What this job asks for AI summary
This role involves supporting the development and sustainment of the U.S. Navy's Aegis Weapons System through modeling and simulation work. Day-to-day responsibilities center on technical analysis of simulation datasets, infrared and optical signature modeling, verification and validation activities, and scripting for automation. It suits early-career engineers with a STEM background and familiarity with missile flight characteristics, hard-body heating, and simulation tools such as Python or MATLAB.
Junior level · 2+ years · Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD · Secret clearance · Full-time

Why we read it this way (9)
The role is Modeling & Simulation Systems Engineering for the U.S. Navy Aegis Weapons System — a domain-specific engineering/analysis role that sits closest to 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other); 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems analysis and V&V work.
The experience requirement is stated as a range: 2–4 years with a BS, or 0–2 years with a Master's. The minimum (2 years BS / 0 years MS) and the overall scope support a Junior-to-early-Mid level; the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the BS-track minimum).
The degree is listed as 'preferred' ('Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM discipline preferred'), so no hard degree requirement is set.
Clearance level is not explicitly named (e.g., Secret vs. Top Secret); the JD says 'ability to obtain and maintain a government clearance.' Given the Navy/Aegis defense context, Secret is the most likely minimum, but the exact level is unspecified in the posting.
Scripting/automation languages (Python, Bash, MATLAB) are listed in the required section as 'such as' alternatives — one of these is a hard gate; Python is used as the primary name with Bash and MATLAB as alternatives.
Agile/Scrum/Kanban and Optical Signatures Code (OSC) appear only under Preferred Requirements.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Infrared signature analysis.
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.
