Why we read it this way (7)
The role is primarily systems engineering / interface management for DoD space programs — it sits between pure systems analysis (15-1211) and a broader space/aerospace engineering occupation; 15-1211 is the closest SOC match given the requirements development, documentation, and integration focus.
The JD requires the ability to OBTAIN a Secret clearance (not an active one), though an active Secret or higher is listed as a desired qualification.
The DOORS/Jama/Cameo requirement is framed as 'e.g.' within the required section — these are treated as interchangeable examples of systems engineering tools that satisfy the same hard gate; alternatives are captured accordingly.
PMP and INCOSE certifications appear under Desired qualifications and are listed as preferred.
The 5-year DoD program experience requirement is a role-level gate but names no specific technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum context; the overall minimum is 8+ years in satellite/aerospace systems as stated.
MBSE tools proficiency appears under Desired qualifications.
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.
