What this job asks for AI summary
A systems engineering role at Lockheed Martin focused on early-phase development activities — concept definition, requirements elicitation, and system design — for the Missile Defense System. The position leads MBSE modeling, interface development (ICDs/IDDs), and stakeholder engagement with the MDA customer, working within agile teams on complex defense programs. Candidates with missile defense or space domain awareness backgrounds are strongly preferred.

Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists no specific degree requirement — only experience-based qualifications are stated.
A final Secret clearance is explicitly required; the role is onsite at a Lockheed Martin facility with no remote option.
The salary range quoted ($128,400–$226,435/year) applies specifically to California, Massachusetts, New York (excluding major metros), Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC; other locations may differ.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and systems analysis for a defense program, which sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other — the best fit for MBSE/systems engineering) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). No single SOC cleanly captures defense systems engineering.
Cameo (MSOSA) and DOORS appear only under Desired Skills and are marked preferred accordingly, though Cameo is also referenced in the required MBSE proficiency statement — the required gate is on MBSE broadly, with Cameo cited as an example tool.
The posting is listed as a Task Order/IDIQ contract vehicle, though the employment type for the individual is described as full-time.
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.
