Principal Architect, Manufacturing Security

 Bring more to life. 

Learn about the Danaher Business System which makes everything possible.

The Principal Architect, Manufacturing Security is responsible for defining and owning Danaher's enterprise OT security architecture across its global manufacturing, lab, and R&D portfolio. This role sets the technical direction for network segmentation, IT/OT boundary design, DMZ architecture, and secure remote access across 15+ operating companies and 160+ sites worldwide. This position offers a rare opportunity to shape the cybersecurity posture of one of the most complex multi-OpCo industrial environments in the global life sciences and diagnostics industry. 

This position is part of the Corporate Information Security and will be located as Remote in Europe.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:  

• Own and evolve the enterprise OT security architecture blueprint for Danaher's global manufacturing portfolio — including network segmentation standards, tiered security zone frameworks (ISA-95/Purdue), IT/OT boundary controls, DMZ patterns, and BMS isolation strategy across 15+ operating companies 

• Lead the design and portfolio-wide adoption of secure remote access architecture aligned to the remote access platform — retiring legacy VPN and direct-vendor connections, and extending zero-trust network access to OT OEMs, contractors, and remote support vendors across all operating companies 

• Partner with the Manufacturing Security Lead and information security leadership to develop OT cybersecurity policies, architecture governance standards, and control frameworks that translate into OpCo-level implementation plans — ensuring consistency across critical sites and the broader portfolio 

• Drive the Architecture Review Board (ARB) process for OT security capabilities including micro-segmentation, Remote Access OT extension, OT monitoring tools, and industrial firewall platforms — validating technical designs before deployment and enforcing architectural standards across the portfolio 

• Provide expert OT security advisory to OpCo CIOs, site IT leads, and plant engineers — including architecture consultation for high-risk sites  and architectural oversight for the segmentation remediation program 

• Provide guidelines and standards to align to good security controls  in the enablement of digital manufacturing to  

The essential requirements of the job include:   

• Deep expertise in OT/ICS network architecture including Purdue Model/ISA-95 zone segmentation, industrial DMZ design, firewall policy for OT protocols (Modbus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, OPC-UA, BACnet), and secure remote access architecture for multi-site manufacturing environments 

• Hands-on experience designing and validating network segmentation implementations across complex, multi-site OT environments — including PLCs, DCS, SCADA, BMS, HMI, and historian systems — in life sciences, pharmaceutical, or similarly regulated manufacturing 

• Strong command of OT-specific cybersecurity frameworks including IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, CIS Controls for ICS, and CISA/NSA OT security guidance — with demonstrated experience applying these standards in a federated, multi-OpCo enterprise 

• Demonstrated experience with zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and SASE architectures (Zscaler or equivalent) in OT environments, including integration with industrial remote access protocols, vendor management workflows, and identity governance 

• 12+ years of experience in OT/ICS security, network architecture, or industrial cybersecurity, with at least 5 years in a principal architect, distinguished engineer, or equivalent senior IC capacity within a complex multi-site manufacturing environment
