How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $130,897 (middle half $102,526–$165,828).
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 (5)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'must have or be able to obtain' — the candidate does not need an active clearance at application, but must be eligible to obtain one. Mapped to Secret as the minimum implied by a DoD program context; the actual level is not specified in the posting.
C++ is listed with the qualifier 'or comparable OOP' — alternatives would be other OOP languages (e.g. Java, C#), but given the domain specificity (real-time radar, GPU/CUDA), C++ is the overwhelmingly expected skill and alternatives are not named.
MATLAB and Python appear together in a single requirement phrase ('MATLAB/Python prototyping and data analysis') under the required skills section; both are treated as hard gates.
Master's degree, root cause analysis, software architecture experience, and distributed team experience appear under 'Desired Skills' and are preferred, not required.
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.
