What this job asks for AI summary
A senior systems engineer role supporting U.S. Intelligence Community programs — primarily NGA/NSG/ASG geospatial intelligence systems — at a government contractor. The position guides junior and mid-level engineers through requirements engineering, systems integration, architecture analysis, and acquisition support across large-scale, multi-agency System of Systems environments in cloud, on-premise, and hybrid infrastructures. Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
Senior level · 12+ years · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · Bachelor's required · TS/SCI clearance

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is for a government contractor role supporting NGA/NSG/ASG programs; while no specific work location is stated, the nature of the work (NGA, NSG/ASG, NRO enterprise knowledge, TS/SCI CI Poly) strongly implies the National Capital Region / Springfield, VA area.
Degree requirement: a Bachelor's in a STEM or related field is required, but the JD explicitly accepts 4 years of additional experience in lieu of any degree, or 2 years in lieu of a non-STEM degree. Because a degree-equivalent path is offered, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors as the stated baseline — candidates without a degree may still qualify via the experience substitution.
The CI Polygraph is explicitly listed as a hard requirement alongside TS/SCI clearance.
Several 'Desired' items (Master's degree, MBSE, Software Development Frameworks, CSEP certification, photogrammetry/remote sensing expertise, professional engineering licensure, professional organization membership) are captured as preferred skills where they map to a concrete named technology or credential.
Generic methodologies and domain knowledge phrases (PPBES Process, Analysis of Alternatives, Trade Studies, risk management, interface design, photogrammetry, remote sensing, image science) were omitted from the skills list as they do not name a specific tool or technology platform.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because Systems Engineering as practiced here — spanning requirements, architecture, acquisition, and integration across large government programs — does not map cleanly to any single standard SOC; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, DoD/IC Acquisition Process, Requirements Engineering, Service Oriented Architecture, Model Based Systems Engineering.
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.
