What this job asks for AI summary
A hybrid Systems Engineer role based in Hanscom, MA, supporting DoD programs across the full acquisition lifecycle — from requirements analysis and trade studies to validation, integration, and deployment.

Suited to candidates with a strong DoD acquisition background and an active Top Secret clearance.
Senior level · 8+ years · Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH · Top Secret clearance · Full-time
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Systems Engineer' but the day-to-day work is heavily systems/acquisition analysis (trade studies, requirements documents, ICD/CDD/CPD review, AoA) rather than hands-on software or hardware engineering — 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest fit, though 15-1299 is a reasonable runner-up given the defense-systems engineering flavor.
Active Top Secret clearance is an explicit hard gate; TS/SCI is not mentioned.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD states 'Additional years of experience may be considered in lieu of degree,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 8+ years total experience requirement includes a sub-requirement of at least 5 years within DoD.
Several 'skills' listed in the qualifications (e.g., requirements development, MBSE, V&V, configuration management) are methodologies rather than named tools or platforms; they are included because the JD explicitly gates on knowledge of them by name.
The role is hybrid at Hanscom AFB, MA — not fully remote.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Model Based Systems Engineering, requirements development, configuration management, systems architecture.
Requires a Top 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.
