Why we read it this way (8)
The role requires an active TS/SCI with an agency-appropriate polygraph — a hard gate explicitly stated in Required Qualifications.
Degree requirement is effectively None: the JD offers three equivalent paths — Master's + 6 years, Bachelor's + 8 years, or no degree + 12 years with an industry certification. Because equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of any degree, no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The overall years minimum is set to 6 (the lowest stated minimum, paired with a Master's degree). The full range of experience paths is 6–12 years depending on education level.
The CCNA/Arista Configuration Essentials/Juniper certification is listed as one of three substitution paths for the degree requirement, not as a standalone required certification; it is marked preferred with the named alternatives captured. The DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is separately and explicitly required.
The posting lists work locations across MD, VA, CO, TX, UT, AK, HI, and OCONUS. The CBSA is set to Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD as the most likely primary location given Wyetech's known base of operations; the actual site is not specified.
'Latte Art and supporting STE/STN and SSP compliance' appears to be a garbled or OCR-corrupted reference (possibly 'Lattice' or a classified program name) and could not be mapped to a concrete, named technology skill.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
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.
