With your expertise in security principles and your understanding of threats at the edge you will help project teams develop and integrate security solutions that can serve as reusable frameworks while still meeting projectspecific requirements. These frameworks are essential for optimizing project effort and are mandatory for delivering the required functionality to our customers with the highest possible quality.

Youll document your solutions and support testing to ensure project teams are equipped with the correct and secure implementations when delivering to customers.

Working at the intersection of IT and OT youll tackle real challenges build scalable services and influence how we innovate and collaborate.
