Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in technology, cybersecurity, engineering, computer science or a related field.
At least seven years of multifaceted cybersecurity or technology experience, including security or solution architecture responsibilities.
Proven success crafting security solutions in R&D laboratory and OT environments.
Experience generating, maintaining and reviewing reference architectures, standards, decision records, threat models and implementation guardrails.
Ability to lead architecture from an ambiguous business need through requirements, design, implementation, production transition and lifecycle improvement.
Solid understanding of Zero Trust, identity and privileged access, segmentation, endpoint and asset security, secure connectivity, cloud integration, data transfer, monitoring and incident-response integration.

Responsibilities

Compose end-to-end security solution architecture. Partner with scientists and technology teams to translate R&D and laboratory workflows into clear requirements, architecture options, proofs of value and production-ready designs.
Develop reference architectures that scale. Generate, maintain and review current-state, interim and target-state architectures, standards, decision records, threat models, control mappings and implementation patterns.
Modernize R&D laboratory and OT security. Design risk-tiered asset onboarding, secure instrument connectivity, controlled data exchange, laboratory automation, and secure remote and third-party access.
Make Zero Trust practical. Apply identity-, asset-, application-, data-, session- and purpose-aware controls, least privilege, continuous verification and micro-segmentation while accommodating legacy and non-agentable equipment.
Set the modernization roadmap. Strengthen security patterns, assess enterprise capabilities and emerging technologies, test interoperability and failure modes, and recommend vendor-neutral solutions based on risk, value, scalability, cost and operability.
Serve as a trusted design authority. Lead reviews, maintain traceability from requirements to controls, govern exceptions and resolve material security, risk and operational gaps before implementation.
Design for sustainable operations. Define ownership, support, monitoring, incident response, lifecycle management, validation, recovery, supplier responsibilities, service levels and production-readiness criteria.
Unite diverse teams around a shared vision. Align R&D, engineering, Quality, operations, product teams, sites and service providers across network, OT, identity, endpoint, data and laboratory initiatives.
Demonstrate measurable impact. Establish baselines and communicate architecture adoption, risk reduction, delivery flow, operational health, customer experience and continual-improvement progress.
