Co-Op,LabIT/OTSecurityEngineer

Your Impact at LILA The Lab IT/OT Security Engineer Co-Op supports administration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of computing infrastructure inside Lila Sciences' laboratory environments. The role works at the layer that sits between corporate IT and operational technology: workstations, edge compute, lab-area networking, and instrument-adjacent systems that keep autonomous science running. Reporting to the Senior Director, OT Operations, the Co-Op works closely with the OT network architecture team, corporate IT operations, and laboratory operations. The right candidate is curious and disciplined, comfortable in a complex research environment, and interested in how technology intersects with lab automation and security. This is a real operational role within Lila's IT/OT convergence program, not a shadow-and-observe assignment. The Co-Op contributes directly to asset management, device standardization, documentation, and day-to-day lab IT support while building exposure to OT security tooling and practices that are rare at this level. What You'll Be Building Administer and troubleshoot lab-area workstations, edge compute, and dedicated lab-network infrastructure under guidance from senior engineers. Resolve Lab IT incidents and service requests through the enterprise ITSM platform, prioritizing experiments in progress and time-sensitive scientific work. Provide IT-side support for laboratory instruments and automated platforms, including networking, agent deployment, and configuration alignment. Maintain and improve Lab IT asset records in the enterprise CMDB: device tier, owner, location, configuration baseline, and lifecycle state. Contribute to the standardized device catalog and golden image program; assist with secure onboarding of new laboratory instruments. Support OT network operations alongside the network team, including connectivity troubleshooting, post-cutover validation, and segmentation drift checks. Document Lab IT standards, procedure
