Lead security and compliance programs including CMMC Level 2 certification and build security team at AI-native robotics manufacturing company.

О компании

is building an AI-native robotics manufacturing company focused on deploying advanced assembly and production capability for leading robotics companies and national-security-critical hardware. Basically, we're building robots that build robots.
We are reimagining manufacturing through advanced robotics. Our mission is to rebuild the American manufacturing industry as an AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use contract manufacturer. We aim to empower manufacturers with intelligent, efficient, and adaptable robotic systems that redefine productivity and quality. As a founding member of our engineering team, you will have a direct and significant impact on our product, culture, and ultimate success. This role is 100% in-person at our office in the mission, SF.

Обязанности

We're hiring our first Head of Security to own the full security and compliance program end to end, from achieving CMMC Level 2 certification ahead of our November 2026 deadline, to building and leading the security function as we grow. You'll be the accountable owner for how Foundry protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), export-controlled technical data, and customer IP across our edge, on-prem, and cloud infrastructure. This is a builder role. You'll set strategy, do hands-on work in the early days, and hire a team behind you.

Требования

• Understanding of national security facility requirements.
• Previous/current Experience as a Facility Security Officer.
• Proven track record taking an organization through CMMC Level 2 or NIST SP 800-171 assessment ,ideally end to end, at least once.
• Deep, hands-on knowledge of DFARS, CUI handling, and ITAR/EAR export controls.
• Strong security engineering foundation: identity, endpoint, network, and cloud (AWS) security, you can architect and, early on, implement.
• Experience building or scaling a security function at a startup or fast-growing company.
• U.S. person status (required for ITAR-controlled work).
• Comfort operating with high autonomy and ambiguity in a ~30-person startup.

Будет плюсом

• SOC 2 and AS9100 experience.
• Manufacturing, defense, aerospace, or hardware-adjacent background.
• Familiarity with securing edge/robotics or ML/GPU infrastructure.
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, CCP/CCA, etc.).

This is one of the only places where world-class manufacturing operators, mechanical engineers, robotics researchers, and software engineers sit in the same room, building production systems together.
We are committed to being deeply embedded in the U.S. industrial base. Our focus is simple: build adaptive robotic assembly systems that make American manufacturing scalable, resilient, and competitive again.
The base salary range for this full-time position in the location of San Francisco is:

• Drive CMMC Level 2 certification to completion — scoping, SSP/POA&M ownership, evidence collection, and managing the C3PAO assessment (we're already evaluating firms like Schellman, A-LIGN, and CBIZ Pivot Point).
• Own our NIST SP 800-171 / DFARS 252.204-7012 posture and continuous compliance.
• Stand up and administer our ITAR/EAR export-control program — technical data segregation, access controls for
U.S. persons, deemed-export policies.
• Maintain AS9100 and SOC 2 alignment in coordination with quality and operations.
Security engineering & operations
• Own identity, endpoint, and network security across our stack (JumpCloud MDM, CrowdStrike EDR, Google/1Password, Cloudflare, AWS, Tailscale).
• Define and enforce CUI boundary architecture across edge (Jetson/Orin), on-prem (GPU cluster), and cloud (AWS).
• Own our Incident Response Plan and serve in the IRT; run tabletop exercises and lead real incidents.
• Vendor/third-party risk management, including ITAR/CMMC-aware external partner collaborations.
• Build the security roadmap and budget; make build-vs-buy calls decisively.
• Hire, mentor, and lead a security team (GRC, security engineering).
• Partner with engineering, IT, and leadership to make security a default, not a blocker.
