• Risk Management & Tool Selection: Hands-on experience performing OT risk evaluations, building mitigation plans, and selecting/deploying modern OT cybersecurity technologies.

• Compliance & GxP Standards: Strong knowledge of regulatory compliance in manufacturing environments, including GxP requirements and industrial frameworks (ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISO 27001).

• Vendor & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to manage external technology vendors and liaise effectively across IT, engineering, business, and plant operational teams.

• Technical Documentation: Demonstrated ability to create clear, auditable architectural blueprints, security baselines, and technical documentation.

 

What We Offer:

• Long-Term Project (1+ year): We offer a stable, long-term collaboration on a well-defined project with a clear scope.

• Unique Projects: You'll be involved in groundbreaking projects within the space program sector with a global reach.
