How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $112,296 (middle half $88,576–$146,860). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting explicitly states 'May substitute equivalent experience in lieu of education,' so the Bachelor's degree is not a hard gate — the degree requirement is set to None.
A Secret clearance is listed as 'Desired' (not required), but the posting also states 'Ability to acquire and maintain DoD security clearance required.' The hard gate is the ability to obtain a clearance, not holding an active one; the clearance requirement is set to Secret to reflect this eligibility requirement.
The posting names no specific programming languages, frameworks, or tools — only generic software development concepts. No concrete named technologies could be extracted beyond the clearance eligibility requirement.
Experience level is explicitly stated as Entry-Level (0-2 years); the overall years minimum is set to 0 accordingly.
The role is hybrid (not fully remote) based in Kaysville, UT, which falls within the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA.
The title 'Software Developer, Cockpit Systems' carries no seniority modifier, so the title states no level.
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.
