Why we read it this way (7)
This is a student internship gated on current enrollment in a University of Hawaii undergraduate or graduate program — not a standard professional hire. No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated.
The role spans cybersecurity, IT, networking, and general engineering research; it was mapped to Information Security Analysts (15-1212) as the closest fit given the 'Cyber Defense' framing and DoD/NIWC context, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable alternative given the breadth.
No hard-required named technologies appear in the posting. The skills listed under 'Preferred' (programming, networking, systems administration, cybersecurity principles) are all optional and appear only in the secondary 'Preferred' section.
The fixed $25.00/hr rate is stated as a 'general guideline only' and not a guarantee; it is reported as-is.
No security clearance is explicitly required, though the role supports DoD/Navy partners. Candidates should be prepared for a background investigation process.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems administration.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
