How this req sits in the market our data

What the occupation pays Median $131,929 (middle half $101,412–$164,081). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field' appears under Required Qualifications with no equivalent-experience escape clause.

The security clearance is framed as 'ability to obtain and maintain' — candidates need not hold an active Secret clearance on day one, but it is a hard gate on eligibility.

Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw plugin experience, SysML/MBSE familiarity, Eclipse plugin environments, JavaFX/Swing, and LLM integration all appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.

The role title explicitly states 'Mid', aligning with the 3+ years experience requirement — both advertised and actual seniority land at Mid.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Eclipse plugin development.

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.
