Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting covers two levels simultaneously — Mid-Level (Bachelor's + 5 years, or Master's + 3 years, or PhD) and Senior-Level (Bachelor's + 9 years, or Master's + 7 years). The seniority and the overall years minimum fields reflect the lower (Mid-Level) gate, as that is the minimum threshold to qualify.
The role blends software test/QA duties (writing and executing test procedures, test documentation, requirements verification) with integration engineering work (network programming, system-of-systems frameworks). SOC 15-1253 was chosen as the primary classification given the dominant test/verification focus; 15-1252 is a credible alternative given the network programming and integration requirements.
GitLab and Git are listed together as a single configuration-management requirement; Git is captured as an alternative.
Network programming (message generation, formatting, UDP and TCP/IP interfaces) is listed as a required skill; UDP and TCP/IP are emitted as separate required skills reflecting distinct protocol knowledge.
Desired skills (test automation, Agile/Scrum, Java, Jira, multi-threaded programming, MDA familiarity) all appear under the 'Desired Skills' heading and are marked preferred accordingly. 'Familiarity with MDA missile defense systems' was omitted as it names no specific technology or tool.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
