What this job asks for AI summary
A systems engineering role focused on nuclear microreactor development, responsible for managing requirements from initial design through decommissioning. The work involves coordinating across mechanical, nuclear licensing, quality, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet safety, reliability, and regulatory standards — including ASME codes and failure mode analyses. Best suited to engineers with experience in regulated industries such as nuclear, aerospace, or automotive.
Mid level · 4+ years · Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA · Bachelor's required · TS/SCI clearance · Full-time

Why we read it this way (8)
This is a Systems/Reliability Engineering role in the nuclear/aerospace hardware domain — it is not a computer or mathematical occupation. The closest SOC is 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) as a catch-all, but non-technology is arguably the more honest classification; the role is essentially an industrial/mechanical systems engineer. Confidence is Low for this reason.
The JD requires the ability to 'obtain a Top Secret or Top Secret SCI clearance' — this is framed as a gate ('ability to obtain'), so TopSecretSci is applied.
The only named software tools appear under 'Preferred Skills': Weibull analysis software, Minitab, and FMEA/FMECA tools — all marked preferred accordingly.
ASME codes and FMEA/FMECA familiarity are listed under 'Preferred Skills & Experience', so they are not hard gates despite being domain-relevant.
The 4+ years of experience requirement is stated at the role level with no specific technology attached, so it is captured as the overall years minimum.
A Master's degree in Engineering is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's in Engineering.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Weibull analysis.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
