Why we read it this way (7)
This requisition covers two levels simultaneously: Associate Systems Engineer (T01, 1+ years with a Bachelor's or 0 with a Master's) and Systems Engineer (T02, 2+ years with a Bachelor's or 0 with a Master's). The salary range spans both levels ($65,800–$98,800 for T01; $79,300–$118,900 for T02). The overall years minimum is set to 1 (the lower gate for T01).
An active Secret clearance is a hard gate at time of application; the ability to obtain a Special Access Program (SAP) approval is also required but within a 'reasonable period of time' post-hire.
DOORS and CAMEO are listed as interchangeable alternatives ('1 year of experience with DOORS or CAMEO') — captured as one required skill with the other in alternatives.
ICBM experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is domain knowledge rather than a named technology; it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
An active Top Secret clearance is listed as a preferred qualification, not a hard gate — the hard gate is Secret.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering V model.
Requires a 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.
