What this job asks for AI summary
An early-career systems engineering position supporting the planning, design, and integration of military and critical infrastructure programs — including nuclear facilities, unmanned aerial vehicles, and ammunition plants. Day-to-day work involves requirements management, hardware/software integration analysis, technical documentation, and use of digital engineering tools such as CAMEO and DOORS within a cross-functional team following Agile practices. A STEM degree and the ability to obtain a Secret clearance are required.

Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is titled 'Junior Systems Engineer' but requires 4 years of experience (2 with a Master's), which is more consistent with a Mid-level role than a true entry-level Junior position.
CAMEO and DOORS are listed together in the requirements section as examples of 'digital engineering tools' the candidate will utilize. They are named as a paired example ('CAMEO, DOORS, Etc'), so both are captured as required skills with each listed as an alternative for the other; the 'Etc' suggests other equivalent tools would also be acceptable.
MBSE, GIS, and Agile appear under the 'Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills' section and are therefore preferred rather than required.
Security clearance: the JD hard-gates on the ability to obtain a Secret clearance ('Must be able to obtain a Secret security clearance'); an active Secret is preferred. Active Top Secret is listed under Preferred. Clearance is set to Secret as the hard gate.
The role is located north of Salt Lake City (Ogden/Hill AFB area, UT), mapped to the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA. No remote option is indicated.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: this is a Systems Engineering role in a defense/infrastructure context that blends hardware/software integration and requirements management — closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), though 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the MBSE/systems engineering focus.
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.
