Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 9, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The role is posted for three locations: Aurora, CO; Colorado Springs, CO; and King of Prussia, PA. The CBSA reported reflects the Denver-Aurora metro; King of Prussia falls under the Philadelphia CBSA (37980). The posted salary range is described as a national average across all locations.

The defect/test management tool requirement lists Jira, Azure DevOps, and TestRail as interchangeable examples ('or similar'); all three are captured as a single requirement with alternatives rather than separate hard gates.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends systems engineering, software QA/test, and some DevOps collaboration. 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers) best fits the primary day-to-day work of executing and maintaining integration and test procedures; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the systems engineering framing.

The 3+ years requirement is stated at the role level (systems engineering experience overall), with 1-2 years specifically in integration and test; the overall years minimum is set to 3 as the overall minimum.

Test automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, PyTest, Robot Framework) and scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell) appear only under the Desired section and are marked preferred accordingly.

Requires a TS/SCI 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.
