Security Solutions Architect

EchoStar requires robust security across its digital ecosystem to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access, supply chain exposure, and identity exploitation. This role addresses these vulnerabilities by establishing a secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework and deploying a Zero Trust Architecture across corporate and vendor environments. Key challenges include eliminating authentication friction, controlling lateral movement within networks, and continuously measuring security control effectiveness against evolving threat vectors. The role ensures alignment across IT, compliance, and business units while implementing scalable cybersecurity defenses.

• Implement a Zero Trust Architecture utilizing identity-driven user and network segmentation to restrict unauthorized lateral movement across corporate networks
• Establish data-driven metrics to evaluate the operational effectiveness of production IAM controls and proactively remediate identified deficiencies
• Integrate AI-driven threat detection tools and automation into the identity and access control stack to enhance behavioral anomaly detection and incident response capabilities
• Lead security intake processes for new enterprise initiatives, defining technical IAM and security architecture requirements to ensure seamless control integration into new deployments

• Strong skills in enterprise IAM architecture, privileged access management, and Zero Trust design principles, including user- and network-level segmentation controls
• Ability to analyze Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) frameworks to anticipate identity-based attack vectors and proactively update security architectures against emerging vulnerabilities
• Problem solving in utilizing vulnerability assessment tools, penetration testing methodologies, and automated control verification platforms to remediate access vulnerabilities
• AI Application in leveraging AI-driven security operations and tooling to automate identity threat research and technical risk identification
• Decision making and cross-functional leadership to align complex IAM and cybersecurity engineering requirements with corporate business objectives

• Exposure to threat modeling, secure architecture design, or enterprise security audits within large-scale network infrastructure environments

Candidates must be willing to participate in at least one in-person interview.
