Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Systems Engineer II' maps to a Mid-level role (the 'II' suffix). The 2+ years experience requirement and scope of work (team-level tool development, no org-wide authority) also support Mid.
SOC classification is a judgment call: the role is primarily building internal manufacturing execution system applications (C#/.NET, Blazor, SQL), which points to 15-1252 Software Developers. However, the 'Systems Engineer' title and emphasis on requirements gathering, cross-functional collaboration, and manufacturing process support also carry a 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts flavor — hence the alt code.
The development skills (C#/.NET, Blazor, CSS, SQL, MS SQL, SQLite, Denodo, LINQ, Git, Azure DevOps, CI/CD) appear verbatim in BOTH the Required and Preferred sections. Because they are listed under the Required section first, they are treated as hard gates. Their reappearance under Preferred appears to be a formatting artifact.
Python scripting appears only under the Preferred section and is listed as preferred accordingly.
A DoD Interim Secret clearance is required to start; the posting explicitly states TS/SCI or polygraph is NOT required, so the clearance requirement is set to Secret.
The degree requirement states a BS or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required, with no 'or equivalent experience' substitution offered at the degree level (only higher degrees substitute for years of experience), so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
The role is fully on-site five days per week in Westminster, CO (Denver metro area).
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.
