We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The only hard-gated technical skill in the Minimum Required Qualifications section is Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). All other technical skills (CI/CD, DevSecOps, Agile, cloud platforms, etc.) appear only under the Preferred Qualifications section and are treated as preferred.
A TS clearance with SCI eligibility is explicitly required — mapped to TopSecretSci.
Education (Bachelor's or Master's) is listed under Preferred Qualifications only, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
The 3+ years of experience figure appears under Preferred Qualifications, not Minimum Required Qualifications; however, it is the only experience figure stated and is used as the overall years minimum as a reasonable proxy for the role's level.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is a DoD systems engineering / mission integration position that sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the broader Computer Occupations catch-all (15-1299). The day-to-day work — translating operational requirements into technical solutions, architecture development, integration, and acquisition lifecycle support — aligns most closely with 15-1211.
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.
