Littelfuse is seeking a Senior Security Engineer to independently design, implement, optimize, and govern complex security controls that protect enterprise systems, networks, applications, cloud services, data, and manufacturing operations. Serving as a senior subject-matter expert, the role handles highly complex and ambiguous technical assignments and partners with IT, Engineering, Compliance, Product Security, and business teams to embed security by design into new solutions and changes, assess technical and third-party risk, and improve the reliability and effectiveness of the global security control environment.

About Your Job:

• Design, implement, configure, test, optimize, and manage the lifecycle of complex security technologies and controls across endpoint, identity, network, cloud, email, application, data, and manufacturing environments.
• Partner with IT and business teams to embed security by design into complex projects, architecture decisions, technology implementations, integrations, and significant changes that span multiple systems or security domains.
• Perform security architecture reviews, technical risk assessments, vulnerability reviews, and third‑party security assessments for complex or high‑risk solutions; make well‑supported risk‑based recommendations, challenge proposed designs where needed, and drive remediation to verified closure.
• Define, govern, and continuously improve secure configuration baselines, technical standards, implementation guidance, operating procedures, and supporting evidence.
• Drive engineering contributions to complex vulnerability and configuration‑risk remediation by validating exposure, prioritizing risk, coordinating remediation across system owners, and verifying closure through evidence and testing.
• Act as a senior subject‑matter expert for assigned security domains; analyze emerging threats, vulnerabilities, technologies, and control capabilities, and develop practical solutions appropriate for a global manufacturing environment and OT/IT boundaries.
• Collaborate with Security Operations on complex detection engineering, incident investigations, logging improvements, containment enhancements, and lessons learned that require durable technical control changes.
• Partner with Compliance and Risk teams to translate ambiguous policy, regulatory, customer, and audit requirements into scalable, measurable, and implementable technical controls.
• Define technical health indicators and use telemetry, metrics, dashboards, automation, testing, and trend analysis to identify control drift or coverage gaps, measure remediation progress, and improve security effectiveness over time.
• Represent Security Engineering as a senior technical contributor in major projects and contribute to customer security assessments, M&A technology integrations, and other initiatives that require advanced security engineering expertise.

AI and automation responsibilities

• Apply generative AI and agentic AI responsibly to accelerate complex security analysis, control validation, documentation, detection content, vulnerability triage, and repetitive engineering workflows.
• Design and implement reusable security automation and integrations using APIs, scripting, orchestration, and workflow platforms, with appropriate human oversight, logging, access control, testing, output validation, and rollback mechanisms.
• Assess AI‑enabled solutions and workflows for prompt injection, data leakage, excessive access, model misuse, insecure integrations, supply‑chain risk, privacy considerations, and auditability before adoption.
• Define and implement technical guardrails for AI‑enabled security workflows within assigned domains, including access controls, logging, human review, data classification, test cases, rollback plans, and output validation.
• Validate AI‑generated outputs used in security engineering and clearly document assumptions, limitations, and verification steps so that generated content is not treated as trusted without appropriate review.

About You:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5-7+ years of progressively responsible experience in cybersecurity engineering, infrastructure security, cloud security, systems engineering, or a related technical role, including experience resolving complex technical problems across multiple systems or security domains.
• Advanced working knowledge of security architecture and controls across identity and access, endpoints, networks, cloud platforms, operating systems, applications, data protection, and manufacturing or OT environments.
• Demonstrated experience independently conducting complex security architecture reviews, technical risk assessments, vulnerability analysis, hardening, control implementation, and remediation workstreams with limited guidance.
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous business, risk, and compliance requirements into scalable and implementable technical controls, clear documentation, and practical risk‑based recommendations.
• Hands‑on experience with standard security technologies such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM)
• Experience using security telemetry, detection logic, dashboards, control‑health metrics, and evidence‑based testing to measure and improve security effectiveness.
