[Hiring] Senior Cybersecurity Engineer @GE Vernova

Role Description

We are looking for a senior OT cybersecurity engineer to join the Grid Automation Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (COE). The COE is a new central team within the Grid Automation OT Cybersecurity Product Line, and it owns how cybersecurity is delivered on Grid Automation projects worldwide. This is a hands-on role. You will design, build, configure, test and, where needed, commission security solutions on complex utility and industrial projects. You will then turn that work into the standards, templates, scripts and training that regional teams use on every project that follows. You will be the recognized technical owner for a set of solutions in the GA cybersecurity portfolio. Regional teams will come to you when a project goes beyond their experience.

Projects are grouped into three tiers:

• On complex (Tier 1) projects, the COE leads cybersecurity execution.
• On standard (Tier 2) projects, the region delivers using the COE toolkit, with COE support and training.
• On routine (Tier 3) projects, the region works independently and the COE reviews key milestones.

You will also make delivery faster and more consistent by automating repeatable work in PowerShell and using frontier AI models to speed up documentation, requirements mapping and configuration reviews.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 8 years in industrial automation or the energy sector, including at least 5 years of hands-on OT cybersecurity delivery on customer projects.
• Applied knowledge of IEC 62443 on real projects (especially parts 3-2, 3-3 and 2-4).
• Working knowledge of NERC CIP, NIS2, CRA, IEC 62351 and NIST.
• Sound understanding of substation and grid automation systems and protocols such as IEC 61850, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104 and Modbus.
• Expert, hands-on skills in at least three areas, and working knowledge of most of the others:
• Firewalls (Fortinet preferred)
• OT network monitoring (Nozomi, Dragos or similar)
• Secure remote access (Xona or similar)
• Active Directory (Group Policy, RADIUS, LDAP)
• PKI
• SIEM
• Centralized security management platforms
• Application control (Trellix or similar)
• Backup and recovery
• Windows and Linux server build (hardening & virtualization)
• Hardening of field devices (IEDs, RTUs and gateways)
• Working proficiency in PowerShell for Windows Server and Active Directory administration.
• Proven ability to produce security documentation that customers and auditors accept.
• Experience training engineers and willingness to travel 20–40%, including extended site stays and ability to work across time zones.

Requirements

• Certifications such as GICSP, GRID, ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Expert, CISSP, Fortinet FCP or FCSS (formerly NSE 4 and NSE 7) or Splunk Core Certified, or vendor training – Nozomi/Dragos.
• Experience as the cybersecurity lead on large utility, data center or industrial projects with multiple vendors and demanding customers.
• Experience building AI-assisted engineering workflows, such as prompt libraries, agent-based tools or API integrations, for documentation, requirements mapping, etc.
• Configuration-as-code and scripting experience: PowerShell DSC or Ansible, Python for Linux.
• Communicates clearly: writes procedures other engineers can follow without help, and explains and defends design decisions with both junior engineers and customer security teams.
• Holds scope boundaries with customers firmly and professionally, knowing this discipline protects both schedule and margin.
• Experience working in a global, multicultural organization. Additional languages are a plus.
• Takes ownership: when a problem appears on one project, fixes the toolkit so it does not happen again.
