What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level systems engineering role supporting intelligence production and collection services within a systems-of-systems environment. The work spans the full engineering lifecycle, including requirements, test management, and defect tracking, in Agile, DevSecOps, or hybrid settings. Suited to candidates with substantial government or industry experience and an active TS/SCI clearance.
Senior level · 8+ years · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · Bachelor's required · TS/SCI clearance
Advertised as Mid, but the requirements read as Senior.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is titled 'Mid-Level' but the requirements — 8+ years of overall experience, 4+ years each across the SE lifecycle, test management/defect tracking, and intelligence production/collection — are consistent with a Senior-level role on a normal career ladder.
SOA/cloud environments and PPBES are listed under a 'Familiarity with' framing, placing them as preferred rather than hard gates.
NGA experience, DoD/IC acquisition background, and Microsoft Project/Scheduler are explicitly called out as 'Bonus points,' so they are preferred.
The role is located in Springfield and/or Chantilly, VA — both fall within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is titled 'Systems Engineer' and spans requirements engineering, test management, and lifecycle work in a government/IC context, which maps most closely to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211); 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible runner-up given the systems-of-systems and DoD/IC framing.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering lifecycle, test management.
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.
