Why we read it this way (7)
This is a Systems Engineering role focused on aerospace/hypersonic testing for the US Air Force — 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 the runner-up given the systems analysis and requirements work involved.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'ability to obtain a Secret clearance' (a hard gate on eligibility), with an active Secret clearance listed under Nice to Have. The role is coded as Secret-required based on the eligibility gate.
Requirements derivation/definition, requirements validation/verification, and gated design review process experience are listed under 'Nice to Have' but are methodology/process concepts rather than named technologies, so they are omitted per extraction rules.
SysML and UML are listed under 'Nice to Have' as interchangeable modeling languages and are combined into one preferred skill entry. DOORS and JAMA are similarly listed as interchangeable requirement management tools under 'Nice to Have'.
A Master's degree is listed under 'Nice to Have' and is therefore not a hard requirement; the minimum hard-required degree is a Bachelor's in an engineering discipline.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems design.
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.
