Why we read it this way (9)
The role title is 'software engineer' but the actual day-to-day work is systems engineering: requirements decomposition (L1/A to L2/B Spec), verification & validation, design reviews, trade studies, and MBSE — not software development. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest available code; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the defense/systems-engineering flavor.
Location is unspecified in the posting; Lockheed Martin's EADGE-T program is associated with multiple dispersed sites. The salary range cited covers several named states (CA, MA, NY, CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NJ, VT, WA, DC) but no single primary location is identified.
The role is part-time remote telework (hybrid), not fully remote.
OCONUS travel ability is a hard gate listed under Basic Qualifications but names no specific technology or tool, so it is not captured as a skill.
DOORS Next appears both in the body of the JD (as the tool used) and under Desired Skills; it is treated as preferred because it is explicitly listed under the 'Desired Skills' heading, while the broader DOORS/requirements-management-tool requirement is a hard gate.
SysML and Cameo are listed under Desired Skills ('e.g., SysML, Cameo') and are therefore preferred.
The compensation range ($109,200–$192,510/year) is stated as applicable to specific named states; the actual range for other locations may differ.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): trade studies / analysis of alternatives.
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.
