Why we read it this way (8)
Location is Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Albuquerque, NM — the posting does not name the city explicitly, but KAFB is unambiguously located in Albuquerque.
Degree requirement: the JD hard-requires only an Associate degree or military-equivalent training, and lists a Bachelor's degree only under Desired Qualifications. Because an Associate degree or its equivalent is accepted, and a Bachelor's is merely preferred, the degree requirement is set to None (no Bachelor's gate).
DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II certification is required but the candidate may obtain it within six months of hire — it is still a hard gate on the role.
eMASS appears both in the required duties (create and maintain documentation in eMASS) and as a desired qualification; it is listed as a preferred skill here because the JD frames hands-on eMASS experience explicitly under Desired Qualifications rather than Requirements.
RMF is treated as a hard gate because it is central to the stated duties and the role is explicitly described as an RMF support position; the desired qualifications section adds depth (package creation, eMASS Essentials) but the core RMF knowledge is required.
HBSS, BACnet/EMCS/FARS/UMCS, and Niagara Workbench all appear exclusively under Desired Qualifications.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a general statement that pay depends on experience and location.
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.
