What the occupation pays Median $95,219 (middle half $80,472–$115,015). 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 (6)

The role spans two grade levels: L06 (1 year of experience, $55K–$68K/year) and L07 (2 years of experience, $60K–$82K/year); the overall years minimum reflects the lower L06 gate of 1 year. The salary range shown covers both grades combined.

A bachelor's degree in an IT-related field is listed as a basic qualification, but the JD explicitly accepts 4+ years of IT-related experience in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The clearance requirement is stated as 'must be able to obtain and maintain a Security Clearance' — the specific level is not named in the posting, but the DoD/Air Force context (AEDC, STIGs, DoD policies) strongly implies at minimum a Secret clearance; classified as Secret accordingly.

Windows 11, STIGs, and cybersecurity compliance duties appear in the core job duties section and are treated as hard gates. Microsoft 365, CompTIA certifications, MS Visio, and Windows imaging experience are listed under Preferred Qualifications.

Arnold AFB is located in Coffee County, TN, which falls within the Tullahoma, TN micro area — not the Nashville CBSA. The nearest named CBSA is Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN (34980), used as the best available metro approximation; the actual work site is Arnold AFB near Tullahoma, TN.

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.
