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

Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a specialized aerospace Software Configuration Management (SCM) Lead — it sits at the intersection of aviation regulatory compliance, software lifecycle management, and process leadership rather than squarely in any standard computer occupation. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the process/compliance focus.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 10+ year minimum and the scope (leading a team, owning company-level CM plans, interfacing with FAA) firmly support a Senior classification.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'Preferred' and explicitly allows 'equivalent education and experience,' so no hard degree requirement is set.
DO-178C and DO-254 are listed together as a single requirement ('RTCA DO-178C or RTCA DO-254'); DO-254 is captured as an alternative to DO-178C.
Polarion (ALM) and 3DExperience (PLM) appear under a secondary 'Preferred' framing ('valued'), so both are marked preferred. Common equivalents are noted in their alternatives.
Supply chain, quality, and engineering background is listed as a required contextual qualifier but names no specific technology or tool, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
'Above and Beyond Qualifications' items (end-to-end certification experience, root cause analysis, test program change volume) are aspirational extras and are not captured as skills.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Aerospace Configuration Management.
