What this job asks for AI summary
An embedded systems engineering role focused on defining and maintaining architecture models for subsystem packages that combine hardware, firmware, and software. Day-to-day work spans producing block diagrams and interface documents, managing configuration baselines in MBSE tools, and tracking embedded performance metrics such as processing latency and power consumption. Suited to a cleared engineer with a background in aerospace or defense systems integration who is comfortable working fully on-site in a classified environment.

Why we read it this way (10)
The role is classified under Lockheed Martin's 'Software Engineering' career area but is fundamentally a systems/embedded integration engineering role — the primary day-to-day work is architecture modeling, interface management, and KPI tracking for embedded hardware-software packages, which maps most closely to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211). 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up given the specialized embedded/MBSE nature.
Cameo Systems Modeler is explicitly named in the required responsibilities section ('Own configuration management of package architecture models using Cameo Systems Modeler (or equivalent MBSE tool)'), making it a hard gate; 'or equivalent' means the specific tool is interchangeable, captured via alternatives.
The clearance gate is nuanced: the Basic Qualifications require an active or recently held Secret clearance, but the Clearance Level field states 'Top Secret' and the JD says the candidate must be able to obtain and maintain TS or higher. TopSecret is used as the required clearance level.
The salary range quoted ($109,200–$192,510) applies specifically to California, Massachusetts, New York (excluding major metros), Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC; other states may differ. No single CBSA is specified — the posting is a general Lockheed Martin Space requisition without a named facility location.
Configuration management tools (CM2, JIRA, DOORS) appear under Desired Skills; JIRA is used as the primary name with CM2 and DOORS as alternatives since they serve the same CM function in this context.
CAD/ECAD tools (Altium, Mentor, Cadence) are listed under Desired Skills; Altium is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
MATLAB and Simulink are listed together under Desired Skills modeling & simulation; they are distinct tools and emitted separately, each with the other as an alternative since either alone could satisfy the modeling requirement.
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) design experience and VCRM methodologies appear under Desired Skills; HAL is captured as a named technology concept; VCRM is a methodology and omitted per guidelines.
MIL-STD-498 and IEEE-828 are listed together as equivalent configuration-management standards under Desired Skills; emitted as one skill with the other as alternative.
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.
