Information Security Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

IIoTSecurity Architecture and Standards

• Security Architecture: Define and own the security architecture for connectedIIoTproducts, including device identity frameworks (PKI/certificate management), secure boot chains, cryptographic key management, and hardware root of trust.
• Industrial Standards Leadership:Establishand enforce security design requirements based on applicable standards and frameworks (e.g., IEC 62443, UL 2900, NERC CIP, NIST SP 800-82, NIST CSF) across product lines.
• OT/IT Convergence: Design security boundaries and communication controls for environments where operational technology (OT) interfaces with enterprise IT systems, ensuring defense-in-depth across both layers.
• Protocol and Interface Security: Evaluate andprovidesecurity guidance on industrial communication protocols used in energy and grid applications (e.g., IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, CAN bus, GOOSE/Sampled Values).

Threat Modeling and Risk Management

• Lead Threat Modeling: Conduct and lead structured threat modeling exercises (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA) for newIIoTproduct initiatives and significant feature changes, translating identified risks into actionable design controls.
• Risk Prioritization: Assess and prioritize security risks across fielded and in-development device portfolios based on exploitability, potential impact to grid operations or physical safety, and business criticality.
• Vulnerability Coordination: Serve as the technical lead for coordinating responses to security vulnerabilitiesidentifiedin fieldedIIoTproducts, including working with Product, Engineering, and customers on disclosure and remediation timelines.
• Supply Chain Security: Evaluate hardwarecomponentand third-party software supply chain risks, providing security requirements for procurement and vendor selection of embedded components.

Governance, Consultation, and Leadership

• Security SME: Act as the primary subject matter expert forIIoTand OT product security, providing high-context technical consultation to product architects, engineering leads, and executive leadership.
• Security Standards Ownership: Own the product security standards, policies, and design review processes applicable toIIoTdevices, ensuring teams have clear, actionable requirements before development begins.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Hardware, Firmware, Systems Engineering, and Product Management teams to embed security requirements early in the product development process without creating unnecessary friction.
• Incident Leadership: Serve as the senior technical contributor during high-severity security incidents involving fieldedIIoTproducts, leading root cause analysis and driving architectural improvements to prevent recurrence.
• Public Disclosure and Advisory: Coordinate with Threat Intelligence and engineering teams to documentidentifiedvulnerabilities andassistin drafting CVEs and public security advisories following successful remediation.

TechnicalComponents

• IIoTand Embedded Security:Demonstratedexpertisein securing embedded andIIoTdevices, including secure boot, hardware security modules (HSMs), trusted execution environments (TEEs), and firmware security architecture.
• Industrial Protocols: Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols common in energy and grid applications (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, CAN bus) and their associated security considerations.
• OT/ICS Security: Strong understanding of OT and ICS security principles, network segmentation strategies (e.g., Purdue Model, IEC 62443zonesand conduits), and the unique threat landscape of connected energy infrastructure.
• PKI and Cryptography: Solid understanding of public key infrastructure, certificate lifecycle management for device identity, and applied cryptography as it relates to constrained embedded environments.
• Security Standards: Deep familiarity with IEC 62443, UL 2900, NERC CIP, and NIST SP 800-82; ability to translate standards requirements into concrete, enforceable product security controls.
• Threat Modeling: Proven experience leading structured threat modeling sessions for hardware/firmware products in OT or energy environments.
• Performs other related duties as required and assigned.
