Why we read it this way (7)
This role is primarily a mechanical/electromechanical systems engineering position focused on CAD drafting and Technical Design Packages for antenna and RF systems — it does not map cleanly to any single computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code given the defense systems engineering context; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the systems integration and configuration management aspects, but neither is a precise fit. A dedicated 'Systems Engineer' SOC (17-2199, Miscellaneous Engineers) would be more accurate but is not available in the schema.
The posting lists 'Familiarity with PCB design, mechanical packaging, and Altium-based electrical-mechanical coordination' under Required Qualifications despite using the word 'familiarity.' Because it appears in the required qualifications section, it is treated as a hard gate. The specific mention of Altium is captured as a required skill.
DoD Secret clearance is a hard gate — the posting states candidates must be able to obtain and maintain an active DoD Secret clearance.
The hybrid/telework option is described as dependent on program requirements and is not guaranteed; remote is set to false accordingly.
GD&T and NAVWAR/DoD program experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): PCB design.
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.
