Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'Fulgurite Systems Engineer (T02 level)' — T02 is Northrop Grumman's internal grade, roughly equivalent to an early-career/mid-level individual contributor; the posting requires only 2 years of experience (or 0 with a Master's), supporting a Mid seniority classification despite the broad salary range.
An active Top Secret clearance is explicitly required at time of application — not merely the ability to obtain one. The posting also mentions the need to be screened for Enhanced Security Clearances (likely TS/SCI), but the hard gate stated is Top Secret.
Cameo Enterprise Architecture is listed in both the required qualifications (as an MBSE tool 'such as Cameo') and the preferred qualifications (explicitly named). It is treated as a hard gate because it appears in the Basic Qualifications section with firm language, with MagicDraw listed as an alternative in the preferred section.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: this is a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) role focused on architecture and requirements, which sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the broader Computer Occupations category (15-1299). The work is primarily systems architecture and requirements modeling rather than traditional IT systems analysis.
This position is contingent upon contract award for the Sentinel program.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cameo Enterprise Architecture.
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.
