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. This role is centered on system design and architecture, not administration or operational support. The selected candidate will be responsible for following SDL’s Information System Engineering procedure to translate mission and customer needs into well-engineered system designs that can be confidently implemented and operated.

Responsibilities include working with stakeholders to identify and document customer requirements, security and compliance obligations, and relevant industry best practices, then translating those inputs into well-architected information system designs. The selected candidate will understand how systems progress through the full lifecycle, from proposal and concept through design, implementation, and operational deployment, and will evaluate architectural alternatives and produce clear engineering artifacts that guide implementation teams in building solutions that meet defined requirements.

This is an on-site, non-remote position for our North Logan, UT location.

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

Key Responsibilities:

Designs complex, highly available information systems and supports their implementation to ensure mission success
Provides 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
Gathers and synthesizes system requirements from internal and external customers defining operational requirements including integration with other systems or components
Works 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
Acts as a multi‑disciplined engineer that serves as a subject matter expert for network, compute, storage, directory services, hypervisors, and cloud systems
Demonstrates a strong understanding of physical network infrastructure, including both copper and fiber systems
Follows all applicable SDL engineering processes
Assists in enhancing current engineering processes
Serves as a peer reviewer for complex information systems designs
Responsible for engineering documentation of assigned systems and solutions
Evaluates vendor capabilities to provide required products or services
Conducts research on emerging products, services, protocols, and standards
Provides technical expertise on projects and proposal efforts
Provides 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.)
System cost estimates
Trade and alternative studies
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 talk through 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,…
