Job Description Position Summary

The OT Security Analyst will play a key role in strengthening Thermo Fisher Scientific’s manufacturing, laboratory, and R&D environments by supporting vulnerability management, data analytics, and reporting capabilities within OT security operations. This role focuses on execution — ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, tracked, and remediated effectively while providing actionable insights that improve the overall security posture.

Working closely with OT Security Operations, engineering teams, and the enterprise SOC, the Analyst will analyze data, develop reporting, and support operational workflows to ensure visibility, accountability, and continuous improvement across a global environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze OT vulnerabilities, advisories, and threat intelligence relevant to manufacturing, lab, and R&D systems.
• Assess risk and prioritize remediation activities based on business impact, exploitability, and operational constraints.
• Develop and track remediation plans in collaboration with site teams, engineering, and security stakeholders.
• Operate and maintain vulnerability management workflows, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of findings.
• Develop dashboards, metrics, and reports to provide visibility into OT security posture, vulnerabilities, and remediation progress.
• Analyze large datasets to identify trends, systemic risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Support KPI definition and tracking aligned to OT security program objectives.
• Leverage data visualization tools to communicate insights effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with SOC and OT security operations teams to support monitoring, detection, and response activities.
• Assist in correlating vulnerability data with security events to improve risk-based decision making.
• Support incident response efforts by providing vulnerability and asset context.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of detection and response capabilities in OT environments.
• Partner with OT engineering, site operations, IT, and cyber security teams to ensure effective vulnerability remediation.
• Build strong working relationships across manufacturing, lab, and R&D organizations.
• Communicate findings, risks, and remediation status clearly to stakeholders.
• Management and coordination of activities across multiple sites and teams to drive consistent outcomes.
• Identify opportunities to improve vulnerability management processes, tooling, and reporting.
• Contribute to standardization of practices across sites and environments.
• Development of playbooks, documentation, and best practices.
• Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry trends relevant to OT environments.

Travel

Up to 20% travel to manufacturing, lab, and R&D sites as needed to support assessments and remediation efforts.
