Why we read it this way (6)
No work location city is explicitly stated in the posting; the CBSA could not be determined. BAE Systems operates multiple US campuses — hiring managers should confirm the specific site.
The title reads 'Senior' but the minimum experience gate is 4+ years (with advanced degrees substituting for experience), which aligns more closely with a Mid-level requirement. The advertised seniority reflects the title; the assessed level reflects the actual experience floor.
Cameo and SysML are called out extensively throughout the required responsibilities section and are treated as hard gates. The broader systems engineering process experience (requirements development, V&V, etc.) is required but names no specific tool beyond Cameo/SysML.
MATLAB, C, C++, IDL, STK, and Python appear only under 'Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills' and are therefore marked as preferred.
A current, active Secret clearance is explicitly required — candidates who cannot hold one are gated out.
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.
