What is a quality tech?

Quality Techs, also known as Quality Technicians, are professionals who monitor and inspect products or processes to ensure they meet established quality standards. They use various testing equipment and measurement tools to check for defects, document findings, and report issues to supervisors. Quality Techs work closely with production teams to identify problems, implement corrective actions, and help maintain compliance with industry regulations. Their role is crucial in ensuring final products are safe, reliable, and meet customer expectations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a quality tech, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Quality Tech, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in quality assurance or manufacturing, often supported by a relevant associate degree or certification. Familiarity with inspection tools, measurement devices, statistical process control (SPC) software, and ISO quality standards is typically required. Effective communication, problem-solving, and teamwork are essential soft skills for identifying issues and collaborating with production teams. These skills ensure products meet quality specifications, reduce defects, and support continuous improvement in manufacturing processes.

What are some common challenges quality techs face when working with cross-functional teams?

Quality Techs often collaborate with production, engineering, and supply chain teams to ensure products meet quality standards. A common challenge is effectively communicating quality issues or test results to team members who may have different technical backgrounds or priorities. Balancing the need for thorough inspections with production deadlines can also create pressure. Developing strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills helps Quality Techs bridge gaps and foster a culture of quality across the organization.

What is the difference between Quality Tech vs Quality Inspector?

AspectQuality TechQuality Inspector
CertificationsOften requires certifications like ASQ CQE or CQTMay also hold similar certifications, but less frequently
Work EnvironmentHands-on testing, data collection, and process monitoring in manufacturing or production settingsInspection of products or components, often in quality control labs or production lines
Job FocusImplementing quality processes, performing tests, and supporting quality improvementsExamining products for defects, ensuring compliance with standards
Industry UsageCommonly used in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive industriesWidely used across manufacturing, electronics, and consumer goods sectors

While both roles focus on quality assurance, a Quality Tech typically performs testing and process support, whereas a Quality Inspector primarily conducts product inspections. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.

  • Support and lead OT-related incident investigations, containment, and recovery efforts.

Job description

POSITION OVERVIEW
The Senior Information Security Engineer - OT/IoT Security is responsible for leading the design, implementation, and ongoing management of cybersecurity controls across QTS operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), and IoT environments.
This role focuses on protecting critical infrastructure systems supporting data center operations, including building management systems (BMS), electrical/mechanical control systems, environmental monitoring platforms, and connected operational devices.
The engineer ensures that OT/IoT security solutions align with QTS architectural standards, compliance requirements, and evolving threat models targeting industrial and cyber-physical systems. As risks evolve, this role is responsible for recommending enhancements that strengthen resilience across converged IT/OT environments.
While not a people management role, this position serves as atechnical leader and subject matter expert, partnering closely with Security Architecture, Facility Operations, Engineering, and Technology teams to advance QTS's security posture across operational environments.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Other duties may be assigned
OT / ICS Security Engineering
  • Lead the design, deployment, and lifecycle management of security controls for OT, ICS, and IoT environments.
  • Secure critical data center infrastructure systems, including BMS, EPMS, DCIM, PLCs, SCADA components, and industrial network segments.
  • Define and enforce network segmentation strategies between IT and OT environments (zones/conduits).
  • Implement and maintain secure remote access solutions for vendors and operational support teams.
Monitoring & Threat Detection
  • Develop and maintain visibility across OT networks, including asset inventory, network flows, and anomalous behavior detection.
  • Integrate OT telemetry into enterprise monitoring platforms (e.g., SIEM, SOAR) where appropriate.
  • Partner with SOC teams to develop OT-specific detection use cases and incident playbooks.
Vulnerability & Risk Management
  • Establish and maintain OT vulnerability management practices, including asset profiling, passive scanning, and vendor coordination.
  • Assess exploitability and operational risk for OT assets (e.g., controllers, embedded devices, facility systems).
  • Define risk-based remediation strategies considering uptime, safety, and operational constraints.
Incident Response & Resilience
  • Support and lead OT-related incident investigations, containment, and recovery efforts.
  • Develop OT-specific response plans aligned with safety and operational continuity requirements.
  • Participate in tabletop and post-incident exercises with cross-functional teams.
Architecture & Project Leadership
  • Lead OT/IoT security design reviews for new builds, retrofits, and expansion projects.
  • Collaborate with facility engineering, construction, and vendors to embed security in design ("secure by design").
  • Drive security standards for third-party integrations, vendor systems, and supply chain risk.
Compliance & Standards Alignment
  • Implement controls aligned with frameworks such as NIST CSF, NIST 800-82, IEC 62443, CIS, SOC 2, PCI, and other applicable standards.
  • Support audits and evidence collection related to OT/security controls.
Collaboration & Leadership
  • Serve as a trusted partner to Facility Operations, Engineering, and Technology teams.
  • Lead technical discussions and influence security decisions across IT/OT convergence initiatives.
  • Promote a culture of security aligned with QTS core values and servant leadership principles.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with strong engineering background innetwork, systems, or OT security.

  • Experience with OT/ICS technologies such as PLCs, SCADA, BMS/EPMS/DCIM, or industrial protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, etc.).
  • Strong knowledge of OT network segmentation, secure architectures, and zero trust principles.
  • Experience with vulnerability management and risk evaluation in constrained or uptime-sensitive environments.
  • Ability to translate cybersecurity risk into business and operational impact.
  • Proven track record of ownership, accountability, and collaboration across teams.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience in data center or critical infrastructure environments.
  • Familiarity withNIST 800-82, IEC 62443, or other OT-specific frameworks.
  • Experience integrating OT environments into SIEM/SOAR platforms.
  • Scripting experience (Python, PowerShell, etc.) for automation and data analysis.
  • Relevant certifications (CISSP, GICSP, GRID, GCIP, CCSP, etc.).
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES
  • Deep understanding of IT/OT convergence challenges and security controls.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in high-availability environments.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority.
  • Experience with security technologies such as:
