Why we read it this way (6)
This posting covers two levels simultaneously: Associate Systems Engineer (Bachelor's required, salary $65,800–$98,800) and Systems Engineer (Master's required, salary $79,300–$118,900). The compensation range shown spans both levels. The minimum degree requirement of Bachelor's applies to the Associate level; the Systems Engineer level hard-requires a Master's degree.
The role is aerospace/propulsion Systems Engineering — not a computer/mathematical occupation in the traditional sense. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest available SOC code given the systems engineering lifecycle work (requirements analysis, architecture, integration, test), but the fit is imperfect; this role is primarily an engineering discipline role (Aerospace/Mechanical/Systems Engineering).
No clearance is required to start, but candidates must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance and Special Access Program access — these are conditions of employment, not a pre-existing clearance gate.
MBSE tools (Cameo) and requirements management tools (DOORS) appear only under Preferred Qualifications, as does AI/Automation experience.
The salary range displayed ($0.00–$0.00) for 'Primary/Secondary Level' in the posting appears to be a placeholder; the real ranges are stated in the body text and are used here.
Promontory, UT is a rural location within the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA.
