Cyberspace/Network Architect SME at Peraton

The title 'SME' (Subject Matter Expert) implies a very senior individual contributor; the experience floor of 16 years (BS) or 20 years (HS) and the role's function as 'HQ technical authority' support a Principal-level classification, even though the title carries no explicit seniority label.

The degree requirement is tiered: BS+16 yrs, MS+14 yrs, PhD+10 yrs, or HS+20/Associates+18 — no single minimum degree is hard-gated, so the degree requirement is set to None.

Clearance is stated as 'Active TS with ability to obtain/maintain SCI' — classified here as TopSecretSci since TS is the active gate and SCI eligibility is required.

USINDOPACOM communications architecture knowledge and mission partner connectivity are required but name no specific product or tool — omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

Prior military or DoD contractor experience in the Indo-Pacific theater is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is the only preferred skill; it names no specific technology so it is not emitted as a skill.

The SOC code 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because this role is a hybrid C4/Cyber architecture SME advisory function that does not map cleanly to Network Architects (15-1241) alone; 15-1241 is noted as the close runner-up.

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.
