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 (8)
The posting explicitly titles this role 'Systems Administrator (Mid-Level)', which aligns with the experience requirements (2 years with a Bachelor's, or 4 years with a High School diploma/GED).
Degree requirement is marked None because the JD explicitly accepts a High School Diploma/GED with 4 years of experience as an alternative to a Bachelor's degree.
The IAT Level II certification requirement names Security+, CompTIA A+, and Network+ as alternatives — any one of the three satisfies the gate; Security+ is listed first and is the most common for this role.
Windows Server 2008/2012/2016 is mentioned in the required section; Windows 10, 2012, 2016, 2019, RHEL 6/7, and Cisco IOS appear in a separate experience bullet still within the requirements block and are treated as hard gates.
HBSS, eMASS, ACAS, SCAP, VRAM, and DIACAP/RMF appear under 'Additional desired experience and skills' and are therefore preferred.
No salary figures are published in the posting body despite a reference to a range 'at the top of this posting'; no compensation values could be extracted.
The role is on-site at Middletown, RI (NUWC Division); up to 10% travel is required.
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.
