Why we read it this way (7)
The posting references 'Power VI' as a digital engineering tool — this is most likely a typo or informal reference to Power BI (Microsoft Power BI); it has been captured as 'Power BI' accordingly.
The posting lists DNG, MagicDraw, and Power BI under 'Working knowledge of digital engineering tools' within the required qualifications block, so they are treated as hard gates despite the 'working knowledge' framing.
U.S. Citizenship (with STAR ID) is explicitly required but is not a security clearance — no clearance is gated in this posting.
The posting does not specify a work location city explicitly, but the role supports NASA's SLS program and the Systems Design & Definition Branch (EV72), which is based at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL — the CBSA has been set accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided; the posting references an internal grade code ('ES3') only.
SOC classification is uncertain: the role is primarily systems engineering for a space launch vehicle, which sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the broader Systems Engineers category. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code given the systems engineering and integration focus; 15-1211 is the runner-up.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Requirements Management, Verification & Validation Planning.
