What this job asks for AI summary
A senior systems engineering role supporting a nuclear weapons command and control program at a US Air Force base. Day-to-day work spans system analysis, software integration and testing, requirements development, configuration management, and technical reviews of design artifacts. The role also involves advising on acquisition processes, Agile/DevOps practices, and cloud and microservice architectures, and suits an experienced engineer with a strong DoD background and active TS/SCI clearance.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
The minimum qualifications gate on 15 years of experience with 5 years supporting DoD; the preferred qualifications describe a lower bar (10 years / 3 years DoD), which appears to be an alternative path rather than a true minimum — the overall years minimum is set to 15 per the stated minimum.
Education minimum is a High School Diploma; a Bachelor's degree appears only under Preferred Qualifications, so the degree requirement is set to None.
SDLC and Agile are listed under the required qualifications block with explicit 'strong knowledge' language. DevOps, CI/CD, Cloud, and Microservices appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than a hard-gate qualifications section.
Security+ certification is listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
The role is a hybrid of systems engineering, acquisition support, and software integration analysis — it sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and Software Developers (15-1252). The dominant day-to-day work (system specs, technical reviews, acquisition artifacts, standards compliance) leans toward systems analysis, but the hands-on coding and SDLC requirements add a software development dimension.
Prior RBS or infrastructure services experience is listed under Preferred/Additional Experience with no specific technology named, so it is omitted from the skills list per the generic-concept rule.
No compensation was stated in the posting.
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.
