We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
Location is unspecified beyond 'on-site at a Government facility' — likely in the Washington DC/NGA area given the NGA customer, but no city or CBSA is stated in the posting. The national salary average is cited, suggesting the role could be at multiple possible sites.
The posting requires TS/SCI with the ability to obtain a Polygraph — the polygraph is not yet a hard gate at start, but TS/SCI itself is required to begin.
A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field is listed under Required, but the posting explicitly states 'equivalent experience accepted,' so no minimum degree is enforced.
This position is contingent upon contract award.
Requirements management, interface definition, and V&V are listed as required but are methodologies/practices rather than named tools; they are included here because the JD explicitly gates on demonstrated experience with each. No specific tooling (e.g., DOORS, Cameo) is named.
GEOINT experience, Agile/SAFe, and MBSE appear under the Desired section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: Systems Engineering is closest to 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) as a discipline; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the requirements analysis and interface definition focus.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements management, systems engineering.
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.
