Why we read it this way (9)

This role is a Reliability, Maintainability & Safety (RAMS) Engineer — a systems/reliability engineering discipline that does not map cleanly to any standard computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a secondary possibility given the hardware/software analysis and technical documentation work.

The title 'Specialist, Systems Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level word; advertised seniority is Unspecified.

The minimum experience requirement is 4 years with a Bachelor's degree, 2 years with a Graduate degree, or 8 years in lieu of any degree. The 4-year floor with a Bachelor's is used as the overall years minimum, placing this at Mid level.

Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree ('In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior related experience').

The clearance requirement is stated as 'ability to obtain a Secret security clearance' — this is treated as a hard gate since the JD frames it as a required ability, not merely a preference.

The military/government standards (MIL-HDBK-217F, MIL-HDBK-470, MIL-STD-882, NFPA 70, NAS 411) are listed in the Essential Functions section with 'should be familiar with' language, which is borderline; however, given their placement in the core duties block and the specialized nature of the role, they are treated as hard gates.

Microsoft Office is listed under Preferred Additional Skills and is marked accordingly.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

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.
