IT Applications, Development & Support Sr Specialist (IT/OT Security & Resilience)

Objective

Serve as the critical on-site champion and "vehicle" for information security and network policy enforcement across manufacturing facilities. This role conducts hands-on verifications of regional network standards, actively protecting the physical and logical integrity of critical IT/OT interconnections. By validating local backup strategies, strengthening industrial gateways, and ensuring the network infrastructure bridging the plant environments is both highly resilient and audit-ready, you will directly safeguard production continuity against cyber risks.

Main Responsibilities

• Cybersecurity Compliance & Optimization: Partner with plant engineering and local teams to implement security baselines and networking best practices on industrial communication hardware without impacting active production lines.

• Audit Readiness & Documentation: Support the regional OT Lead in gathering, reviewing, and maintaining technical "Evidence of Compliance" to satisfy internal audits, corporate ISMS policies, and automotive industry security regulations (e.g., TISAX, ISA/IEC 62443).
• Business Continuity Execution: Lead and provide hands-on technical support for local Business Continuity Plan (BCP) drills, zeroing in on emergency hardware recovery setups and bypass scenario testing.
• Infrastructure Mapping: Create and keep meticulously accurate "as-built" documentation, simple network topology diagrams, and inventory registers for interconnected systems across various manufacturing facilities.
• Network Health Monitoring: Monitor the operational health of the IT/OT network bridge, utilizing network monitoring tools to detect, evaluate, and promptly escalate network performance metrics and security anomalies before they threaten production uptime.

Position Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Cyber Security, or a closely related engineering field.
