Why we read it this way (8)
The posting titles this role 'Systems Engineer Level 4', which maps to a senior individual-contributor band given the 10-year minimum experience requirement (with a Bachelor's degree).
Degree requirement is marked None because the JD offers multiple equivalent paths: Bachelor's + 10 years, Master's + 8 years, PhD + 6 years, or High School/GED + 14 years — no single degree level is a hard gate.
Total years minimum is set to 10, the lowest qualifying threshold (Bachelor's + 10 years path).
A Maryland Polygraph is explicitly required alongside TS/SCI; this is captured under TopSecretSci clearance as the schema does not have a separate polygraph field.
The posting explicitly states 'No CCAs will be accepted at this time,' meaning candidates with Conditional Clearance Approvals are excluded.
SOC confidence is Low: the role blends systems integration, Linux administration, and RF/signals domain work — it could reasonably fall under Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) or Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244). The integration and software-interface focus edges it toward 15-1211.
Very few concrete named technologies are listed beyond Linux and RF spectrum; the posting is light on specific tooling.
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.
