Role summary

OPSWAT is seeking a purpose-driven Senior Solution Engineer focused on securing Operational Technology (OT) and critical infrastructure. This role involves working with customers in sectors like water, energy, and government to understand their challenges and demonstrate how OPSWAT's OT security solutions, including firewalls and access management, can protect their systems. You will manage customer expectations, deliver compelling demos and RFP responses, and provide valuable field insights to the product team. The ideal candidate has experience supporting sales in public sector or utility environments, strong presentation and demo skills, and working knowledge of OT/ICS/SCADA environments and relevant regulatory frameworks.

OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.

The Position

Are you purpose-driven? We are. At OPSWAT, our purpose is to secure the way of life we all enjoy. We focus our innovations on protecting Critical Infrastructure, including water and wastewater utilities, energy, manufacturing, nuclear facilities, and government operations. You've probably done some interesting things in your career, but how often can you say your work directly protects the systems that keep water safe and power running?

This role focuses on Operational Technology (OT) and industrial environments, including SCADA, ICS, and cyber-physical systems. You'll work with critical infrastructure operators, including water treatment facilities, where the stakes of getting security right are especially high.

As a Solution Engineer, you'll uncover customer challenges, show how OPSWAT solves them, and guide customers through operationalizing the solution. You'll maintain proficiency in OT/ICS domains, expertise in our products, and the disposition that makes customers want to partner with you for their success. You'll also have a voice with the product team, feeding back field insight that shapes future OT capabilities.

What You Will Be Doing

Work with AEs and partners to grow OPSWAT's OT and critical infrastructure business

Manage customer requirements, expectations, and solution buy-in across IT and OT stakeholders

Maintain and frequently deliver high-impact demos of OPSWAT's OT security solutions (e.g., MetaDefender Industrial Firewall, MetaDefender OT Access, endpoint and patch management for OT)

Manage, deliver, and present detailed responses to RFPs, including those from water utilities and other regulated critical infrastructure operators

Nurture partner relationships and their technical understanding of OPSWAT's OT portfolio

Speak at conferences and seminars focused on OT/ICS security and critical infrastructure protection

Conduct workshops, proof of value, and post-sale transitions on plant floors and in control room environments

What We Need From You

Experience supporting sales into state, local, or education government accounts, or water/wastewater utilities

A history of developing new and expansion business with public-sector or utility customers

Comfort leading discussions with all customer levels, from agency leadership to plant operators and IT/OT administrators

Strong presentation and demo skills

Working knowledge of OT/ICS/SCADA environments, and awareness of regulatory frameworks affecting water utilities (e.g., EPA and state cybersecurity requirements)

Familiarity with public-sector procurement and contract vehicles (e.g., GSA Schedule, SEWP, state/local contracts) a plus

Experience installing and troubleshooting enterprise or industrial applications

Problem-solving abilities; skilled at identifying and resolving customer pain points
