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 role is a genuine hybrid of software development and software QA/testing — responsibilities include both coding/design tasks and formal SQA, DT&E/OT&E test planning, and test execution. Software Developers (15-1252) was chosen as primary because the JD emphasizes full software engineering lifecycle work (design, coding, peer reviews, documentation); 15-1253 (SQA Analysts and Testers) is a strong runner-up given the explicit 5-year DT&E/OT&E testing requirement.
The minimum education requirement is a High School Diploma; a Bachelor's Degree is listed only under Preferred Qualifications, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 15-year minimum experience figure comes from the hard 'Minimum Experience' section. The preferred qualifications section lists a lower threshold of 10 years, which is secondary.
NPES (Nuclear Planning and Execution System) domain knowledge is a clear implicit requirement but names no specific commercial technology, so it is not emitted as a named skill.
USSTRATCOM weapon systems/capabilities experience appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD DT&E/OT&E.
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.
