What this job asks for AI summary
A systems or electrical engineer role embedded on-site at Hill Air Force Base, supporting a defense weapons program. The position centers on acting as a technical liaison across government, contractor, and external stakeholder organizations, with day-to-day work involving requirements analysis and validation, interface design, and risk management across acquisition lifecycle phases. It suits engineers with a background in DoD or DoE missile defense or ICBM programs who hold an active Secret clearance.

Why we read it this way (10)
This role is a defense/systems engineering position at Hill AFB (Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA). It does not map cleanly to any single computer/mathematical SOC; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is used as the closest available code for a systems engineer performing requirements analysis and architecture validation, but the role is fundamentally a hardware/electrical/systems engineering position that sits outside the standard software/IT taxonomy. The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted as a secondary option.
The JD requires an Active Secret Clearance as a hard gate, but also lists 'TS and SAP eligible' as a requirement and 'Active TS or TS/SCI' plus 'Previous SAP Clearance' under what appears to be the preferred/nice-to-have section. The clearance requirement is set to Secret (the stated minimum hard gate); the TS/SCI and SAP items are preferred.
The 7+ years experience requirement notes that a Master's Degree accounts for 2 years, meaning a Master's holder needs only 5 years of direct experience. The overall years minimum is set to 7 (the stated floor without a graduate degree).
The Bachelor's degree requirement specifies Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
The role is explicitly on-site daily at Hill AFB in Clearfield, UT; remote=false.
The posting is from Insight Global (a staffing firm), and the pay range of $60–$80/hr strongly indicates a contract/W2 engagement rather than direct hire.
Skills such as 'Interface Control Electrical Engineering (circuitry design, control systems, PLC programming, signal processing)' and 'DoD/DoE program support within Hypersonic Interceptors, Ballistic Missile Defense or ICBM programs' are listed under the required Skills and Requirements section. MBSE (DOORS, CAMEO), AFOTEC experience, DoE National Laboratories experience, DAU documentation familiarity, and Active TS/TS-SCI clearance appear in the lower block that reads as preferred/nice-to-have.
Ignored 6 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Interface Control / Electrical Engineering, DoD/DoE program support, Risk Management, Requirements integration and validation, DAU acquisition documentation.
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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
