What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level systems engineering role within an ISR and aviation-focused business unit, supporting requirements engineering, systems integration, verification and validation, and model-based systems engineering. The position involves system and decision analysis, technical planning, and risk management, with some responsibility for leading smaller project tasks. It suits engineers with a couple of years of experience who are comfortable working across multi-disciplinary teams on aerospace or defense programs.

Why we read it this way (6)
The job title 'Systems Engineer II' maps to a 'II' numeric level, indicating a Mid-level role, consistent with the 2+ years experience requirement and 'intermediate tasks' framing.
The clearance notice references the DCSA background check process and requires US citizenship/permanent residency for trade regulation compliance, but does not explicitly gate on holding or obtaining a specific security clearance level — clearance set to None.
A Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field is explicitly required; equivalent experience is not offered as a substitute (a higher-level degree may substitute for experience, not the other way around).
'Systems modeling and simulation tools' is listed under required qualifications but no specific tool is named there; DOORS, Cameo, and MATLAB appear only under the preferred qualifications section.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit for a Systems Engineer role focused on MBSE, V&V, and requirements engineering in an aerospace/defense context, which does not map cleanly to a single standard BLS code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a plausible alternative given the systems analysis and requirements work.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements engineering, systems modeling and simulation.
