The position is a second-shift, 9/80 schedule role in Salt Lake City.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'Specialist, Systems Engineer (Test)' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 4-year minimum experience requirement (with a degree) supports a Mid-level classification.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is hardware/systems test engineering in a defense manufacturing context, not software QA. 15-1253 (QA Analysts and Testers) is the closest available code for a test-engineering function; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the systems engineering framing.
A security clearance is listed as 'desired' in Essential Functions and under Preferred Additional Skills — it is not a hard gate for hiring. The posting notes many positions require the ability to obtain a clearance, but this role does not explicitly require one.
The degree requirement accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree (8 years without a degree), so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting names almost no concrete technologies — only MS Office appears, listed under Preferred/soft skills. The skills list is therefore minimal by necessity, not by extraction error.
