  • Must be comfortable operating in safety-sensitive environments and exercising stop-work authority when needed.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in MIS, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field or equivalent relevant experience.
  • 7–10 years supporting and maintaining local and wide area network infrastructure.
  • Strong working knowledge of Cisco switching (must be able to configure switches independently without hands-on guidance).
  • Strong understanding of network security concepts and best practices.
  • Experience with firewall operations, policy development, and deployment; familiarity with enterprise firewall concepts.
  • Familiarity with securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) aligned to NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 2 .
  • Strong understanding of routing and switching protocols (including OSPF/BGP).
  • Ability to clearly present technical concepts and proposals to business stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to multitask, prioritize work, and adapt in fast-changing environments.
  • Comfortable working in operational/plant environments.
  • Eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
