Required

A Bachelor's degree and 5 years of relevant experience or a Master's degree plus 3 years of relevant experience or a Doctoral degree and 2 years of relevant experience. An Associate's degree plus 7 years of relevant experience may be considered for individuals with in-depth experience that is clearly related to the position

Degree must be in Computer Science (CS). Related fields (e.g., Engineering, Mathematics) may be considered relevant if the program contains, at minimum, a concentration of courses in the following fundamental CS areas: algorithms; computer architecture (not network architecture); programming methodologies and languages; data structures; logic and computation; and advanced mathematics (for example, calculus, discrete mathematics). Information Technology (IT) or Information Systems (IS) degrees may be considered relevant if the programs contain the amount and type of coursework equivalent to a CS major
