Sentinel - Thread Support Staff Systems Engineer - 18064

This is a Systems Engineering role (Thread Support Staff Systems Engineer, Level 5) focused on aerospace/defense — specifically the Sentinel ICBM ground systems program. No standard computer/mathematical SOC fits cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code, with 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) as a runner-up given the systems analysis and requirements/architecture work. The role is fundamentally a defense systems engineering discipline, not a software or IT occupation.

The posting titles this a 'Level 5' / 'Staff Systems Engineer' role, hence the level advertised in the title is Staff. However, the actual scope — leading a single assigned thread within a large program, with 12 years of experience required — is consistent with a Senior individual contributor, not a true org-wide Staff authority.

The minimum experience requirement is tiered: 12 years with a Bachelor's, 10 years with a Master's, or 8 years with a PhD. The 12-year figure (lowest bar) is used for the overall years minimum.

A DoD Secret clearance is a hard gate at time of application. A Top Secret clearance and SAP access are listed under Preferred Qualifications.

The 4-year ICBM/complex aerospace-defense experience requirement is a named domain gate listed under Basic Qualifications. MBSE tools and practices appear only under Preferred Qualifications.

Beyond MBSE, the preferred qualifications describe broad domain experience and soft skills (large-scale system development, communication) rather than specific named technologies, so no additional preferred skills are emitted.

Relocation assistance may be available; the role is on-site in Roy, UT (Ogden-Clearfield CBSA).

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.
