Why we read it this way (8)
This role is primarily a graphic/visual design position supporting intelligence production — it does not map cleanly to any standard computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1255 (Web and Digital Interface Designers) is the closest available code covering design-focused digital media work, but the role is really a multimedia/graphics designer for classified intelligence products, not a web/UI designer. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as an alternative.
The clearance requirement is explicitly TS/SCI with Polygraph — the most demanding tier.
Experience minimums are tiered by degree: 16 years with no degree, 14 with AA, 12 with BS/BA, 10 with MS/MA, 7 with PhD. The lowest hard-required floor (with a degree) is 12 years (BS/BA), used as the overall years minimum. No degree is formally required — equivalent experience is accepted at every tier.
The preferred qualifications call out '12+ years of relevant experience including work within the last 2 years' and a Master's degree or Bachelor's plus 17 total years — these are preferred, not required gates.
'Infographic development' and 'multimedia production' appear only under the Preferred section and are marked accordingly.
Fort Meade, MD falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA (12580), though it is also proximate to the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA. Baltimore CBSA is used as Fort Meade is geographically within Anne Arundel County, MD.
