Lead Operational Technology (OT) Network Engineer
Thermo Fisher ScientificFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates should have experience working with hardware, software, field, and research engineers. A strong understanding of serial protocols and embedded systems is required, along with the ability to translate threats into actionable technical specifics and code. Familiarity with attack surfaces, vectors, and effects on weapons systems and transportation fleet assets is also necessary.
The Detection Engineer will understand how cyber threat actors attack operational technology (OT) systems, particularly serial data networks and embedded OT devices. They will develop cyber intrusion detection and prevention methodologies, identify and develop ways to detect anomalies in these systems, and assess and emulate a wide variety of attacks. The role involves translating attack techniques into technical detections, working with vulnerability researchers and cyber intel analysts to understand and predict threats, and describing threats to serial protocols and embedded systems in code. Additionally, the engineer will collaborate with software developers, data analysts, and customers to develop better defenses, assist with developing frameworks and testbeds, and develop software modules.
