Why we read it this way (8)

The role is titled 'Technical Requirements Systems Engineer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the scope — acting as expert liaison, managing customer expectations, facilitating sprint execution, and overseeing planning/design/implementation of a mission-critical system — supports a Senior classification.

The posting states '1 remote day each week,' meaning the role is primarily onsite in Annapolis Junction, MD; remote=false reflects this.

Annapolis Junction, MD falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA (12580).

An active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph is explicitly required as a hard gate.

Java and JavaScript are listed as alternatives ('Java or JavaScript frameworks') under the Required Experience section; emitted as a single skill with Java as primary and JavaScript as the alternative.

AI/ML experience (coordinating AI-driven solutions, staying current with ML advancements) appears entirely under the 'Desired Experience' section and is marked preferred accordingly.

No compensation, degree requirement, or total years of experience are stated in the posting.

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.
