Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits at the boundary between a senior individual contributor and a people manager: the title is 'Principal Engineer' and the JD emphasizes technical leadership, but the role also carries explicit team-lead, CAM (Control Account Manager), and mentoring responsibilities. It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary day-to-day work is technical software leadership on an embedded program, but Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021) is a credible alternative given the budget, earned-value, and team-management duties.
The RTOS requirement lists specific examples (Green Hills Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, Linux) as illustrative options ('e.g.'); these are captured as alternatives rather than separate required skills. The hard gate is experience with *an* embedded RTOS, not any one specific product.
The 'at least two of the following' phrasing for Embedded C, Embedded Software Security, Software Architecture Design, and Software Integration and Qualification means no single one of these is individually required. The primary skill (Embedded C) is marked required to represent the gate, with the others listed as alternatives — a candidate satisfying any two of the four meets the requirement.
Preferred qualifications include EVMS certification, PM certification, and program management tools (IMP, IMS, BCR, EAC); these are listed under 'Qualifications We Prefer' and are not hard gates.
The advertised title is 'Principal Engineer,' but the scope and 8-year minimum experience requirement are consistent with a Senior-level role on a standard career ladder; 'Principal' here appears to be a Raytheon internal title rather than an org-wide technical authority role.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Earned Value Management (EVMS).
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.
