“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (7)
The salary range fields in the posting are unfilled template placeholders ('$[[cust_salaryMin]] - $[[cust_salaryMax]]'), so no compensation figures could be extracted.
Clearance: the JD requires candidates to be capable of obtaining and maintaining a DOE clearance. DOE facility access authorizations are analogous to Secret-level federal clearances; classified as Secret here. The posting does not specify TS or TS/SCI.
The role title is 'Systems Engineer – Digital Manufacturing & Systems Integration.' The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 10+ year experience requirement and lead/architect scope support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily about integrating and architecting manufacturing and enterprise digital systems (MES, ERP, SCADA, LIMS, OT/IT) rather than writing application software, making 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) the best fit. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up given the systems engineering framing.
All technical experience items are listed under a 'Desired Technical Experience … preferred' heading, so they are marked as preferred. MES and ERP integration are called out in the required qualifications section ('integrated digital and operational systems'), so those two are marked as required.
PLC, SCADA, and HMI are listed together as 'Industrial Automation (PLC, SCADA, HMI)' under the preferred section; they are distinct technologies emitted separately with cross-references in alternatives.
Requires a 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.
