Why we read it this way (8)
The role explicitly requires an active TS/SCI clearance and the ability to obtain a CI Poly — both are hard gates stated in the 'What You Must Have' section.
No specific named data science or analytics tools (e.g., Python, R, SQL, Tableau) are called out anywhere in the posting; the requirements reference only generic 'common data analysis tools' and 'Microsoft Windows-based platforms.' Skills are therefore captured at the capability level rather than as named products.
Scripting and automation tools, and dashboard/visual analytics experience, appear only under 'What Would be Nice to Have' and are marked preferred accordingly.
The alt SOC (15-2031 Operations Research Analysts) is noted because the role's survey exploitation and mission analytics focus has a strong analytical/reporting dimension, though the 'Data Scientist' title and statistical modeling emphasis make 15-2051 the better primary fit.
No minimum total years of experience is stated in the posting.
The pay range is stated as a Virginia-specific figure ($100,000–$128,500/year).
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data management.
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.
