Why we read it this way (9)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role's primary work is EW/SIGINT test and evaluation — analyzing signals intelligence systems, conducting security/vulnerability assessments, and evaluating EW capabilities — which aligns most closely with 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts). However, the role also involves significant systems engineering, test design, and data acquisition work that could support 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other); that is listed as the runner-up.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or Data Science) is listed under an 'Education' heading without an 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard gate.
The 6-year experience requirement is explicitly tied to SIGINT systems design/development/maintenance/operation; a separate 3-year requirement is tied specifically to NAVAIR/NAWCAD experience — both are captured on those skills.
Windows/Linux administration, network configuration/analysis, scripting, and database/code review are listed together in the required qualifications narrative; database/code review is omitted as it names no specific tool.
MATLAB, ELINT, and COMINT appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked preferred accordingly.
'Data Analysis Tools' under Desired Qualifications names no specific product and is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
The role is on-site at Patuxent River, MD (part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA); remote=false.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): EW Test and Evaluation, network configuration.
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.
