Morphology
The meaning 'a person who analyzes systems' is directly derivable from combining 'system' (a collection of interacting components) with 'analyst' (someone who analyzes). This is a regular noun+noun occupational compound common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The compound systems analyst comes from the image of a person who studies a whole system, meaning all the parts that work together, and acts as an analyst, looking for problems and ways to fix them. So, a systems analyst is 'someone who studies and plans computer and work processes to make a business run better'.
