We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.

Why we read it this way (5)

SOC classification is a genuine judgement call: Industrial Control Systems / PLC engineering sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other — the closest match for embedded/industrial controls work) and 15-1252 Software Developers. The role is primarily writing and maintaining control software (PLC programs, HMI logic), which leans toward 15-1252, but the industrial/OT context and the absence of a conventional software-development lifecycle make 15-1299 the better fit.

Rockwell Allen-Bradley, Schneider, and Siemens PLCs are listed together with 'and/or' as a single requirement; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives on one skill gate.

IEC programming languages (Ladder, SFC, Structured Text, FBD), Profibus/Ethernet/Modbus+ networks, HMI development, and servo/motion programming all appear under the 'Bonus experience' heading and are marked preferred accordingly.

No total years of experience, compensation range, or employment type is stated in the posting.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs, IEC 61131 Ladder Logic, HMI development.
