Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'MS&A Software Engineer / Project Technical Manager' with no explicit seniority level in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 12+ years requirement and scope of leading simulation development support a Senior classification.
The JD hard-gates on a current Secret clearance AND the ability to obtain Top Secret. The active TS/SCI (granted within last 5 years) appears only under Preferred, so the clearance requirement is set to Secret (the current hard gate). Candidates should be aware that obtaining and maintaining a Top Secret clearance is also required.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Software Engineering or Computer Science — equivalent experience is not offered as a substitute, so this is a hard gate.
The 10-year minimum with a graduate degree is an alternative path; 12 years is the baseline, so the overall years minimum is set to 12.
6-DOF simulation experience and optimization algorithms appear only under Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is primarily simulation software development (15-1252), but the 'Project Technical Manager' framing and cross-functional leadership duties introduce some ambiguity with 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers); however, the day-to-day work described is hands-on coding and technical validation, not people management.
Hill AFB is located in the Ogden-Clearfield, UT CBSA.
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.
