What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level systems engineering role supporting a defense program at a Utah facility, focused on capturing model-based digital architecture and managing requirements flow-down from customer to subsystem level. Day-to-day work involves coordinating across cross-functional teams, supporting verification activities, and integrating change management processes. The role also carries a mentoring and technical leadership component within a systems engineering team, and a background in solid rocket motor systems is expected.

Why we read it this way (8)
This is a Systems Engineering role, not a software/computer occupation in the traditional sense — it focuses on model-based systems engineering (MBSE), requirements capture, and verification for a defense/space (solid rocket motor) program. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the requirements analysis and modeling focus, but neither is a perfect fit for a hardware/aerospace systems engineer.
The posting is titled 'Systems Engineer – Level 2', which maps to a Mid-level band (2+ years required). The seniority assessment reflects the stated minimum experience (2 years) and the Level 2 designation.
Clearance: the JD states 'No clearance required for start' but candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance — flagged as Secret since it is a hard gate on eligibility.
Degree: a Bachelor's in a STEM field is required; a Master's degree is accepted in lieu of experience (not in lieu of the degree itself), so Bachelors is the minimum formal degree gate.
The role is located in Promontory, UT, which falls within the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA. No relocation assistance is offered.
Most skills in this posting are domain/methodology concepts (solid rocket motor physics, systems engineering thinking, leadership) rather than named tools or platforms, so the skills list is intentionally short. 'Requirements Management' and 'MBSE' are the most concrete named technical capabilities called out as required. Items such as ICDs, Verification, Configuration Management, and Risk Management appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Requirements Management, Configuration Management, Risk Management.
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.
