Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Cybersecurity Systems Analyst' but its primary day-to-day work is Cyber Survivability Test and Evaluation (T&E) — planning, executing, and reporting on CVPAs and adversarial assessments — which maps most closely to Information Security Analysts (15-1212). A secondary case could be made for 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) given the specialized DoD T&E focus.
A polygraph is explicitly required ('must possess a current TS/SCI clearance and be able to pass a polygraph — this is non-negotiable'), so clearance is set to TopSecretSci.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly offers a no-degree pathway (12 years of experience), making a degree substitutable with experience.
Total years minimum is set to 6, reflecting the lowest experience threshold tied to a degree (Bachelor's + 6 years). The no-degree path requires 12 years; the Master's path requires only 2 years.
DAWIA T&E Level II/III or Engineering & Technical Management (ETM) Level II/III is listed as a required certification in the header; CISSP/CISM/CEH/CASP+ are listed as 'advanced industry certifications' in the same required certifications block but framed as examples of advanced certs, so they are captured as preferred with alternatives.
DoD 8570.01M compliance is listed under 'Mandatory Compliance' and is a hard gate.
The 'Preferred Skills' section largely repeats items already listed under 'Required Skills' (communication, technical writing, Microsoft Office, T&E processes). Those repeated items are captured under required; the genuinely new preferred item is 'experience working in government or test lab environments.'
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DAWIA T&E Level II/III.
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.
