Why we read it this way (9)
The title 'Engineer III' maps to a mid-level band; the 2–6 year experience range and 'early-career' framing in the overview confirm a Mid seniority level despite the 'III' suffix.
An active DoD Secret clearance is a hard gate; the ability to obtain TS/SCI is listed as preferred ('ability to obtain TS preferred'), so the clearance requirement is set to Secret only.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: this role is a classic Systems Engineer on a DoD SATCOM program — primarily requirements, architecture, and integration work — which aligns best with 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible runner-up given the 'Systems Engineer' title and defense-domain framing.
REST APIs / OpenAPI / Swagger appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are listed as 'familiarity with … or other interface documentation,' so they are marked preferred.
IBM DOORS is listed under Preferred Qualifications with 'or equivalent,' so alternatives would include tools like Jama Connect or Polarion; marked preferred.
Agile and SAFe appear only under Preferred Qualifications; marked preferred with SAFe as an alternative.
Generic skills such as technical writing, analytical skills, and cross-functional collaboration were omitted as they name no specific technology or tool.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering lifecycle, requirements management.
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.
