Day-to-day work spans supervising staff, developing software reliability specifications and verification methods, and building predictive maintenance architectures using physics-based, machine learning, or hybrid prognostic models. The role splits between functional people management and direct program execution responsibilities.

Why we read it this way (8)
This is a people-management role (Section Manager with direct reports, performance reviews, salary decisions, hiring authority) mapped to 11-3021. However, the JD also describes substantial hands-on technical work in software reliability, CBM+, and prognostic model development, making 15-1299 a plausible runner-up.
The title 'Software Reliability Systems Engineering Manager 2' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. The 8-year minimum experience and management scope support a Senior classification.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a STEM discipline with 8 years of experience, or a Master's with 6 years. Because no equivalent-experience substitution is offered for the degree itself, Bachelor's is set as the minimum hard requirement.
The 2-year experience gate covers 'at least one of' Software Design/Analysis or Prognostic Model development — these are listed as interchangeable alternatives under the required qualifications.
Management experience (2+ years), MBSE/Cameo/SysML, FMEA/FMECA, ReliaSoft/MADe, EVMS, and Teamcenter/CPLM/Workday/Concur/SAP all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
An active Secret clearance is required at time of application; the ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance is listed only as a preferred qualification.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Software Design/Analysis.
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.
