Space Force MUOS Advanced Systems Engineer at General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc

The role is a Systems Engineer on a DoD Space Force program (MUOS), requiring both hardware and software systems-level thinking. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest SOC match; 15-1299 is noted as an alternative given the defense/embedded systems flavor.

SECRET clearance is listed as 'preferred at time of hire' but candidates MUST be able to obtain one — the posting gates on clearance eligibility, so Secret is flagged as required.

Degree requirement: Bachelor's in Systems Engineering or related STEM field is a hard gate; a Master's + 3 years is offered as an alternative path, so Bachelor's is the minimum.

The 5+ years figure is the primary experience gate (or Master's + 3 years); the overall years minimum is set to 5 accordingly.

Requirements management tools and system modeling tools are called out under 'What sets you apart,' which reads as a differentiator/preferred section rather than a hard gate.

Agile is explicitly listed as 'preferred' in the Basic Qualifications section.

DOD domain knowledge appears in the 'highly recommend' narrative block, not in a hard-requirements section.

The role is hybrid (3 days on-site in Scottsdale, AZ / 2 days remote); remote=false is set because it is not fully remote.

No specific named tools or technologies are hard-gated in this posting — the skills list reflects the few concrete capabilities mentioned.

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

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.
