Description

Design and Architecture:

  • Design and Implementation: Develop and implement network architectures for ICS environments, including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and industrial Ethernet networks.
  • Security Management: Implement robust security measures, including firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems, to protect ICS networks from cyber threats.
  • Network Monitoring: Monitor network performance and conduct regular assessments to identify and resolve potential issues.
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of network configurations, designs, and security protocols.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with IT and OT (Operational Technology) teams to ensure seamless integration and operation network systems.
  • Vendor Coordination: Coordinate  with vendors to procure necessary networking equipment and software.
  • Upgrades and Maintenance: Plan  and execute network upgrades and maintenance activities to ensure optimal performance and security.
  • Compliance: Ensure network designs and operations comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

 

Required Experience:

  • Minimum  of 5 years of experience in network architecture, with a focus on industrial control systems.
  • Knowledge  of network protocols, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, and routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP).
  • Experience in designing and implementing network security solutions in critical infrastructure, especially in the electrical or energy sectors.
  • Strong  understanding of industrial control system protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850) and network segmentation strategies.
  • ICS/Substation experience.  Be able to understand the terminology and experience in working at a control house at a substation for example.

 

Certification

  • Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCNA, or CCNP are preferred.

 

Technical Skills:

  • Understanding of compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS, NERC CIP, ISO 27001). Familiarity with industry standards such as IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and ISO/IEC 27001.
  • Knowledge of network segmentation, DMZ architecture, and zero-trust security models.
  • Ability  to analyze and troubleshoot complex security issues in ICS and OT environments
