What this job asks for AI summary

A systems engineering role focused on model-based systems engineering (MBSE), primarily using SysML tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler to develop and maintain systems architectures, operational models, and design specifications for defense aviation programs. The work involves collaborating across engineering, logistics, and program management disciplines, supporting requirements capture, risk analysis, and technical documentation. Suited to candidates with a STEM degree, an active Top Secret clearance, and hands-on MBSE modeling experience.

Why we read it this way (8)

The role is a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) / Systems Engineer position in the defense-aerospace domain — 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest fit for MBSE-focused systems engineering work; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems analysis and requirements-modeling emphasis.

The JD requires 1 year of experience with Cameo or similar MBSE software and a Bachelor's in engineering/STEM as hard gates; a Master's degree and 3+ years are listed under Preferred Qualifications only.

The clearance requirement is stated as 'Must possess a TS security clearance' — this is a hard gate for an active Top Secret clearance. TS/SCI is not explicitly mentioned, so TopSecret (not TopSecretSci) is used.

Cameo Systems Modeler and Cameo Simulation Toolkit are listed together with 'and/or' in the required section; Cameo Systems Modeler is used as the primary skill name with the Toolkit and other SysML tools captured as alternatives.

Familiarity with commercial aviation airworthiness certification processes is explicitly marked 'preferred' in the required qualifications section — treated as preferred accordingly.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): risk analysis.

Requires a Top 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.
