Lead, Systems Engineer at L3Harris

The role title is 'Systems Engineer, Lead' — 'Lead' here is used in the L3Harris job-family sense (the posting describes it as a technical authority/senior individual contributor), not a people-manager role, so 15-1299 (Systems Engineering) is preferred over 11-3021; 15-1211 is the closest standard SOC but Systems Engineers in defense/aerospace are conventionally mapped to 15-1299.

The minimum experience requirement is 9 years with a Bachelor's degree, 7 years with a graduate degree, or 13 years in lieu of any degree — the 9-year figure is used as the overall years minimum per the primary path.

Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree.

An active Secret clearance is listed under Preferred Additional Skills but is the last bullet and reads as a hard operational gate for a defense program; 'Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance' also appears earlier in the same section. Clearance is flagged as Secret.

All named skills appear under the 'Preferred Additional Skills' heading, so they are marked as preferred. The only hard-gated requirement in the formal Qualifications block is the degree/experience combination and the systems engineering discipline itself.

Lab equipment (signal generators, spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, network packet testers) is listed as familiarity under Preferred; 'power meters' and 'network packet testers' are included in the preferred skills via the named items above.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, requirements management.

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.
