Junior Systems Engineer

The role is titled 'Systems Engineer' with no level modifier; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The minimum experience gate is 2 years (Bachelor's) or 6 months (Master's), placing actual requirements squarely at Junior level.

A DoD Secret clearance is explicitly required at time of hire — not merely preferred or obtainable.

U.S. citizenship is a hard requirement due to the classified nature of the work.

The Must Have section lists conceptual/process competencies (systems engineering principles, requirements management, system modeling tools, design documentation) rather than specific named software products. 'System modeling tools' is the closest to a named-tool requirement but no specific tool (e.g., DOORS, Cameo) is called out.

Nice to Have items — combat/weapon systems experience, Tomahawk missile systems, Navy/government org experience, Agile, and AI — are explicitly labeled optional.

The posting is classified as 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) rather than a pure software developer code because the role centers on systems analysis, accreditation/certification support, requirements analysis, and interface definition studies rather than writing application code. 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative given the defense systems engineering context.

The 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) is mentioned as a workplace benefit, not a remote or hybrid arrangement — the role is fully onsite in Middletown, RI.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, requirements management, technical documentation.

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.
