Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $105,715 (middle half $85,919–$132,787). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

The posting does not specify a work location city beyond referencing 'western test ranges' for the Air Force, Space Force, and Navy. JT4's primary operations hub for western range support is Nellis AFB / Las Vegas, NV; the CBSA is a best-guess inference and should be confirmed.

The clearance requirement states the candidate 'must be able to obtain and maintain a government security clearance' without specifying the level. Given the federal defense context, Secret is the most likely minimum, but the exact level is not stated.

A bachelor's degree is listed but equivalent experience, technical training, or certifications are explicitly accepted in lieu — degree requirement is therefore treated as not hard-gated.

Hyper-V and VMware are listed together as a joint virtualization requirement; both are captured as separate required skills with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that the role manages both platforms.

Linux/Unix experience and the Citrix/RDP/ICA remote desktop stack appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked as preferred accordingly.

JSIG/RMF compliance appears under 'Desired Qualifications' and is marked preferred.

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.
