Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is a judgement call: this is a systems engineering role in aerospace, not a pure IT/software occupation. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest match for systems analysis and integration work within the SOC list; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible alternative. Neither is a perfect fit for a hardware/avionics systems engineer.
The posting names no specific software tools, platforms, or frameworks — the skills list reflects only the domain capabilities explicitly called out. 'Requirements analysis' and 'avionics systems engineering' are retained as named domain competencies rather than generic soft skills because they directly describe the technical gatekeeping criteria stated in the YOU MUST HAVE section.
Flight controls systems experience and avionics experience are listed under YOU MUST HAVE alongside the degree and years requirement, so they are treated as hard gates. Model-based systems engineering, systems V&V, and SDLC understanding appear under WE VALUE (preferred).
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): avionics systems engineering, model-based systems engineering, systems validation and verification.
