Why we read it this way (8)
The clearance level is not explicitly specified beyond 'U.S. Government-issued security clearance'; Secret is assumed as a baseline for DoD radar/defense programs, but the actual level required could be higher (e.g., Top Secret). Candidates must hold or be able to obtain the clearance at time of hire.
MATLAB and Simulink are listed together as a combined modeling requirement; both are captured as separate required skills given they are distinct tools used in tandem.
The title says 'Mid-level' and the posting requires 5+ years of DoD systems engineering experience. The seniority is assessed as Mid based on the explicit title framing, though 5+ years on DoD programs with radar/AESA depth could support a Senior classification.
Python appears only under 'Desired Skills' and is treated as preferred.
Experience with geographically distributed teams and technical leadership/mentoring of junior engineers are listed under Desired Skills but name no specific technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
A Master's degree is listed under Desired Skills and is therefore preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering.
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.
