What this job asks for AI summary
A network systems integration engineering role focused on configuring and integrating network and security hardware into classified mission-critical systems supporting strategic deterrence programs. Day-to-day work spans lab-based equipment configuration, network architecture design, security documentation, and system accreditation support, with model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools used throughout. Suited to candidates with a background in systems or network engineering who hold or can obtain a DoD Secret clearance.

Why we read it this way (9)
The role sits at the intersection of systems engineering and network integration (NC3/defense mission systems), making it a genuine toss-up between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and Network/Systems Administrators (15-1244). The primary day-to-day work — integrating network/security devices into mission systems, MBSE modeling, and system accreditation support — leans more toward systems analysis than pure network ops, so 15-1211 was chosen with 15-1244 as the runner-up.
Minimum experience is 2+ years (or a Master's with 6 months), placing this solidly at the Mid level despite the defense/mission-critical context.
Agile is listed under 'Basic Qualifications' but explicitly flagged as 'preferred' within that section, so it is marked as preferred rather than required.
The MBSE tools requirement names Cameo Systems Modeler and MagicDraw as examples ('or similar'); both are captured with each as an alternative for the other.
'network equipment configuration', 'switches', 'routers', 'firewalls', and 'system security documentation' are drawn from the responsibilities/qualifications narrative with firm language ('expertise in', 'proficiency in', 'develop') and treated as hard gates.
AI is mentioned only as 'identifies opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement' — aspirational context, not a hard gate.
The position is fully on-site in Taunton, MA (with occasional travel to Dedham, MA); the CBSA used is Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH, which encompasses both locations.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network equipment configuration, system security 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.
