Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not specified in the posting; SNC is headquartered in Sparks, NV, but the IAS business area operates from multiple sites. The CBSA could not be determined from the posting text alone.
The clearance section links to DCSA background investigation information and states applicants must be US citizens or authorized persons for trade regulation compliance, but no specific clearance level is explicitly required as a hard gate — marked as None accordingly.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit for Systems Engineering, which does not map cleanly to a single standard SOC; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the requirements analysis and integration focus.
The 'systems modeling and simulation tools' requirement is stated as a hard gate under 'Qualifications You Must Have' but no specific tool is named in that section; DOORS, Cameo, and MATLAB appear only under the preferred qualifications section.
INCOSE/CSEP certification, Agile, and Scrum Master certification all appear under 'Qualifications We Prefer' and are therefore preferred, not required.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a relevant engineering field; the posting notes a higher-level degree may substitute for experience, but a Bachelor's remains the stated minimum.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements engineering, systems modeling and simulation.
