Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Entry Level Software Systems Engineer' and the preferred qualifications describe 0 years of related experience with a relevant BS degree, confirming a Junior-level position.
The role blends software development with systems engineering (requirements analysis, traceability, integration) — it could reasonably be classified as Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), but the emphasis on designing, developing, and deploying operational flight software tips it toward Software Developers (15-1252).
A Secret clearance is required post-start (candidates must be able to obtain one); an active clearance is not required at time of hire.
Jira is explicitly named in the job description body as the tool used throughout the software lifecycle and is the only concrete technology mentioned in a required context. DOORS and logic diagrams appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
The preferred qualifications section also references experience with 'software design and development tools such as DOORS and logic diagrams' and 'technical writing experience' — these are preferred, not required.
The position requires U.S. Person status (citizen, national, LPR, refugee, or asylee) for export control compliance; visa sponsorship is not offered.
Relocation assistance is available based on candidate eligibility.
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.
