Why we read it this way (9)
This is a Systems Engineering role supporting USSPACECOM at Colorado Springs, CO — work is on-site at the government's facilities; no remote option is indicated.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'Secret level with Top Secret/SCI eligibility' — classified as TS/SCI since the role requires eligibility for TS/SCI access.
Degree requirement: a Master's in engineering/CS/IT is preferred, but a Bachelor's in the same fields plus 5 additional years of experience is explicitly accepted as an alternative, so Bachelor's is the minimum hard gate.
The 10-year minimum is stated at the role level against DoD/NIWC Systems Engineering Management experience, not tied to a specific named technology.
MBSE and Cameo are explicitly required in the Requirements section. SysML certification appears only under Desired Skills.
INCOSE certification, IAT/IAM Level II (Security+/CCNA), MBSE/SysML certification, change board experience, SIPH/SOVT familiarity, and FAR familiarity all appear under 'Desired Skills' and are treated as preferred.
The posting notes this position is contingent upon funding.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for a dedicated Systems Engineer role; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest alternative, though neither perfectly captures the DoD MBSE/systems engineering discipline.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
