Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Systems Engineer 2' implies a numeric level (II → Mid), but the $52,000 salary, associate-degree-or-equivalent minimum, and broadly entry-level scope of responsibilities support a Junior classification.
The role is primarily physical/electronic security systems installation and maintenance (access control, CCTV, intrusion detection) rather than pure IT systems administration, making the SOC classification a judgment call; 15-1244 was chosen as the closest fit, with 15-1299 as a reasonable alternative.
An associate degree is listed as required, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent work experience' in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated in the posting.
Access control, video management/CCTV, IP networking, and TCP/IP knowledge all appear under the 'Preferred' section and are therefore not hard gates.
