Security Design Engineer - (OT & IoT)
We are seeking a Security Design Engineer – (OT & IoT) to develop and embed secure-by-design principles across operational technology, industrial control systems, connected devices and associated digital platforms. You will work with engineering, architecture, technology, risk and operational teams to ensure that security is integrated throughout the design, delivery and lifecycle of OT and IoT environments. The role will involve translating business and operational requirements into practical, resilient security solutions that protect safety, availability, integrity and confidentiality.
Key responsibilities include producing security architectures, design patterns, threat models and risk assessments for OT and IoT solutions; reviewing system designs, network diagrams, configuration standards and technical proposals; and defining appropriate controls across identity and access management, segmentation, secure remote access, monitoring, vulnerability management, encryption and incident response. You will contribute to security requirements, technical assurance activities, design reviews and governance forums, while supporting the development of standards, policies and reusable security guidance. The role will also involve assessing suppliers and products, identifying security weaknesses, recommending remediation, and helping teams manage exceptions and residual risk throughout the technology lifecycle.
The successful candidate will have experience designing or assuring cybersecurity solutions within OT, industrial, manufacturing, energy, utilities, transport or similarly complex environments, together with a sound understanding of IoT architectures, industrial protocols, embedded systems and enterprise integration. Knowledge of recognised security frameworks and standards such as IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001, NIS2 or the Purdue Model is highly desirable. You should be able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, explain complex risks clearly, and influence decisions in environments where safety, reliability and operational continuity are critical. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed.
