Role Summary For the development and commissioning of the PALLAS Reactor, we are looking for an experienced IT/OT Cybersecurity Architect. In this role, you will be responsible for supporting and guiding the development, integration, and implementation of cybersecurity within the Operational Technology (OT) environment of the PALLAS Reactor. You will operate at the intersection of OT, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, and nuclear safety. Your responsibility will be to ensure that cybersecurity is fully integrated into the architecture and technical implementation of the reactor and production environment, from the design phase through to commissioning. You will work closely with various disciplines, including OT engineering, IT, cybersecurity, system architecture, suppliers, and project and commissioning teams. What Makes This Role Unique? In this role, you will work on cybersecurity within an environment where availability, integrity, safety, and security are all of critical importance. You will have the opportunity to approach cybersecurity not merely as an IT issue, but as an integral part of the architecture and lifecycle of a nuclear installation.
