Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Mid-Level Systems Engineer' and requires 3+ years of experience, which aligns with a Mid seniority band.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the day-to-day work is systems engineering analysis and documentation review for a DoD customer, which maps most closely to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211); 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible runner-up given the specialized defense systems engineering focus.
JASM, JITC, SETR, ITRA, ISPs, SEPs, MBSE, and digital engineering are all listed under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Generative AI, scripting, and workflow automation appear only under Preferred Qualifications, tied to the AI tool development task mentioned in the role description.
The security clearance requirement is to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance — not an active clearance at time of hire, but it is a hard gate for continued employment.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, workflow automation.
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.
