Meet the Team
Splunk's Industry Solutions Engineering organization is building deep, vertical-specific technical expertise into our go-to-market motion! As an Industry Solutions Engineer for Manufacturing, you will be the technical authority on how Splunk's AI-powered security and observability platform addresses the specific IT/OT convergence, production resiliency, supply chain, and industrial security challenges facing discrete and process manufacturers. Partner with account teams, industry sales leaders, and customers to translate manufacturing-specific operational and security requirements into differentiated technical solutions and win strategies. This is a high-visibility, individual-contributor role reporting into the Industry Solutions Engineering organization, working closely with core Solutions Engineering, industry go-to-market leadership, and product teams.
Your Impact
Serve as the lead technical expert on Manufacturing use cases, including OT/ICS security, production line uptime, supply chain visibility, quality/safety incident response, and IT/OT convergence.
Design and deliver tailored demonstrations, proofs of value (POVs), and reference architectures that map Splunk's platform to manufacturing environments, including SCADA, PLC, MES, and industrial IoT data sources.
Drive AI adoption and internal tooling initiatives to automate and optimize order processing, invoicing, sourcing, fraud detection, product ordering, and warehousing.
Architect and demonstrate seamless SAP integration (including SAP S/4HANA, SAP Integration Suite, and SAP BTP) to connect plant-floor operations with back-office systems.
Act as the voice of the Manufacturing vertical back into product management, influencing the roadmap based on customer, safety, and regulatory trends (e.g., NIST 800-82, IEC 62443) while leveraging Agentic AI, LLMs, and RAG for predictive maintenance and supply chain resilience.
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of experience in a pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting role, with significant time spent supporting manufacturing or industrial customers.
Experience with OT/ICS environments (SCADA, PLCs, MES) and the IT/OT convergence security and monitoring challenges they create.
Experience with security operations (SIEM/SOAR), observability, or industrial monitoring platforms, with a foundation in data modeling and pipelines.
Experience integrating enterprise systems, specifically SAP ecosystems (SAP S/4HANA, SAP Integration Suite, or SAP BTP), with back-office and operational workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience working inside a manufacturing company, industrial OEM, or OT security vendor, with familiarity in supply chain risk, product lifecycle, and industrial safety practices.
Ability to build trust with senior technical and operational stakeholders, using excellent presentation and whiteboarding skills to communicate complex technical details and executive-level business narratives.
Relevant industry certifications (e.g., GICSP, CISSP, Splunk Core Certified Power User/Architect) and familiarity with frameworks like IEC 62443 and NIST 800-82.
Experience with asset discovery and network monitoring tools purpose-built for OT environments, alongside Industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies.
Success in driving AI adoption, utilizing Agentic AI, LLMs, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to build internal tooling and automate business processes.
