Why we read it this way (9)
This is a Systems Engineering / Requirements IPT Lead role in the defense/autonomous maritime domain. It maps most closely to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) given the focus on requirements management, verification planning, and systems engineering processes; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible runner-up given the specialized defense systems engineering nature of the work.
The role is on-site or hybrid at the Taunton, MA facility. Taunton falls within the Providence-Warwick, RI-MA CBSA (39300), which is the closest major metro.
A DoD Secret clearance is explicitly required at time of hire — this is a hard gate.
US citizenship is also explicitly required due to the nature of work performed.
Requirements management is listed as a core responsibility and is explicitly called out as a primary function of the role, making it a hard gate. All other named tools and domain skills (Agile, DOORS, MBSE, undersea domain knowledge) appear under 'preferred skills or experiences' and are therefore preferred.
The posting states 'Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering or a related STEM field' as a minimum, with a Master's + 3 years as an alternative path — the minimum formal degree required is a Bachelor's.
The 5+ years requirement (or Master's + 3 years) is stated at the role level, not tied to any specific technology.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): requirements management.
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.
