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. You will sit with hardware, form-factor, manufacturing, deployment, federal, and security partners from concept through accreditation of the space. Where corporate facility protection overlaps a secure build, you will also set access control, intrusion detection, CPTED, and guard-force requirements as applicable. Corporate physical security is not a separate program. It is in scope only where it touches classified design, construction, or accreditation.  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.    <div> Location.
