Job Title

Senior Production Security Specialist, ITPE

Role Summary

Hands-on security specialist responsible for implementing and operating cybersecurity controls across production and test environments for networking product lines. The role spans internal and contract manufacturing sites and combines PKI/key management, test-data-path hardening, endpoint protection, and governance to ensure secure manufacturing lifecycles.

Experience Level

Senior — at least 5 years of hands-on technical cybersecurity experience in infrastructure, OT/industrial, or related environments.

Responsibilities

Accountable for design, implementation, and enforcement of production security controls and for enabling secure engineering velocity across manufacturing sites.

• Design, implement, automate, and maintain a secure PKI and certificate lifecycle for production and test systems.
• Build secure key provisioning and code-signing workflows within automated test (ATE) pipelines.
• Harden test-engineer datapaths to prevent data tampering or leakage.
• Implement security baselines, endpoint protection, and privileged access management across test stations and MES.
• Define, enforce, and audit security policies across internal sites and contract manufacturers.
• Implement network segmentation between corporate, engineering, and manufacturing networks.
• Run recurring security syncs and present security status to ITPE leadership; drive security projects end-to-end.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience to operate in a manufacturing/test environment.

• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in a technical cybersecurity role (infrastructure security, OT/industrial security, or similar).
• Deep practical knowledge of PKI concepts, digital certificates, encryption, TLS, and key management technologies (implementation and operations).
• Experience with factory production flows, ATE data paths, or hardware production pipelines and their security considerations.
• Hands-on experience with network segmentation, Windows and Linux OS hardening, and secure access controls.
• Proven track record driving security projects and enforcing compliance across third-party manufacturing sites.
• Clear verbal and written communication in English; self-reliant and proactive work style.
• Automation/scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for security tooling and workflows are desirable.
• Familiarity with OT/ICS security frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-82, IEC 62443) is advantageous.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. in Computer Science, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience. Preferred certifications mentioned in the posting include GICSP, CISSP, or specialized PKI/cryptography certifications.
