what struct me actually is this: > Typically 2-5+ years of experience. (...) Possibly lead a small team or project. Ability to mentor engineers (...)

WHAT?

I don't know a profession with high knowledge requirements where after 2 years you can and are expected as a job req to manage a team.

This speaks to me two things: a. a lot of staff is young and unexperienced b. rotation in segment <5 is big

It’s not “manage” but “lead”. Which basically means the technical aspects. Certainly I’ve seen lots of great leadership from people with 2-5 years experience.
