Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is located in Colorado Springs, CO, though the category header also mentions Maryland — the body text explicitly states 'This position is located in Colorado Springs, CO,' so Colorado Springs is used as the primary location.
No active security clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate in the posting; however, the role supports a US Army Defense program and mentions DoD 8570 certifications as desired, so candidates should expect a clearance investigation as part of onboarding (the posting notes background investigations may vary by assignment).
The degree requirement is marked None because the JD explicitly provides multiple substitution paths — including no degree at all with sufficient experience — making no specific degree a hard gate.
The 10+ years of experience is stated at the role level ('10+ years of systems engineering experience supporting Defense programs'), not tied to a specific technology, so it is captured as the overall experience minimum.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: this role is a classic systems engineering function (assess, design, integrate, verify systems) which maps best to 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts; however, the defense/C2 program context and lifecycle engineering scope could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), noted as the alt code.
DOORS and Jama are listed together as example requirements management tools under the Desired/non-essential section, so they are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
Security+ and Network+ are listed as examples of DoD 8570 certifications under Desired qualifications, so they are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, system architecture, INCOSE ASEP/CSEP/ESEP, DAWIA Systems Engineering.
