Co-op building an IT/OT security program for LILA's autonomous science facilities, covering OT asset discovery, vulnerability prioritization, and SIEM integration. Work spans IT, Lab IT, and OT, with artifacts meant to remain operational after the term. Requires TCP/IP networking knowledge, Windows/Linux command line, and Python or PowerShell scripting.
Your Impact at LILA
Lila runs autonomous science facilities — labs full of instruments, robotics, and controllers that produce the experimental data that is the company's core IP. Securing that environment is a different problem from securing laptops and SaaS, and we are building the program from the ground up. This co-op works on that build, not on the side of it.
The role sits at the seam between IT, Lab IT, and OT, spanning four workstreams: OT asset visibility and tooling, vulnerability and patch management across IT/OT, SOC integration and threat intelligence, and program build. The work product outlives the term.
What we are looking for is someone curious enough to trace a problem end to end without being handed the answer, and persistent enough to stay with it when the architecture is not documented anywhere. We will teach the OT domain. We cannot teach that.
