What this job asks for AI summary
An entry-level systems engineering role focused on electronic warfare and RF signal processing. Day-to-day work involves defining system architectures, decomposing requirements, developing and testing signal processing and software-defined RF algorithms, and evaluating the performance of developmental EW systems. Suited to a recent STEM master's graduate with some exposure to model-based engineering and system architecture, who holds an active DoD Secret clearance.

“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (10)
This is an early-career / new-graduate role: the JD explicitly caps professional experience at '12 months or less (excluding internships)', making it Junior despite the Master's degree requirement.
The advertised title is simply 'Systems Engineer' with no level modifier — advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified.
A Master's degree in a STEM field is a hard requirement ('obtained by start date'). No equivalent-experience substitution is offered.
An active, existing Secret clearance is required on Day 1 — not merely the ability to obtain one. The JD states 'Active and existing security clearance required on day 1.'
SOC classification is Medium-confidence: the role spans systems engineering, requirements management, and signal-processing algorithm work, sitting between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the broader Computer Occupations catch-all (15-1299). It is not primarily software development.
The preferred skills section lists MATLAB, Python, C++, PathWave ADS, AMD Vivado, and PathWave EMPro as a grouped 'and/or' list; they are captured as separate preferred skills rather than a single combined token because they are distinct tools used for different purposes.
The broad salary range ($68,900–$131,100/year) is explicitly described by RTX as 'representative of all experience levels' and is not specific to this early-career band.
Relocation assistance is noted as eligible.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): system architecture, requirements management, model-based engineering.
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.
