We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting requires a Top Secret clearance plus the ability to obtain an SSBI (Single Scope Background Investigation) including a polygraph — mapped to TopSecretSci.
All named tools (DOORS, Rhapsody, MS Project, JIRA, Linux, MS Office) appear under a 'Desired Skills' heading, making them preferred rather than hard gates.
The role's core focus is real-time signal processing, DSP, and high-performance distributed systems engineering. The SOC is Medium-confidence because the work spans both systems/software engineering (15-1252) and a broader signals/systems engineering discipline that could fit 15-1299.
The posting is open to candidates at different experience levels than stated, which may affect compensation — noted as a possible seniority/salary flexibility signal.
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.
