Intellisense Systems Inc
Intellisense Systems, Inc. is a privately held company with a proven track record of developing and deploying innovative products that successfully operate in the most extreme environments. We are a fast-growing Southern California technology innovator that solves tough, mission-critical challenges for our customers in the aerospace, defense, and commercial markets. We design, develop, and manufacture advanced products for ground, maritime, and airborne applications. We are seeking a highly motivated Senior IT Manager to lead our network infrastructure, oversee our cybersecurity compliance program, and drive the enterprise AI capability that is changing how our engineers, program managers, and back-office teams work. This is a hands-on leadership role at an inflection point: we are executing toward CMMC Level 2 while simultaneously deploying a two-tier AI architecture that lets the business move fast on unrestricted work without ever putting controlled data at risk. Our goal is to deliver excellent, responsive service to our employees and to operate a stable, secure environment worthy of the sensitive information our customers entrust to us.

- Oversee the department budget and make cost-effective decisions to meet business needs.
- Own vendor management and accountability, including cloud and managed service providers supporting controlled environments.
- Perform special IT projects and system integrations/installations that improve access to information and decrease administrative costs across the organization.
- Flexible working hours: availability to respond to urgent system needs and maintain IT services at times that minimize impact to the operation.
- Manage IT staff to achieve business results through communicating job expectations, monitoring, and coaching employees.
- Lead by example and stay hands-on in the day-to-day operation.
- Ensure our IT infrastructure (network and IT systems) will support scalability.

- Administer and scale our government-cloud AI environment (FedRAMP High / GovCloud-hosted models) approved for work involving CUI and ITAR/EAR-controlled technical data, including US-person access controls, logging, and retention.
- Enforce the routing rules that keep data in the correct tier: data-marking-driven controls, DLP policies tuned to CUI and export-controlled content, egress monitoring, and clear guardrails at the point of use.
- Partner with Security, Export Compliance, and Legal to maintain the acceptable-use policy, model and tool approval process, and audit evidence for AI systems.
- Evaluate emerging AI tooling and integrations against our compliance boundary, and give the business a fast, honest answer on what can be adopted, where, and under what conditions.
- Train and support employees so the right tier is the easy tier to use.
- Drive our path to CMMC Level 2 : maintain the System Security Plan, close POA&M items, keep our SPRS score current, and prepare the organization for assessment readiness.
- Implement and sustain the NIST SP 800-171 security requirements across our environment, working with leadership and employees to land IT changes that stick.
- Support compliance with DFARS View phone number on us.fitly.work, -7019, -7020, and -7021, including 72-hour incident reporting to DIBNet, FIPS 140-validated cryptography for CUI transmission and storage, and multifactor authentication.
- Review, update, and implement cybersecurity policies on a regular basis.
- Ensure third-party vendors, cloud service providers, and external service providers meet applicable NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS requirements; partner with Purchasing and Security on flowdown and supplier assessments.
- Support internal assessments, vulnerability scanning, tabletop exercises, and remediation tracking.
- Assist with other duties as assigned.
- Bachelor's degree (required) in MIS or an IT-related field (preferred)
- 10+ years of related technical experience
- Knowledge and experience with network administration and installation
- Extensive experience with SharePoint/Microsoft 365 administration and infrastructure
- Proven experience in IT security or compliance, with experience implementing NIST SP 800-171 controls
- Working familiarity with enterprise SaaS and cloud administration (identity, SSO, conditional access, DLP); willingness to become the company's expert on AI platform administration and governance
- Self-motivated, with strong verbal and written communication skills, a team and goal orientation, solid problem-solving ability, and the ability to work with a diverse workforce
- US Citizenship is required. Must have an active Secret security clearance or be willing and able to obtain one.
- Experience administering AI/LLM platforms in a regulated or controlled environment (FedRAMP Moderate/High, GovCloud, or a segmented CUI enclave)
- Experience with Microsoft 365 GCC High or an equivalent controlled enclave
- Familiarity with vulnerability scanning, tabletop exercises, and penetration testing
- Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CCP, or CCA
- The ability to innovate, transition a prototype technology into a new product, and to be rewarded.
- The chance to continually work on new differentiating technologies and implement simple, elegant solutions that meet customer needs and make an impact.
- Ownership of a genuinely modern problem — building the AI and compliance infrastructure that a defense manufacturer needs to compete — with executive visibility and support.
- Leadership that enables its engineers with all the tools they need to be successful.
- 4 Weeks PTO a year (including 40 hours of PTO your first day)
- 10 paid holidays
