What this job asks for AI summary
A software engineering role focused on implementing and integrating open architecture standards — such as SOSA, FACE, AMS GRA, and UCI — across defense and aerospace systems. Day-to-day work involves developing data models and software interfaces using serialization standards like OMG IDL, Protocol Buffers, and XML Schema, as well as conducting gap analysis between multiple reference architectures. Suited to engineers with at least five years in defense or aerospace environments and hands-on experience with government interoperability frameworks.

“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is contingent upon contract funding, which may affect actual headcount.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'currently holds an active U.S. national security clearance or is able to receive and maintain one.' The posting does not specify a level (Secret, Top Secret, etc.); clearance level has been set to Secret as the minimum reasonable interpretation for a defense role with this language. Hiring managers should confirm the actual required level.
The core standards requirement (SOSA, FACE, AMS GRA, UCI) is framed as 'one or more' — candidates need demonstrated experience with at least one, not all four. The alternatives field captures this interchangeability.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a technical discipline 'or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
S1000D and familiarity with standards bodies (SISO, IEEE, W3C, OMG) appear only under the 'Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)' section.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting despite a reference to a pay scale.
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.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
