Why we read it this way (7)
This is a CNC/NC Programmer role — a manufacturing/machining occupation that sits at the boundary of computer occupations and production/manufacturing. No SOC code in the allowed list cleanly fits; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest available option, but BLS would more naturally classify this under 51-4012 (Numerical Tool and Process Control Programmers), which is not in the permitted enum.
Mastercam is listed in the Duties section with strong 'demonstrates proficiency' language and is the central tool of the role; treated as a hard requirement.
G-code knowledge is stated as 'fluent' in the Requirements section; treated as a hard requirement.
CAD/solid modeling, CATIA, Microsoft Office, and ERP are all explicitly flagged as 'preferred' or 'beneficial' in the posting.
4- and 5-axis experience and Boeing blueprint knowledge are called out as a 'plus'; not treated as hard gates.
ITAR US Person status is required — the role is restricted to US citizens, lawful permanent residents, refugees, or asylees. This is not a formal security clearance but is a meaningful eligibility gate.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Solid modeling.
