Job summary

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

You will translate ICD 705, DoDM 5205.07, and NISPOM requirements into repeatable design criteria and accreditation packages. You’ll lead security design reviews across the Galleon family, set access-control and intrusion-defense standards, and coordinate with Accrediting Officials, facility security officers, and contractors from concept through

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree and 12+ years in physical security with hands-on design and accreditation.
Experience applying ICD 705 to construction drawings and field conditions.
Skill in defining perimeter, access-control, intrusion-detection, and video requirements.
Ability to read architectural/electrical drawings and redline accordingly.
Proven liaison with Accrediting Officials and DoD security staff.
Experience coordinating with contractors and government security staff.

Responsibilities

Own security construction and accreditation requirements for defense Galleons, including SCIFs and SAPFs under ICD 705 and the IC 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.
Serve as Armada’s liaison to Accrediting Officials, Special Security Officers, Facility Security Officers, DCSA Industrial Security Representatives, and customer security staff.
Plan and run construction surveillance, site inspections, and quality assurance on factory, integration, and customer-site work. Hold general contractors, integrators, and internal build teams to the CSP.
Drive accreditation from design approval through inspection, remediation, and operational accreditation. Own the punch list.
Support capture and proposal teams on DD‑254, contract security classification specifications, and physical-security volumes so bids do not promise a configuration that cannot be accredited.
