Responsibilities

Armada is seeking a Physical Security – Facilities Lead to own classified design, construction, and accreditation of Galleons for the U.S. Defense sector.
Galleons are built, configured, shipped, and stood up in months, not years. 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.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role. You will write the standard, walk the line, brief the Accrediting Official, and close the findings. You will exercise independent judgment on problems without precedent, be accountable for results across Armada's secure-build function, and direct the work of contractors, integrators, and cross-functional partners without having direct reports.
Location. United States (Remote). Travel to U.S. factory, integration, and customer sites as needed to support design reviews, construction surveillance, and accreditation.
Classified design and construction standards
Own physical construction and accreditation requirements for defense Galleons, including SCIFs and SAPFs under ICD 705 and the ICS 705 Technical Specifications, SAPFs under DoDM 5205.07, and collateral open-storage, closed, and discussion areas under 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM).
Translate those standards into design criteria, drawing notes, BOM constraints, and factory work instructions that hardware, mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams can build to.
Lead security design reviews across the Galleon family. Read and redline architectural, structural, electrical, and low-voltage drawings against ICD 705, TEMPEST, and NISPOM.
Define perimeter, access-control, intrusion-detection, and video requirements for secure configurations, including door, lock, and wall assemblies, STC and acoustic performance, and inspectable materials.
Own TEMPEST and emissions-security design input. Set red/black separation, shielding, filtering, grounding, and penetration criteria, and coordinate countermeasure reviews with customer TEMPEST authorities.
Specify Protected Distribution Systems where a Galleon or site requires them and inspect against the applicable CNSSI standard.
Build a repeatable secure-Galleon configuration so accreditation is a productized path, not a one-off for every build.
