Why we read it this way (6)
MS Project and Primavera are listed together as schedule planning tools under required qualifications; both are named explicitly and treated as a paired requirement (either satisfies the tool category, but both are listed as demonstrated experience).
The role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, program management, and tool development — it is not a pure software developer role nor a pure analyst role. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) was selected as the best fit given the emphasis on systems integration, schedule tool design, and enterprise data visualization; 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative given the program management and schedule-focused nature of the work.
The TS/SCI requirement includes a polygraph ('pass a poly'), captured as TopSecretSci.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in Systems Engineering or related STEM field with no equivalent-experience substitution offered.
Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) is listed as a required demonstrated competency; it is a named artifact/methodology central to the role rather than a generic concept, so it is retained as a skill.
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.
