What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on preparing and maintaining engineering specifications — including product, material, process, and system specs — within a configuration management (CM) framework for a space-sector organization. The work involves researching and verifying technical content, contributing to CM process improvements, and coordinating with engineering and customer stakeholders to ensure specifications meet quality and requirements standards. It suits candidates with a systems engineering or technical documentation background.

Why we read it this way (9)
This role is a Systems Engineer focused on specification preparation and configuration management (CM) within an aerospace/defense context — it is not a software or IT role. No SOC code maps cleanly; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is used as the closest available code for a systems/requirements analyst function, but the actual work is closer to an aerospace systems engineering occupation (17-2199). Treat the SOC classification with caution.
The posting covers two levels simultaneously: Level 2 (2+ years with a Bachelor's, or 0 years with a Master's) and Level 3 (5+ years with a Bachelor's, 3 years with a Master's, or 1 year with a PhD). The salary ranges reflect both: $79,300–$118,900 for Level 2 and $98,400–$147,600 for Level 3. The combined range ($79,300–$147,600) is reported. Seniority is assessed as Mid, reflecting the entry point of the posting (Level 2).
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly accepts '4+ years of additional experience in lieu of degree' at both levels.
An active DoD Secret clearance is listed under Preferred Qualifications only — it is not a hard gate for this role.
Skills such as CM principles, systems engineering knowledge, and requirements management are stated as required qualifications but name no specific software tool; they are included as named competency areas given their explicit gate status in the Basic Qualifications sections.
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and PLM/MBSE/MRP experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
CMII certification appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
Promontory, UT is an unincorporated community in Box Elder County, which falls within the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Configuration Management (CM), Systems Engineering, Requirements Management.
