What this job asks for AI summary
An entry-level testing role embedded in an Agile team building software for Navy signals intelligence, radar, and communications prototypes.

How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $106,594 (middle half $82,076–$136,109). 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 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; the role involves up to 10% travel within the continental US, suggesting an on-site or hybrid arrangement at an unspecified CACI facility supporting a Navy customer.
The posting explicitly describes this as an 'entry-level role,' supporting the Junior seniority classification despite the wide salary band ($66,700–$133,300/year), which likely reflects CACI's broad pay structure across locations and contract categories.
Clearance: candidates must be US Citizens with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI DoD clearance; an active clearance is not required to start (Minimum Clearance Required to Start: None), but the ability to obtain TS/SCI is a hard gate.
Python, Bash, and Java are listed together as 'at least one' scripting/programming language — Python is named first and most prominently; Bash and Java are captured as alternatives. Similarly, PyTest, JUnit, and Selenium are listed as examples of test frameworks under the required section.
Networking/data distribution protocols (Vita49.2, TCP, UDP, Sockets, ActiveMQ, DDS, Wireshark) and DevSecOps tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI) appear under the Desired section; only the most tool-specific items are surfaced as preferred skills.
RF systems and DSP concepts are called out as an interest/plus under Desired and are too conceptual to emit as named skills.
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.
