Are you an experienced engineer eager to work at the intersection of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in a highly regulated defence environment We are seeking a skilled Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This position offers the unique opportunity to design develop and maintain cuttingedge infrastructure for naval platform management systems including both surface ships and submarines. You will play a critical role in both the development of the product and the provision and maintenance of the development environment itself supporting missioncritical naval programmes.
In addition to integrating IT/OT systems you will be responsible for the management of IT assets within the development environment ensuring compliance with company and regulatory standards such as ISO27001 and IEC62443. This role is ideal for engineers familiar with Windows Server domains Red Hat Linux virtualisation industrial networking and working within regulated environments such as defence energy or critical infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
Product Development:
- ICS Infrastructure Design: Lead the design and deployment of infrastructure solutions for PMS ensuring high availability security and performance across both surface ships and submarines.
- IT/OT Integration: Develop and implement solutions that facilitate IT/OT convergence integrating operational technology systems with IT infrastructure to enable efficient and secure data exchange between control systems and enterprise development networks.
- Networking & Security: Design and manage robust industrial networking architectures (e.g. Profinet Ethernet/IP fibre optics wireless) for missioncritical applications while ensuring compliance with defencelevel security standards.
- Platform Management Systems: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to design and integrate ICS solutions into PMS ensuring they meet rigorous naval requirements for performance reliability and security.
Development Environment Provision & Maintenance:
- IT Asset Management: Oversee the inventory tracking and lifecycle management of all IT assets within the development environment including both hardware and software ensuring uptodate documentation and optimal resource utilisation.
- Windows Server & Red Hat Linux Management: Maintain secure and configure Windows Server domains and Red Hat Linux environments to support the development and testing of ICS solutions. You will ensure these systems are optimised for reliability security and compliance with defence standards.
- Virtualisation Infrastructure: Design implement and maintain virtualised environments (e.g. VMware HyperV) to facilitate scalable and secure development processes. This includes configuring virtual machines monitoring system health and automating deployment workflows for seamless operations.
- Vulnerability Assessments: Support vulnerability assessments of the development environment including all networked systems operating systems (Windows and Linux) and virtualisation platforms. Work with cybersecurity teams to identify and remediate security risks ensuring the environment is protected against potential cyber threats.
- Cybersecurity & Compliance: Implement and enforce cybersecurity best practices for both IT and OT systems in the development environment. Ensure compliance with defence cybersecurity standards including securing Windows Server domains Linux systems and all network infrastructure from internal and external threats.
- Automated Monitoring & Reporting: Develop automated solutions for continuous monitoring of IT assets network traffic and system vulnerabilities. Generate regular reports on system performance security posture and compliance status.
Cybersecurity & Compliance:
- Cyber Protection Techniques: Implement advanced cyber protection measures including firewalls intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and secure authentication protocols to safeguard both the development environment and the final ICS product.
- Vulnerability Management: Support regularly vulnerability scans security audits and patch management for both IT and OT systems. Collaborate with cybersecurity and product teams to address vulnerabilities apply security patches and harden systems against emerging threats.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all systems and processes within the development environment adhere to defense regulations and cybersecurity standards such as ISO 27001 IEC 62443 and other applicable regulatory frameworks. Implement compliance measures for secure IT and OT systems in line with industry best practices.
Required Skills & Experience:
- IT/OT Convergence: Strong background in IT/OT integration experience working with ICS systems including SCADA and PLCs in industrial environments.
- IT Asset Management: Proven experience in managing IT assets including tracking hardware and software inventory ensuring systems are updated and maintained and handling asset lifecycle management.
- Windows Server & Red Hat Linux: Extensive handson experience in configuring securing and maintaining Windows Server domains and Red Hat Linux environments in complex highsecurity settings.
- Virtualisation: Expertise in virtualisation technologies such as VMware and HyperV with a demonstrated ability to set up maintain and optimise virtual environments for industrial applications.
- Cybersecurity & Vulnerability Management: Strong understanding of cybersecurity practices and vulnerability management for both IT and OT systems. Experience implementing vulnerability assessments reports securing systems and applying necessary patches or remediation.
- Industrial Networking: Knowledge of industrial networking protocols (Ethernet/IP Profinet Modbus) with handson experience in designing deploying and securing networks for industrial control systems.
- Regulated Industry Experience: Previous experience working in regulated environments such as defence energy transportation or critical infrastructure with a deep understanding of compliance and security requirements.
Why Join Us
- EndtoEnd Involvement: Lead a team responsible for both the development of ICS products and the maintenance of the development environment playing a critical role in ensuring the security performance and compliance of these cuttingedge systems.
- Innovative Projects: Work on the design and delivery of nextgeneration infrastructure for naval platforms contributing to national defence and global security efforts.
- Diverse Technology Stack: Gain handson experience with Windows Server domains Red Hat Linux environments virtualisation and cybersecurity tools in a highstakes environment where both IT and OT integration is critical.
- Professional Growth: Take advantage of opportunities to grow your skills through training certification and experience in the defence sector especially in areas like vulnerability management IT asset management and cybersecurity for industrial systems.
- Impactful Work: Work in a regulated environment with tangible realworld outcomes ensuring missioncritical systems are secure compliant and ready for deployment on some of the worlds most advanced naval platforms.
