What this job asks for AI summary

A senior technical lead role supporting the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) program. The position centers on end-to-end integration across space, ground, and user segments — covering design reviews, gap analysis, requirements verification, and modeling and simulation work. It suits an experienced space systems engineer with a TS/SCI clearance and a background leading technical teams on complex satellite and ground segment architectures.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.

Why we read it this way (8)

This role is a space/defense systems engineering technical lead — it does not map cleanly to any standard computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the systems analysis and integration focus.

Location is inferred as the Washington DC metro area based on BryceTech's headquarters and the SDA (Space Development Agency) client, which is headquartered in Chantilly, VA. The posting does not explicitly state a work location.

The 10-year minimum experience requirement is tied explicitly to MS&A tools in the Required section; it is also treated as the overall role-level minimum given no separate total-experience figure is stated.

The preferred '12 years' experience with satellite fire control systems' is listed under Preferred and carries its own year figure — captured as a preferred skill with the years demanded of 12.

A Master's degree in STEM is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's in STEM.

Generic concepts such as 'technical leadership,' 'gap analysis,' 'problem-solving,' and 'oral/written communication' were omitted from the skills list as they name no specific technology or tool.

Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): modeling, simulation and analysis (MS&A), space systems engineering, requirements verification and validation, satellite fire control systems, DoD/IC customer experience.

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.
