Entry-Level Systems Engineer

Job ID: 3968

The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) C4ISR Systems Division is seeking an entry-level Systems Engineer. The selected individual will work on a UARC team supporting the United States Government acquisition for the Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) System and other Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) programs. Sentinel will be the nation’s newest system providing strategic land-based nuclear deterrence. This position works closely with various government teams to enable collaboration in assessment of the prime contractor’s current design, researching alternative approaches, and providing technical documentation to support decisions that align with defense industry’s best practices, and sound systems engineering principles. SDL creates novel solutions that impact national defense in space, air, land, and sea. If you enjoy challenging design problems, then we want you to join our team.

This position will be in Ogden or Logan, UT. (Ogden is preferred with occasional travel to Logan.)

The Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Systems Division delivers mission-critical solutions, specializing in cyber operations, information architecture, strategic deterrence, and ISR.
