Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Telecommunications Analyst' but the day-to-day work is squarely systems/network administration of VoIP and telephony infrastructure — operating, patching, configuring, and troubleshooting servers and telecom hardware — making 15-1244 the best fit. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized telecom focus.
The 7-year minimum is stated explicitly as experience 'supporting VoIP or telephony systems in a systems administrator or engineer role' — applied as the role-level experience floor.
An Active Secret clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate; U.S. citizenship (no dual citizenship) is also required.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided.
The role is fully onsite at Annapolis Junction, MD (within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson CBSA); a rotational 24x7 on-call schedule is required.
Avaya ACR (Automatic Call Recording) is listed alongside other Avaya platform components; it is subsumed under the broader Avaya platform skills rather than emitted as a separate skill, as it is a feature/module rather than a standalone product.
The COVID-19 vaccination requirement referenced (Executive Order 14042) was subsequently enjoined and is likely moot, but is noted here as it appeared in the original posting.
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.
