Why we read it this way (6)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Clearance' — the specific level is not named. Given the MDA (Missile Defense Agency) program context and ITAR compliance requirements, a Secret clearance is the minimum reasonable assumption, though TS may ultimately be required. Marked as Secret conservatively.
The degree requirement is flexible: the posting accepts a Bachelor's + 10 years, a Master's + 8 years, 14 years of experience with no degree, or even a High School Diploma/Equivalent. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, no minimum degree is flagged.
The role title is 'Systems Engineer V', which maps most closely to a senior individual-contributor systems engineering position. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available code for defense/aerospace systems engineering, which does not fit neatly into a single standard SOC; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up.
Two geographic pay ranges are provided: California ($161,700–$199,400) and Nevada ($153,615–$189,430). The base range reported ($153,615–$199,400) spans both; the California-specific floor is higher.
DoDAF and experience in Reliability/System Safety Analyses appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
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.
