Electronic Technician - Operational Technology Cybersecurity Automated Control Specialist

Port of Seattle•Seattle, WA

About The Position

As an Electronic Technician - Operational Technology Cybersecurity Automated Control Specialist, you will be responsible for robust cybersecurity solutions tailored to operational technology environments, such as industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, and other Operational Technology (OT) infrastructures for Aviation Maintenance. You will develop architecture, mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance to safeguard critical systems against cyber threats and protect business operations from catastrophic failures and evolving risks. You will develop, implement, and enforce information security policies, procedures, and standards to ensure compliance with Information Security (IS) team. You will perform regular vulnerability scans and compliance audits to identify and mitigate potential security risks and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements. You will monitor systems for security incidents, lead investigations, and coordinate response efforts to contain and resolve threats, minimizing impact on operations. You will support cybersecurity incident response by performing containment, eradication, and restoration actions on OT systems in collaboration with Information Security. You will design and implement intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and endpoint protection solutions to secure and safeguard critical OT infrastructure and environments. You will keep up to date with emerging cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory changes, recommending proactive measures to strengthen the system security. You will configure, monitor, and optimize Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms to collect, analyze, and correlate security event data, enabling real-time threat detection and incident response. You will help design, implement, and maintain firewall policies and rules to secure network perimeters, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats while optimizing system performance. You will configure, manage, and secure Active Directory environments by designing and implementing Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to enforce security settings, such as password policies, account lockout rules, and access controls, to mitigate unauthorized access and privilege escalation risks. You will work on hardening Linux systems by configuring secure user authentication, file permissions, and implementing tools like SELinux or AppArmor, and disabling unnecessary services to reduce attack surfaces. You will oversee the timely deployment of security patches and software updates for Linux systems, Windows systems, applications, and dependencies and automate patch management solutions to mitigate vulnerabilities. You will secure, update and harden VMware infrastructure by configuring secure access controls, implementing least privilege principles, and applying VMware security vest practices to protect virtualized environments from unauthorized access and vulnerabilities. You will develop an OT inventory model for cybersecurity purposes, inventory OT assets, identify gaps in OT network architecture and assign security level targets to network zones for control systems. You will develop cybersecurity countermeasures for systems and applications, define baseline system security requirements in partnership with Information Security, oversee implementation of system controls and develop system upgrade specifications. You will be doing design, administration, maintenance, installation, and repair of complex electronic systems, server installation and maintenance, network infrastructure troubleshooting and repair. You will execute cybersecurity countermeasures, including server patching, firmware updates, and firewall configuration. You will secure the systems listed below, but not limited to: Video Management System Access Control Systems Flight Information Display Systems Baggage Conveyor Systems Ailine Common Use Systems Parking Garage Management Systems
