IoT-OT Networking Engineer

Network Architecture, Security & IT/OT Integration:

• Develop and maintain IoT/OT network architectures aligned with ISA/IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and zero-trust principles.
• Implement secure connections between Vegetable R&D sites and corporate networks with robust IT/OT boundary protection.
• Manage certificate lifecycle, device authentication, encryption, and SBOM/supply-chain controls for firmware and edge devices.

Industrial Systems & Hardware Integration:

• Integrate sensors, PLCs, SCADA/DCS, historians, and industrial data loggers with secure northbound flows and store-and-forward buffering.
• Configure firmware, edge devices/gateways, and PLC programming for reliable data acquisition and seamless system connectivity.
• Identify and implement appropriate sensors, electronics, and hardware to digitize manual R&D processes.

Operations, Monitoring & Change Management:

• Maintain OT asset inventory (passive discovery), validate patches/firmware, and enforce backup/restore for PLC/SCADA configurations.
• Deploy passive OT monitoring (TAP/SPAN), establish ICS-specific incident response playbooks, and coordinate with enterprise SOC.
• Execute formal management of change (MOC) with production windows, rollback procedures, and runbooks to avoid process disruptions.
