Position Overview

We are seeking an OT Cybersecurity Engineer with strong core IT skills who is eager to build a career in Operational Technology (OT) and industrial cybersecurity. In this role, you will learn specialized proprietary power plant control systems and deploy, configure, test, and troubleshoot cybersecurity solutions that safeguard critical energy infrastructure. You will work directly alongside experienced team members, supporting technology implementations, network monitoring, vulnerability assessments, and technical support for industrial customers across North America. This role is ideal for an IT professional, systems administrator, network technician, or recent computer science/cybersecurity graduate looking to transition into hands-on industrial control systems (ICS) security.

Key Responsibilities

• Cybersecurity Deployment: Install, configure, validate, troubleshoot, and document cybersecurity solutions for industrial control environments.
• Network Monitoring: Configure network monitoring and traffic analysis, including SPAN ports and port mirroring, to identify network assets, vulnerabilities, and potential security anomalies.
• Host & System Security: Implement host-based security controls, including application whitelisting and patch management.
• Vulnerability Assessments: Assist with onsite vulnerability scanning, device enumeration, and data gathering at customer facilities.
• Technical Documentation & Reporting: Help prepare vulnerability assessment reports and communicate technical findings clearly to facility operators.
• Customer Interaction: Collaborate directly with customer technicians during implementation to ensure successful handoff and system operation.

Required Qualifications

• Cybersecurity Fundamentals: Clear understanding of core concepts, including the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) and how priorities shift in an operational/industrial environment.
• Networking Fundamentals: Solid understanding of TCP/IP, packet traversal across subnets, switching vs. routing, default gateways, and Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 networking concepts.
• Systems Administration: Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, basic user administration, password policies, and OS/application patching workflows.
• Growth Mindset: High motivation to learn, strong problem-solving skills, and openness to technical coaching.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills for interacting with team members and technical clients.

Logistics & Onsite Requirements

• Training Period: Minimum 3 to 6 months of hands-on, 5-day onsite training at our Alpharetta, GA assembly and engineering facilities.
• Travel Commitment: Willingness to undertake substantial seasonal travel across the continental United States (typically 5-day assignments Monday-Friday, increasing to 2-3 weeks per month during peak spring/fall outage seasons).

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

(Note: These are not required- comprehensive system-specific training will be provided)

• Prior experience in IT support, helpdesk tier 2/3, networking, or systems administration.
• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., NERC CIP, NIST, IEC 62443, ISO 27001).
• CompTIA certifications (Security+, Network+, A+) or related coursework.
• Exposure to industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, or OT security tools.
