Position Summary
The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer – Network Security will lead the design, engineering, implementation, and continuous improvement of network security controls across a globally distributed industrial manufacturing environment. The role will secure enterprise networks, cloud connectivity, remote access, and IT/OT boundaries while ensuring resilient, scalable, and compliant security architecture across regions.
Work this position does
- Design, implement, and maintain global network security architecture, standards, and engineering baselines.
- Administer and optimize next-generation firewalls, network segmentation, secure remote access, VPN, SASE/SSE, IDS/IPS, and related security controls.
- Strengthen IT/OT segmentation and secure connectivity to manufacturing sites, plants, data centers, and industrial systems in coordination with OT and plant engineering teams.
- Lead firewall rule reviews, access-control assessments, network security hardening, configuration reviews, and remediation of identified weaknesses.
- Support security incident response by investigating network-based threats, analyzing traffic and logs, implementing containment measures, and coordinating with the SOC and incident response teams.
- Manage network security changes, upgrades, lifecycle management, high availability, disaster recovery, and configuration backups.
- Establish global network security standards while accommodating regional regulatory requirements, data residency constraints, and operational needs.
- Evaluate new technologies, identify architectural gaps, and develop roadmaps for network security modernization.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, cloud, workplace technology, identity, vulnerability management, and third-party service providers.
- Maintain technical documentation, network security diagrams, operational procedures, audit evidence, and risk exceptions.
- Provide technical inputs during complex implementations, outages, incidents, and security improvement initiatives.
Specific Objective of this role
Establish and continuously improve a consistent, resilient, and risk-based network security posture across all global locations, with particular emphasis on secure IT/OT connectivity, effective network segmentation, controlled privileged and third-party access, and rapid containment of network-based threats—without disrupting critical manufacturing operations.
