We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
This role is primarily a people-management and program management position within a medical device product development organization — it is not a computer/mathematical occupation in the BLS sense. 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the closest available code, but the role is really a Product Development Program Management Manager in a regulated medical device (MedTech) context. The alt code 15-1299 is noted as a distant runner-up; neither is a strong fit.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting. Intuitive Surgical is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, but the JD does not confirm this as the work site.
The degree requirement is 'BS degree required (or equivalent experience)' — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, this is treated as no hard degree gate.
The JD states '4+ years of experience leading teams in medical device product development' and '5+ years' of project/program management skills as separate requirements; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the higher of the two role-level minimums).
The '1+ year of additional experience leading engineering projects or managing subordinates' requirement appears to be additive to the 4+ years of medical device experience, but is captured under the team management skill rather than inflating the overall years minimum further.
Skills listed under 'Nice to have' (surgical terminology, passion for program management advancement, etc.) are treated as preferred. Most 'Nice to have' items are soft skills or personal attributes and are not emitted as concrete named technologies.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting despite a reference to 'target compensation ranges are listed' — likely truncated in the source text.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): medical device product development, project/program management, team management, software process and development.
