenge/Take on the Journey
- ICS Security Protection
- Design security architecture and protection strategies for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), PLC, and other OT environments.
- Deploy and manage industrial firewalls, IDS/IPS, and network monitoring tools.
- Ensure the security of industrial protocols (e.g. UA, Profinite) to prevent protocol abuse attacks.
- Configure and manage commercial switches (e.g., Cisco, Huawei, HPE) and industrial switches (e.g., Huawei, Westeros), implementing VLAN segmentation, port security, and other network isolation measures.
- Harden enterprise servers (e.g., Windows Server, Linux), including privilege management, log auditing, patch management, and antivirus deployment. - ICS Risk Assessment & Compliance
- Conduct vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and security audits for ICS to identify critical infrastructure risks. - Security Architecture & Implementation
- Support OT/IT convergence projects, ensuring secure cross-domain data transmission (e.g., MQTT, OPC UA).
- Optimize network device configurations (e.g., switches, routers) with security policies (e.g., SSH instead of Telnet, disabling unused services), traffic monitoring, and centralized log management.
- Develop server security baselines for OS, databases (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle), and middleware compliance. - Security Awareness & Training
- Deliver ICS security training for plant operators and engineers.
- Prepare technical documentation, incident reports, and compliance materials in English.
