Why we read it this way (8)
This is primarily an aerospace/defense Systems Engineering role focused on solid rocket motor programs (NASA/DoD), not a computer or IT occupation. No SOC code in the allowed list cleanly fits; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, but this role would more accurately fall under 17-2199 (Engineers, All Other) or 17-2112 (Industrial Engineers), which are not in the permitted enum. Treat the SOC classification with caution.
The posting covers two levels: Level 3 (5+ years experience, salary $98,400–$147,600) and Level 4 (8+ years experience, salary $122,800–$184,200). The salary range shown spans both levels combined. The overall years minimum is set to 5 (the Level 3 minimum); the Level 4 minimum is 8 years.
Clearance: No active clearance is required at start, but candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government DoD Secret clearance. Clearance is set to Secret accordingly.
MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) is explicitly called out as a required methodology under Basic Qualifications context and job responsibilities, and is listed as a preferred qualification skill area. It is marked required given its prominence in the core job duties.
Skills such as Requirements, Verification, ICDs, and Configuration Management appear under the Preferred Qualifications section and are marked preferred.
The role is located in Promontory, UT, which falls within the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA. Relocation assistance may be available.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Configuration 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.
