Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (9)
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'Continental US' travel; no specific metro or state can be determined. The role is on-site (no remote option stated) supporting NGA, which is headquartered in the Springfield, VA area, but this is not confirmed in the posting.
The TS/SCI clearance is a hard gate; the posting also requires the ability to obtain a Polygraph, which is an additional clearance-adjacent requirement not fully captured by the TopSecretSci flag alone.
A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly states 'equivalent experience accepted,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
Experience range is 0–3 years (academic, internship, or professional), consistent with a true entry-level/Junior role.
The broad salary range ($58,000–$115,900) is noted by the posting itself as a national average across multiple possible work locations.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends systems engineering (requirements, interfaces, V&V) with some software/data/infrastructure context. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest fit; 15-1299 is the runner-up given the explicit 'Systems Engineer' framing.
GIS, cloud technologies, requirements/test management tools, and Agile are all listed under the 'Desired' section and are preferred, not required.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): 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.
