Why we read it this way (9)

The role title is not stated; the posting blends Systems Engineer and Sys Admin duties (network architecture design, infrastructure oversight, rotational sysadmin support at the Pentagon). 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts was chosen as the primary code because the dominant work is analyzing requirements, designing systems/network architecture, and business process re-engineering for a DoD/IC client — but 15-1244 is a genuine runner-up given the explicit rotational Sys Admin support requirement.

Degree requirement: a BA/BS is required, but the JD also accepts an AA/AS plus 4 additional years of work-related experience as a substitute. Because a full bachelor's is the stated baseline and the AA path is an equivalency, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.

The 5-year total experience minimum includes a sub-requirement of at least 4 of those years supporting a DoW-aligned (Department of Defense) environment; this domain specificity is captured in the notes rather than as a named technology skill.

Joint Staff experience is listed under required qualifications but is a domain/context requirement rather than a named technology or tool, so it is not emitted as a skill.

JCIDS, PPBE, and DAS knowledge appear under desired qualifications and are DoD acquisition/process frameworks rather than named tools; they are omitted from the skills list as they do not map to a concrete technology.

The ABET-accredited systems engineering program graduation requirement is a hard gate stated in the required qualifications section.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems engineering, enterprise architecture.

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.
