We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.

Why we read it this way (8)

This role is explicitly restricted to 'current and active C2BMC personnel only' — the candidate pool is extremely narrow by design.

The clearance gate is an active Top Secret at time of application; TS/SCI eligibility is also required but the full TS/SCI is listed as preferred rather than a hard start requirement. The clearance requirement field reflects the hard gate (Top Secret).

Experience requirements vary by degree: 12 years with a Bachelor's, 10 years with a Master's, or 8 years with a PhD. The minimum (10 years with a Master's, which is 'preferred') is used for the overall years minimum; the absolute floor with a PhD is 8 years.

The role title includes 'Engineering Mgr' and the posting describes direct team oversight, cost/schedule accountability, and Control Account ownership — consistent with a people-management role mapped to 11-3021. The alt code 15-1299 reflects the strong Systems Engineering technical content.

Agility (VersionOne/Agility) is listed alongside Jira and Confluence as an Agile tooling example in the required section; it is captured under the Agile skill rather than as a separate entry because it is presented as an interchangeable example within the same tooling requirement.

The 'Staff' seniority reflects the cross-team engineering management scope and 10–12 year experience gate, not merely the title word 'Staff' in the job title.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering.

Requires a Top 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.
