Senior Operational Technology (OT) AI Cybersecurity Architect

Key Responsibilities
Define cybersecurity requirements and reference architecture patterns for AI workloads deployed within OT/ICS environments
Develop secure deployment patterns across edge, on-premises, PCN/DMZ, cloud-brokered, and disconnected environments
Define appropriate security zones and conduits, trust boundaries, network segmentation, and data flows for AI-enabled systems
Establish security requirements governing read-only versus write access, autonomous actions, and human-in-the-loop controls
Design architectures that support operational environments with limited or disconnected cloud connectivity
Develop security patterns for computer vision, machine learning, generative AI, AI agents, agentic AI, and AI-enabled industrial analytics and automation
Define OT security requirements for AI agents, service accounts, machine identities, and other non-human identities
Establish OT-specific attributes and requirements for inclusion in enterprise AI asset and application inventories
Define runtime security monitoring requirements for AI workloads
Establish requirements for model validation, model behavior monitoring, anomaly detection, and AI activity visibility
Integrate AI security monitoring with existing OT detection, incident response, and cyber monitoring capabilities
Conduct and support threat modeling for OT AI use cases and pilot initiatives
Participate in cybersecurity architecture reviews and cyber assurance gates
Evaluate AI implementations for risks involving unauthorized control or write access, model manipulation, data poisoning, prompt injection, excessive AI agent permissions, compromised non-human identities, industrial protocol manipulation, and model hallucination or incorrect interpretation of operational data
Develop an OT AI cyber assurance review checklist for consistent application across AI initiatives
Support the existing Policy 564 cyber assurance process
Develop and refine OT-specific AI cybersecurity guardrails in collaboration with OT cybersecurity, product, engineering, and enterprise AI teams
Align OT AI security controls with existing enterprise AI, AI Agent, and MCP security guardrails
Ensure security architecture aligns with relevant frameworks and guidance, including IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), and MITRE ATLAS
Evaluate how AI models and agents interact with industrial systems and operational data
Apply knowledge of industrial communication protocols, including Modbus, DNP3, and OPC UA, to identify potential security risks
Identify situations where AI models or agents could misinterpret, improperly modify, or manipulate industrial communications or operational commands
Ensure AI security controls address OT requirements related to availability, safety, integrity, deterministic operations, and production continuity
Assess emerging technologies designed to govern and secure AI workloads
Evaluate the applicability of AI Security Posture Management (AISPM) capabilities within OT/ICS environments
Research emerging AI security capabilities, attack techniques, monitoring solutions, and governance platforms
Develop a position paper outlining recommended approaches and technologies for securing AI within OT environments
Contribute to the organization's OT Security for AI strategy and 2027 roadmap
Represent OT cybersecurity in AI governance and security forums, including OT AI Steering Committee, SecureAI, and Responsible AI working sessions
