Systems Engineer - Mechanical Integration

This role is primarily a Mechanical Systems Integration engineering position — not a software or computer occupation. No SOC code in the available list cleanly fits; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, but this role would more accurately be classified under an engineering SOC (e.g., 17-2141 Mechanical Engineers or 17-2199 Engineers, All Other) which is not in the permitted list. Treat the SOC assignment with caution.

The Basic Qualifications gate on 3D CAD experience (SolidWorks, CREO, or Inventor named as examples) AND experience in at least one of: mechanical design, mechanical integration, or mechanical hardware installation. These are treated as hard gates; the specific CAD tools are interchangeable alternatives.

A DoD Secret clearance is listed as a hard gate — candidates must be eligible to obtain one (U.S. citizenship required). An active/current Secret clearance is listed under Desired Skills as preferred.

CREO CAD modeling/drawing/configuration control appears again under Desired Skills as a more specific preferred capability beyond the basic CAD gate in Basic Qualifications.

A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline is listed under Desired Skills (preferred), and explicitly allows equivalent work experience — so no minimum degree is hard-required.

The salary range quoted ($89,300–$157,550) applies to Colorado and several other named states; the actual range may differ for other locations.

No overall years-of-experience figure is stated at the role level; the posting is labeled 'Experienced Professional' but no numeric floor is given.

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.
