Why we read it this way (9)
This role is on-site at a Government facility supporting NGA; the posting does not name a specific city, but NGA's primary facilities are in the Washington DC metro area (Springfield, VA / St. Louis, MO). The DC CBSA is used as the most likely primary location.
The position is contingent on contract award.
A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field is listed as required, but the JD explicitly states 'equivalent experience accepted,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
TS/SCI is a hard gate; the ability to obtain a CI Polygraph is listed under Desired (preferred), not required.
The salary range ($69,100–$141,500/year) is described as a national average across multiple possible locations, so actual compensation may vary significantly by site.
Requirements analysis, interface documentation, and V&V are named as concrete required competencies but reference no specific named tool or platform; they are retained as skills because they represent distinct, named engineering disciplines central to this role.
MBSE tools/practices appear only under Desired with 'familiarity with' framing.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): interface documentation.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
