What this job asks for AI summary
A network engineering role focused on designing, deploying, and maintaining network infrastructure — including firewalls and switches — in compliance with DISA standards for a government contractor. The position involves troubleshooting complex network issues, maintaining technical documentation, and acting as a subject matter expert. It suits a candidate with a relevant degree, some hands-on networking experience, and the ability to obtain a Secret-level security clearance.

Why we read it this way (9)
Location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA could be determined. The role is at a government contractor (Scientific Research Corporation) and involves field work with 10–15% travel, so it is almost certainly on-site.
The role blends network architecture design (suggesting 15-1241 Computer Network Architects) with hands-on installation, configuration, and maintenance (suggesting 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators). 15-1244 was chosen as primary because the day-to-day duties lean operational/hands-on; 15-1241 is the runner-up.
The required experience range is stated as '2–4 years'; the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound of 2.
A Secret-level clearance is explicitly required (eligibility to obtain counts as a gate per the posting's language). US citizenship is also required.
CCNA/CCNP are listed under 'Desired Skills' and treated as preferred. CCNA is the primary skill name with CCNP as an alternative since the posting frames them as interchangeable certifications.
SpeedGoat is listed in the posting alongside Tenable and Wireshark as a network diagnostic/monitoring tool; it is a niche/less-common product and has been omitted as it is not a widely canonical tool name — Tenable and Wireshark are retained as the recognizable named tools.
Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook are listed under Requirements; Outlook was omitted as a skill since it is not a technical gate relevant to this network engineering role, but Word and Excel are retained as explicitly required by the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network architecture design.
Requires a 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.
