Why we read it this way (6)
The SOC classification is a close call between Data Scientists (15-2051) and Operations Research Analysts (15-2031). The role combines ML/predictive modeling (pointing to 15-2051) with heavy modeling & simulation and DoD logistics decision-support work (pointing to 15-2031). Data Scientists was chosen as primary given the explicit AI/ML framework requirements and algorithm development emphasis.
No security clearance is explicitly required or mentioned as a gate in this posting, though the Pentagon location and DoD program context make an active clearance highly likely in practice. Candidates should be prepared for a clearance requirement during the hiring process.
TensorFlow and PyTorch are listed together under required qualifications with 'such as' framing, indicating they are interchangeable examples of AI/ML frameworks rather than both independently required — each is captured with the other as an alternative.
Python and R are similarly listed as interchangeable alternatives throughout the required qualifications; both are captured with the other as an alternative.
TFSMS, GCSS-MC, and MCPIC are niche DoD logistics systems listed under required qualifications with a 'familiarity with' qualifier, but they appear in the required section and are gated with 'and the ability to manipulate these data sources' — treated as required.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
