What this job asks for AI summary
A systems engineering lead role supporting federal intelligence community customers, embedded within a small software engineering team focused on analytics development, testing, and maintenance. The position carries end-to-end technical responsibility: translating user and mission needs into system requirements, driving architecture and design documentation, overseeing integration and test planning, and coordinating across government stakeholders. Suits an experienced systems engineer with a current TS/SCI clearance and relevant polygraph.

Why we read it this way (12)
The role is titled 'SE-2' (an internal Wyetech level designation) with no standard seniority modifier; the level advertised in the title is therefore Unspecified. The 14-year experience requirement and TTO Lead / technical integrity ownership clearly support a Senior classification.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting, but Wyetech operates across Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, and OCONUS sites; no single CBSA could be determined.
A TS/SCI with 'agency appropriate polygraph' is a hard gate per the Required Qualifications section.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD explicitly states that five additional years of SE experience may be substituted for the Bachelor's degree.
The pay range ($45.61–$119.86/hr) is described as a guideline dependent on contract rates and experience; the wide spread likely reflects multiple contract vehicles and locations.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is a Systems Engineer / TTO Lead performing requirements analysis, architecture documentation, and technical leadership — closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), though a Systems Engineering occupation sits at the boundary with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other).
DoDAF and SOA are mentioned in the capabilities section as architectural frameworks the candidate works within; DoDAF is treated as a hard gate given its placement in the required capabilities block, while SOA is listed as an example ('etc.') and is marked preferred.
Information Assurance (IA) requirements derivation (confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, availability, cryptography, access control) is explicitly called out as a required capability.
The posting contains very few named technologies or tools; most requirements are methodology- and process-oriented (systems engineering documentation, requirements management, WBS/IMP), which are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): TS/SCI with polygraph, Systems Engineering Management Plans.
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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
