Columbia, MD (On-Site/Office)
E4 - Sr Systems Engineer – Principal ICS/SCADA Cyber Engineer
Demonstrates ability to lead or supervise a team of specialists in evaluating ICS (Industrial Control System)/SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) OT (Operational Technology) systems and their integration with other OT and IT (Information Technology) systems from a cyber and networking perspective. Able to evaluate applications in support of specific OT requirements and interface with other equipment and systems.
Ability to understand cyber vulnerabilities across multiple ICS/SCADA IT and OT systems; propose workable recommendations for vulnerability remediation & mitigations; and make recommendations for systems improvements that will result in improved cyber security posture. Ability to analyze and suggest recommended improvements to the OT system programs and systems to meet industry standards and best practices as well as applicable DOD (Department of Defense) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity requirements. Ability to lead small team of expert cyber engineers as part of a cyber vulnerability assessment across ICS/SCADA IT & OT systems.
Requirements for 15-20 years of experience in OT and IT
Required: 1) OT design, construction, implementation, installation, programming, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance Test (SAT), and/or Operations and Maintenance of ICSs; 2) This experience will be in electrical, mechanical, security, and fire alarm systems; 3) Cyber security defense in IT and OT systems; 4) Knowledge in IT and OT protocols; 5) IT design, construction, implementation, installation, programming, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test), SAT (Site Acceptance Test), and/or Operations and Maintenance of IT systems; 6) Knowledge in IT and OT in configuration management, system management, end point defense, log management, updates and patching, encryption techniques and procedures, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), security policies, password management, contingency and continuity of planning policies, risk assessment, auditing, incident response and mitigation techniques; and 7) Cyber analysis of IT and OT systems.
Desired: 1) Hands-on experience of programming ICS vendor Human Machine Interface (HMI) equipment as well as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and/or Remote Terminal Units (RTUs); 2) Knowledge in OT and IT system interaction; and 3) Hands-on experience of loading Windows and Linux/Unix OS (Operating Systems), installation of laptop and desktop software and hardware on these systems, installation of network software and hardware on these systems, configuration and maintenance of hardware systems, configuration and maintenance of software systems, configuration and maintenance of network systems, and configuration and maintenance of databases.
Education
BS in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Cyber Security, or related field. Training in ICS and SCADA is required. Security and Facilities Operation Center experience is highly desired. CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CSSA (Certified SCADA Security Architect), GICSP (Global Industrial Control Security Professional), ICS-Cert, ISA Certification, and MS (Microsoft) Windows Operating Systems certifications, MS Server certifications, MS Database certifications, Linux Operating Systems certifications, Linux Server certifications, and Linux Database certifications or relevant experience are highly desired.
