A senior-level network and systems engineering role focused on designing, building, and maintaining multi-classification networks — up to TS/SCI — that underpin Live, Virtual, and Constructive military training environments. Day-to-day work spans translating operational training requirements into technical designs, integrating VMware and simulator systems, supporting RMF/ICD-503 accreditation, and producing formal documentation for government stakeholders. Suits an experienced engineer with a current TS/SCI clearance and a background in defense or Navy environments.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the role appears to support DoD/Navy LVC training environments but no city or state is mentioned.
The 8–10 year experience requirement is stated under 'Minimum Requirements' — 8 years is used as the floor.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under 'Desired Experience/Qualifications' (preferred), not as a hard requirement, so the degree requirement is set to None.
VMware and RMF/ICD-503 experience both appear only under 'Desired Experience/Qualifications,' so they are marked as preferred rather than required.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends network design/engineering (15-1244) with systems integration and some software-adjacent work (LVC simulator integration, virtual stacks); 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative given the specialized DoD LVC domain.
An active TS/SCI clearance is explicitly required ('Must have an Active Top Secret/SCI US Government Clearance').
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network engineering.
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.
