Information Systems Engineer Job North Logan Utah USA,Engineering

Position Overview

Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) is seeking an Information Systems Engineer to design secure, mission‑focused information systems and the applications, services, and components that support them. The role is centered on system design and architecture, not administration or operational support. The selected candidate will follow SDL's Information System Engineering procedure to translate mission and customer needs into well‑engineered system designs that can be confidently implemented and operated.

This is an on‑site, non‑remote position at our North Logan, UT location.

** Candidates must be U.S. citizens. SDL does not provide visa sponsorship for employment.**

Key Responsibilities

Design complex, highly available information systems and support their implementation to ensure mission success.
Provide clear, detailed guidance on selecting and implementing the most efficient solutions to meet business needs, including future capacity, facility requirements (such as floor layout, power, cooling, and pathways), network connectivity, data storage, backup, and monitoring.
Gather and synthesize system requirements from internal and external customers, defining operational requirements including integration with other systems or components.
Work with cross‑functional teams to convert requirements into complete, workable system solutions that account for technical, schedule, and cost constraints, while also evaluating and recommending viable alternatives.
Act as a multi‑disciplined engineer and subject matter expert for network, compute, storage, directory services, hypervisors, and cloud systems.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of physical network infrastructure, including both copper and fiber systems.
Follow all applicable SDL engineering processes.
Assist in enhancing current engineering processes.
Serve as a peer reviewer for complex information systems designs.
Responsible for engineering documentation of assigned systems and solutions.
Evaluate vendor capabilities to provide required products or services.
Conduct research on emerging products, services, protocols, and standards.
Provide technical expertise on projects and proposal efforts.
Provide expertise in defining and implementing best practices to meet or exceed mission needs.

Expected Outputs (as needed)

Requirements decomposition
System designs and diagrams
Rack elevation
Data/Power interconnect
Network architecture
Facility requirements (floor plan, power, cooling, etc.)

Work breakdown structures
Customer responsibility matrix
Risk analysis matrix and risk management plan
System architecture diagrams (logical and physical)
Security architecture and boundary definitions
Cloud reference architectures

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in related engineering science and 10+ years of relevant experience.
5+ years relevant experience architecting, designing, and engineering information systems – candidate will be asked to discuss these experiences.
The ideal candidate is proactive, self‑directed, and motivated to take ownership of system design challenges.
Demonstrated experience designing and integrating enterprise infrastructure systems including networking, systems, cyber, and/or cloud technologies.
Must demonstrate expertise in networking and/or cloud infrastructures, including relevant certifications.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to perform engineering trade‑offs between customer requirements, schedule deadlines, program funding, and engineering best practices.
Ability to work effectively in a team environment on collaborative efforts involving both internal and external team members.
Competent in managing budgets and schedule.
Must be a U.S. citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.
Must be able to travel, though not a normal expectation.
