Job Description

Architecture & Design

  • Design and implement a segmented OT network architecture transitioning from flat Layer 2 networks to SD-WAN-enabled, zone-based architectures.
  • Define network segmentation strategy (ISA/IEC 62443 zones and conduits model) to isolate critical OT assets and control east-west traffic.
  • Engineer ring and/or resilient topologies across substations and core OT sites to ensure deterministic communication and fault tolerance.
  • Develop SD-WAN design standards including:
    • Underlay/overlay architecture
    • Path selection policies (latency, jitter, packet loss)
    • QoS for ICS protocols (e.g., DNP3, Modbus, IEC 61850)

Security & Compliance

  • Develop and enforce OT-specific cybersecurity controls, including micro-segmentation, firewall zoning, and least-privilege access.
  • Define and implement firewall policies to restrict inter-zone communication and prevent unauthorized access to OT systems.
  • Conduct risk and vulnerability assessments aligned with OT threat models (ransomware, lateral movement, supply chain risks).
  • Ensure compliance with NERC CIP standards and other applicable frameworks.

Implementation & Operations

  • Lead deployment of SD-WAN solutions across OT sites, including integration with existing switching infrastructure (e.g., industrial-grade switches).
  • Configure and maintain high availability mechanisms:
  • Redundant paths and failover (active/active or active/standby)
  • Rapid spanning tree / ERPS / MPLS-TP where applicable
  • Support incident response and root cause analysis for OT network disruptions.
  • Manage projects and deliver on time with periodic status reports to management.
