Role Description

Armada is seeking a Physical Security – Facilities Lead to own classified design, construction, and accreditation of Galleons for the U.S. Defense sector.

• Defense customers need those units accredited as SCIFs, SAPFs, collateral open-storage or closed areas, and related secure processing environments.
• You will turn ICD 705, DoDM 5205.07, and NISPOM (32 CFR Part 117) physical construction standards into repeatable design requirements, factory and site practices, and accreditation packages that scale with the product line.
• You will be the company authority on physical security for secure builds.
• This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role.

Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship.
• Active U.S. Secret clearance required.
• Bachelor's degree and 12+ years (or Master's degree and 8+ years) in physical security, industrial security, or secure-facility construction.
• At least 5 years hands-on in design, build, and accreditation of SCIFs, SAPFs, or collateral open-storage areas.
• Demonstrated ability to apply ICD 705 Technical Specifications to construction drawings and field conditions.
• Working knowledge of 32 CFR Part 117 physical safeguards and of DoDM 5205.07 as it applies to SAPF construction and accreditation.
• Experience as the technical interface to an Accrediting Official, Cognizant Security Office, or DCSA representative through accreditation.
• Experience authoring Construction Security Plans and fixed-facility or equivalent accreditation packages.
• Ability to read construction documents and reject noncompliant details on walls, doors, penetrations, power, grounding, and electronic security systems.
• Experience with access control, intrusion detection, and alarm monitoring on accredited spaces (UL 2050 or equivalent).
• Track record of driving a build to a date with engineers, contractors, and government security staff in the same room.
• Recognized subject-matter expert who has set physical-security standards or policy for an organization.

Requirements

• Own physical construction and accreditation requirements for defense Galleons, including SCIFs and SAPFs under ICD 705.
• Translate standards into design criteria, drawing notes, BOM constraints, and factory work instructions.
• Lead security design reviews across the Galleon family.
• Define perimeter, access-control, intrusion-detection, and video requirements for secure configurations.
• Own TEMPEST and emissions-security design input.
• Specify Protected Distribution Systems where required and inspect against applicable CNSSI standards.
• Build a repeatable secure-Galleon configuration for accreditation.
• Serve as Armada’s liaison to Accrediting Officials and customer security staff.
• Author and maintain Construction Security Plans and accreditation submittals.
• Plan and run construction surveillance and quality assurance on factory and customer-site work.
• Drive accreditation from design approval through inspection and operational accreditation.
• Own the security workstream on defense Galleon programs.
• Partner with various teams to ensure security requirements are integrated into design.
• Author and maintain internal physical-security policies and standards for classified builds.

Benefits
