Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is listed as 'Remote / Hybrid' with no specific city or state given; no CBSA could be determined. Up to 25% OCONUS travel is required.
Clearance language states the candidate must 'currently hold an active U.S. national security clearance or be able to receive and maintain one.' The specific level is not named (Secret, Top Secret, etc.) — 'Secret' is used as the conservative default given the FMS/C4ISR context, but the actual required level may be higher.
The 7–10 years experience range is treated as a 7-year minimum for total experience.
COMSEC is listed under Required Qualifications as a standalone line item and is treated as a hard gate, though it is more of a domain familiarity requirement than a discrete tool.
Spirent and T-Berd are listed as examples of network performance/load testing tools ('e.g., Spirent, T-Berd'); they are captured as alternatives under one skill since either satisfies the requirement.
The preferred qualifications section explicitly names CCNP, CCNP Security, and CCIE as alternatives; Splunk, Vectra Networks, and Security Onion are similarly listed together as example cyber security tools.
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.
