What this job asks for AI summary
An Industrial Systems Engineer role supporting an Executive Fleet aerospace program at a San Antonio factory, staffed through a 12+ month contract. The work centers on building and maintaining precedence networks, constraint-based production scheduling, capacity and bottleneck analysis, and data-driven operating/recovery plans. The role suits an engineer with hands-on factory planning experience who can apply mathematical modeling, simulation, and programming to keep a complex production line on schedule.

Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

Why we read it this way (9)
The posting lists Python, SAS, VBA, and SQL together under 'Must-have qualifications' as examples of programming languages ('such as'), meaning the hard gate is programming proficiency itself rather than any single language. Python and SQL are captured as required; SAS and VBA are also listed but treated as alternatives/preferred given the 'such as' framing — however, all four are named in a requirements section.
Security clearance: the JD states candidates must be U.S. citizens with 'the ability to obtain' a clearance, not that an active clearance is required. This is treated as a Secret-level gate (ability to obtain) given the aerospace/defense context; the exact level is not specified.
Aurora scheduling tools and IVT/Redars appear under 'Preferred experience' and are marked accordingly.
Lean principles appear in the must-have section but are framed as 'familiarity with … (certifications preferred)', making them a soft gate; marked as preferred.
The role is explicitly non-managerial and non-lead, supporting the Mid seniority classification despite the 2–5 year experience range.
SOC classification is a judgment call: the role blends industrial engineering (production scheduling, capacity analysis, process optimization) with operations research methods (mathematical modeling, simulation, statistics, critical-chain analysis). 15-2031 Operations Research Analysts is the best fit; 15-1299 is noted as a secondary option.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): lean principles.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
