Secure Manufacturing & Stealth Investigator

Responsibilities

• Lead complex SMS investigations to proactively identify and mitigate risks to unreleased products, prototypes, confidential hardware, secure manufacturing programs, and launch-readiness efforts.
• Investigate unauthorized disclosure, suspected leaks, insider risk, supplier compromise, vendor misconduct, theft, diversion, tampering, counterfeiting, surveillance, adversarial collection, and suspicious activity involving sensitive programs.
• Connect digital evidence, physical access activity, supply chain records, manufacturing data, vendor behavior, employee activity, collaboration metadata, procurement records, shipping data, and OSINT into clear findings and risk-reduction actions.
• Conduct proactive threat hunting to surface early indicators of compromise, collection, leakage, or insider activity affecting sensitive programs.
• Develop investigative playbooks, evidence-handling standards, escalation paths, reporting mechanisms, and recurring-risk feedback loops tailored to secure manufacturing and stealth environments.

Requirements

• 8+ years of investigative experience in corporate security, insider risk, supply chain security, counterintelligence, cyber investigations, manufacturing security, or related domains.
• Experience supporting sensitive programs, secure manufacturing environments, hardware programs, R&D environments, classified or restricted-access programs, or high-value intellectual property protection.
• Proven ability to independently lead complex end-to-end investigations across cyber, physical, operational, human, and external partner domains with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of insider threat, supply chain risk, vendor risk, information leakage, physical security investigations, and adversarial collection methods.
• Ability to analyze disparate evidence sources, including physical access records, visitor logs, device logs, endpoint telemetry, collaboration tools, procurement records, shipping records, manufacturing workflows, vendor documentation, communications metadata, and OSINT.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, especially with Legal, HR, Engineering, Procurement, Supply Chain, Physical Security, Cybersecurity, IT, and external partners.
