Why we read it this way (9)
This role is primarily a domain-specific satellite communications systems engineering position rather than a conventional computer/IT occupation. SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems engineering and analysis focus, but neither is a precise fit.
The clearance requirement is Active Top Secret with the ability to obtain SCI eligibility — effectively a TS/SCI gate.
The 7-year experience requirement appears both in Minimum Qualifications and Key Responsibilities; it is treated as the role-level minimum.
SATCOM engineering/operations experience is the core hard gate. MILSATCOM, AEHF, EHF terminal operations (SMART-T, NMT), and MPE/MPSS are all listed as 'desired' or 'a plus' in the preferred/key responsibilities sections.
SQL, MATLAB, and STK appear only as examples under 'software analysis, modeling, and simulation a plus' — listed as preferred.
The posting requires on-site presence within commuting distance of Peterson Space Force Base; fully remote work is not offered.
International travel (Canada, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia) is explicitly required.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): EHF terminal operations.
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.
