Team leader – Industrial Cyber Security
Would you like to build and lead a team of researchers focusing on how to make industrial operational technology (OT) systems safe and secure?
DNV delivers cyber security services for both IT and OT systems, as well as integrated IT/OT systems. To further strengthen DNV capabilities, the Group Research & Development will establish a dedicated team focusing on the future technologies of cyber security in the OT and integrated IT/OT domain. We are looking for a passionate researcher and leader to lead the team and to set the direction for future cyber security resilient architectures. If you have a research background and want to have the opportunity to work in close interaction with the industry, this is a great opportunity.
Group Research and Development (GRD) performs strategic and applied research for DNV focusing on knowledge development through collaborations with academia and industry, providing thought leadership through external publications and forecasts, and creating scientific legitimacy to DNV services.
The Digital Assurance research programme in GRD has the ambition to “shape the future of digital assurance”: How can we make the digital transformation safe and secure? The program is currently organized into teams covering the following topics: Digital Transformations, Artificial Intelligence, Risk and Modelling, Simulations, and Emerging technologies. The program is now expanding by establishing a new team on “Industrial cyber security” and seeking a new team leader.
The Industrial Cyber security team will focus on
- Industrial assets, critical infrastructure and high-risk systems
- The impacts of new technology (AI, quantum, etc) and regulations in the security landscape
- New approaches for cyber security through new technology, new barrier principles, new design philosophies, new operating models, etc.
- Internal prototypes to test out and explore new approaches
- Scientific publications and conference presentations to build new knowledge and share DNV work
- Participation in research consortiums and publicly funded projects to build knowledge
The position of Team Leader is planned at Høvik, Norway, but other DNV locations in Europe may also be considered. The Team leader reports to the Programme Director for “Digital Assurance”. The team leader will be tasked to build the Industrial Cyber Security team which is expected to be about 5-10 members.
Responsibilities of the Team Leader:
- Recruitment and people management for the team (promotions, salary, etc.)
- Set scientific and R&D direction for the team
- Engage with universities for collaborations
- Be part of the leadership team in the programme
- Contribute into the development of strategies and plans
