Fortastra
Fortastra designs and delivers resilient, high-performance spacecraft that safeguard critical orbital assets and ensure freedom of action in space. We integrate advanced autonomy, sensing, and control into systems engineered for reliability, speed, and scale. Our culture values simplicity, accountability, and disciplined execution—empowering every engineer to think systemically, act decisively, and build with purpose. Aggressive innovation. Disciplined execution.
Strength among the stars.
Team / Department You will join the Security organization, which is responsible for protecting personnel, information systems, incident response, and facility security. This team ensures the protection of critical assets while enabling rapid development in aerospace and defense technologies.
The Role The Facility Security Officer (FSO) will serve as the primary authority over all aspects of the industrial security program at Fortastra’s headquarters. This is a high‑impact role requiring strong ownership and the ability to lead with autonomy, proactively identify and address gaps, and implement meaningful, scalable improvements across personnel, physical, and program security. Rather than simply maintaining compliance, the FSO will drive continuous enhancement of security processes, working cross‑functionally to ensure alignment with both regulatory standards and Fortastra’s operational goals. We are seeking a results‑driven leader who brings initiative, sound judgment, and the confidence to influence change—this is not a role for box‑checkers, but for professionals committed to building and owning a best‑in‑class security program.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee daily operations of security programs in compliance with 32 CFR Part 117, NISPOM, SCGs, DD Form 254s, and other applicable regulations
Manage personnel security, document control, audits, self‑inspections, and security reviews
Provide security guidance and training to personnel, and continuously improve internal processes
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including Program Management, IT, Physical Security, Legal, Insider Threat, and others
Lead the planning, build‑out, and accreditation of Open Storage Areas (OSAs), restricted spaces, and classified work areas
Maintain DISS and NISS updates and integrations across all operating locations
Conduct Security Vulnerability Assessments (SVAs), generate reports, and implement corrective actions
Own facility access control systems, badge issuance, visitor control, escort procedures, and manage guard force
Deliver required training and briefings, including OPSEC, COMSEC, foreign travel, and document handling
Investigate and report on security incidents in coordination with leadership and authorities
Review and support contract security documentation such as DD 254s and security sections of proposals
Maintain and update security policies, procedures, and internal knowledge bases
Qualifications & Skills
5+ years of experience as an FSO or in a similar industrial security role
Extensive knowledge of 32 CFR Part 117, NISPOM, SCGs, DD Form 254, e‑QIP, DISS, NISS
Industrial Security Professional (ISP) certification
Background in defense, aerospace, or government contracting environments
Experience developing and maintaining security policies and training materials
Experience managing access control, classified programs, and secure communications
Familiarity with physical security systems and infrastructure planning
Impeccable organizational skills and attention to detail
Excellent communication skills; able to work independently and with cross‑functional teams
Work is on‑site, remote or hybrid arrangements will not be considered
Active TS/SCI‑eligible clearance
Why Fortastra? Join a small, high‑impact team developing the next generation of autonomous orbital control systems for national security space. At Fortastra, engineers own the full lifecycle— from concept through flight— shaping the future of trusted, resilient spacecraft autonomy.
