What this job asks for AI summary
An embedded systems engineering role on Lockheed Martin's Fleet Ballistic Missile program, focused on requirements writing and verification for package-level systems such as batteries and power systems. Day-to-day work spans functional analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition across the full product lifecycle. Suits engineers with a background in systems engineering, requirements management tools, and ideally some familiarity with Navy or submarine programs; an active Secret clearance is required at hire.

Why we read it this way (9)
The posting does not specify a work location city beyond 'a designated Lockheed Martin facility'; the salary range references multiple states (CA, MA, NY, CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NJ, VT, WA, DC), so no single CBSA could be determined.
An active Secret clearance is required at start, with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance — the effective gate is Top Secret.
Systems Engineering (requirements, verification, systems integration) is listed under Basic Qualifications with 'some experience required,' making it a hard gate despite the junior framing; all other technical skills appear only under Desired Skills.
DOORS and DOORS Next are listed together as alternatives for a requirements management tool; the broader category ('or other requirement management tool') signals the specific product is interchangeable.
The role is classified as 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) rather than a pure software or hardware engineering code because the primary day-to-day work is requirements writing, verification, validation, functional analysis, and interface definition — systems analysis work — rather than building or coding embedded software. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the embedded/hardware systems context.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated; 'some Engineering or technical experience required' is deliberately vague, supporting a Mid-level band rather than Junior (given the 'Experienced Professional' career area label) or Senior (no firm scope indicators).
The advertised title carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering.
Requires a Top 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.
