What this job asks for AI summary
A software engineering role focused on designing, developing, and maintaining data acquisition, data processing, and data storage systems used in aerospace ground testing at Arnold Air Force Base. The work spans the full development lifecycle — requirements, coding, testing, and configuration management — using languages such as C++, Python, and MATLAB on Windows and Linux platforms. Suited to candidates with a computing-related degree and at least two years of relevant experience who can obtain a U.S. security clearance.

Why we read it this way (6)
This posting covers two grade levels: L07 (2+ years, $93K–$133K/yr) and L08 (5+ years, $109K–$150K/yr). The minimum experience of 2 years (L07) is used for the overall years minimum; the role is sized as Mid-level accordingly.
The technology environment section ('Our Technology Environment') lists languages, scripting languages, IDEs, OS, and version control as the team's active stack. These are presented as the tools used on the job rather than explicit gates in a requirements block, but given the nature of the role (software engineering for data acquisition systems), they represent the working environment candidates must be productive in and are captured here.
Security clearance: the JD requires candidates to 'be able to obtain and maintain' a clearance; an active DoD clearance is listed only under Preferred Qualifications. The hard gate is the ability to obtain one — mapped to Secret (standard DoD baseline for AEDC/Arnold AFB work). An active clearance is preferred, not required.
Arnold AFB is located near Tullahoma, TN, which falls within the Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN CBSA. Note: Tullahoma is geographically closer to the Huntsville, AL metro but is within Tennessee and the Nashville CBSA boundary.
Real-time application programming, GUI development, UML/software design documentation, Agile/Scrum/Kanban, CompTIA Security+, and SDLC/OOP knowledge all 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.
