You will be responsible for safeguarding our most valuable assets: our people and our intellectual property.

This position will be located at the Hawthrone office, with the expectation of moving to El Segundo later in the year.

Conduct regular and random "human sensor" patrols of the facility interior and perimeter, ensuring all sensitive areas (including SCIF-adjacent spaces) are secure.
Serve as the on-site lead for medical emergencies, fire alarms, and security breaches. You must be prepared to implement Defend-In-Place (DIP) protocols and coordinate with local law enforcement.
Enforce "Clean Desk" and "Clear Screen" policies. Monitor for unauthorized photography or data mishandling in production areas.
