Why we read it this way (5)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance' — the posting does not specify the level. Given the aerospace/defense context and the explicit statement that visa sponsorship is unavailable, a Secret clearance is the most likely minimum; this may be higher depending on program specifics.
The title carries no seniority modifier ('Software Integration & Test Engineering Manager'), so the title states no level. The 7+ years requirement and direct people-management scope support a Senior band.
11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary classification because the role's defining responsibilities are team management, hiring, performance coaching, and program oversight — not hands-on IC test engineering. The alt code 15-1253 reflects the deep technical test/QA focus that underpins the role.
The posting lists 'Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment' experience as a required qualification; this is a process/methodology concept rather than a named technology and is therefore not captured as a skill.
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.
