Why we read it this way (7)
The role is on-site at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Aberdeen Proving Ground falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA (12580).
An active TS/SCI clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate in the qualifications section.
MBSE is listed in the qualifications section as a required area of experience ('Experience with systems integration, MBSE methodologies, and tools such as MagicDraw and SysML is highly desirable'), but the phrasing 'highly desirable' places it in preferred territory. However, MBSE is also referenced in the responsibilities as a core duty, suggesting it is functionally required. It has been marked as required given its centrality to the role's described work; MagicDraw and SysML are marked preferred as the JD explicitly frames them as 'highly desirable.'
DoD standards and MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) are listed under 'preferred' language and are marked accordingly.
The wide salary band ($112K–$197K) likely reflects a range of experience levels the company is willing to consider, despite the 3+ year minimum stated.
The posting notes a preference for HUBZone residents but explicitly states this is not a requirement for the position.
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.
