  • Experience with incident response, root cause analysis, and remediation
  • Knowledge of networking fundamentals (firewalls, segmentation, routing)
  • Experience with vulnerability management tools (e.g., Rapid7 or similar)
  • Strong understanding of identity and access management systems
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Security certifications (CISSP, GIAC, Security+, etc.)
  • Experience working in manufacturing or multi-site environments
  • Familiarity with security frameworks and building playbooks
  • Experience leading projects and working cross-functionally
