The role covers the full project lifecycle, from engineering and FAT through site installation, testing and commissioning. It is a technically demanding, project-delivery-focused role at the intersection of industrial automation, network architecture and OT cybersecurity, reporting to the Automation Engineering Manager.

Key responsibilities

• Engineer, configure and test the 800xA ICSS and PMS network infrastructure according to the approved architecture and project specifications, including industrial switches, routers and firewalls, redundancy, VLAN segmentation, IP addressing, firewall/DMZ rules and network time synchronization.
• Implement cybersecurity controls from the Cybersecurity Design Specification in line with IEC 62443, including Windows server and workstation hardening, Active Directory and RBAC, antimalware, application whitelisting, port/USB lockdown, secure remote access, patch deployment and backup/restore.
• Prepare engineering and testing deliverables such as switch and firewall configuration files, IP/VLAN and port allocation schedules, FAT and SAT test procedures, cybersecurity verification tests, test reports and as-built documentation.
• Take part in FAT and SAT activities, including network validation, cybersecurity verification testing and troubleshooting of network and security issues.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Telecommunication or Computer Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in industrial network and/or OT cybersecurity engineering, testing and commissioning on DCS/ICSS/PMS platforms; offshore, marine or FPSO project experience is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with industrial network design (Belden / Cisco switches, routers, firewalls) in an ICSS/PMS environment.
• Experience with ABB System 800xA or comparable DCS platforms (Honeywell, Emerson, Yokogawa) is an advantage.

Required skills

• Working knowledge of industrial protocols: Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC/OPC UA, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and IEC 61850.
• IEC 62443 cybersecurity controls and Windows hardening.

What we offer

• Work on complex offshore automation and cybersecurity projects with ABB's technologies.
• Development of expertise in OT cybersecurity, industrial networking and control systems.
• Collaboration with a global team of automation, power management and cybersecurity specialists.
• Exposure to the full project lifecycle, from design and testing to commissioning.
• Ongoing learning, development and global career opportunities within ABB.
