Why we read it this way (8)
The posting titles this role 'Cyber Security Engineer' but the described duties — ATO package management, RMF lifecycle support, policy enforcement, and security assessments — align squarely with Information Security Analyst work rather than engineering or software development.
eMASS experience appears in both the Basic Qualifications (hard gate) and the Preferred Qualifications sections; it is treated as required based on its placement in the Basic Qualifications block.
All other named tools and frameworks (RMF, ACAS, STIG Viewer, Evaluate-STIG, SCAP, NIST SP 800-53/800-37) appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
The 10+ years requirement is stated in the Basic Qualifications as 'related work experience,' making it a role-level gate. The preferred qualifications add more granular experience thresholds for specific sub-disciplines (DoD IT/cybersecurity, A&A, RMF, Army CS, eMASS, scanning tools), each listed separately.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Travel expectation is approximately 25%, noted here as it is not captured in any structured field.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-37.
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.
