Infrastructure Hardware Systems Engineer

The role is a hybrid (3 days onsite/week) in Pittsfield, MA — not fully remote.

U.S. Citizenship is explicitly required as a hard gate; candidates must be able to obtain a DoD Secret Security Clearance.

The degree requirement has an alternative path: a Master's degree plus 6 years of experience is accepted in lieu of a Bachelor's plus 8 years. The minimum hard-required degree is a Bachelor's (or equivalent advanced degree), so 'Bachelors' is set as the floor.

The overall years minimum of 8 reflects the Bachelor's + 8 years path (the lower degree threshold); the Master's + 6 years path is an accepted alternative.

This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, hardware infrastructure, and security/accreditation. SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest fit given the emphasis on evaluating systems, security documentation, and lifecycle engineering; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the hardware/infrastructure focus.

The JD names no specific named technologies, platforms, or tools beyond broad categories ('requirements management and system modeling tools'). No concrete tool names (e.g., DOORS, SysML, Cameo) are specified, so only the capability categories are captured as skills.

Prior federal/Navy program experience, DoD accreditation familiarity, lab-based hardware testing, and mission-critical OT infrastructure are all listed under 'Nice-to-Have Skills' and are marked as preferred accordingly.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, requirements management, system modeling.

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.
