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 (10)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role appears to be on-site at a General Dynamics facility given the clearance and citizenship requirements.
The posting requires a DoD Top Secret clearance — not TS/SCI — so clearance is set to TopSecret.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
Total years minimum is 8, reflecting the Bachelor's + 8 years path (the Master's + 6 years path is an alternative, not a lower floor).
The role is primarily server/systems administration (physical and virtual servers, OS support, troubleshooting, scripting for automation) with some systems-analysis flavor — 15-1244 is the best fit, with 15-1211 as a plausible runner-up given the front-line user interface and systems analysis language.
Networking (firewalls, VPNs, IDS), AWS experience, and all AWS certifications appear only under the 'What sets you apart' section, which is framed as differentiating/preferred rather than required.
RHEL, STIG/IAVM, scripting, server administration, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure are drawn from the 'What you bring to the table' required qualifications section.
The scripting skill reflects the explicit requirement to 'create scripts to automate repetitive processes'; no specific scripting language is named.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): server administration.
Requires a Top 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.
