Why we read it this way (9)
The role is posted as 'ESI Systems Engineering Manager 2' — a people-management position with direct reports, performance reviews, and functional management of a team (T01–T05 grade levels), which maps to 11-3021. The alt code 15-1299 reflects the heavy systems-engineering technical content that could place it in an IC-adjacent occupation.
Two locations are listed: Roy, UT (Ogden-Clearfield CBSA) and Huntsville, AL. Roy, UT is listed first and is the primary Sentinel/GBSD program site; Huntsville, AL is the secondary option.
Experience requirement is stated as '8 years with a Bachelor's or 6 years with a Master's' — 8 years is used as the overall years minimum (the minimum for the most common degree path).
An active Secret clearance is a hard gate for start ('CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes'). Active Top-Secret clearance appears only under 'Nice to Have' and is therefore preferred.
Earned Value Management (EVM) and EVMS are both listed as required; they refer to the same discipline but the JD names both EVM experience and EVMS tracking as distinct required competencies, so both are retained.
Agile, Confluence, and Jira appear only under 'These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have' and are therefore preferred.
Most 'Nice to Have' items are soft skills, leadership qualities, or domain experience (ICBM/Sentinel, PDR/CDR milestones) rather than named tools — these are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering, Earned Value Management.
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.
