Waleed,
As Pir sahib said there's no harm in applying. But usually the rule of thumb is that if you don't know what the job requirements mean then the position is not something up your alley. But then again the person who wrote the job requirements wanted to impress someone by using fancy, long words and messed it all up for you.
