Why we read it this way (7)
The experience requirement is tiered by education level: 12 years with a high school diploma, 10 years with an associate's, 8 years with a bachelor's, 6 years with a master's, or 3 years with a PhD. The overall years minimum is set to 8 (the bachelor's-level gate, the most common baseline), but candidates with other education levels may qualify with fewer or more years.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree (the HS/AA/AS paths are explicitly offered).
The alt SOC (15-1244) reflects that a meaningful portion of the role involves systems administration tasks (patching, endpoint troubleshooting, IMAC services), though the primary focus on vulnerability scanning, STIG compliance, and cybersecurity analysis points to 15-1212.
DoD 8140 Work Role Code 462 (Control Systems Security Specialist – Intermediate) compliance is listed under Desired Qualifications with a future deadline of 1 Oct 2026; treated as preferred.
