North Logan, US · Full-time · $116,000 – $175,000

About this role

Space Dynamics Laboratory seeks an Information Systems Engineer to design secure, mission-focused information systems and supporting applications for space and national security missions. This role centers on system design and architecture, not administration, translating mission needs into well-engineered designs using SDL’s procedures. Candidates shape innovative solutions across technically challenging projects.

Work with stakeholders to identify customer requirements, security obligations, and industry best practices, then translate them into well-architected designs. Understand systems through the full lifecycle from proposal to operational deployment. Evaluate architectural alternatives and produce clear engineering artifacts to guide implementation teams.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to convert requirements into complete solutions accounting for technical, schedule, and cost constraints. Serve as a subject matter expert for AWS cloud systems and peer reviewer for complex designs. Follow and assist in enhancing SDL engineering processes at the on-site North Logan, UT location.

Conduct research on emerging products, services, protocols, and standards to provide technical expertise on projects and proposals. Define and implement best practices to meet or exceed mission needs. Contribute to high-impact missions through detailed outputs like system designs, network architecture, and risk management plans.
