Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Associate Wireless Software Engineer' and explicit welcome of recent graduates and PhD candidates firmly places this at the Junior level.
The role spans wireless firmware, Linux user-space/driver development, and cloud systems integration — a genuine embedded/wireless software engineering role. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as an alt given the specialized wireless/embedded focus, but 15-1252 is the better fit since the primary work is writing software.
Degree requirement: the JD lists 'Bachelor's or Master's degree … or a related field' as a Basic Qualification with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so Bachelors is treated as the minimum hard requirement.
CJIS certification is listed as a post-offer condition of employment (fingerprint background check), not a US government security clearance — clearance is set to None.
All 'Nice to Have' skills (wireless standards, microcontrollers, SDR, Linux low-level, databases) are explicitly labeled 'a bonus, not a requirement' and are marked preferred accordingly.
ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino are listed together as interchangeable single-board computer / microcontroller examples; SDR and USRP are similarly grouped. They are consolidated into representative skill entries with alternatives.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated; the role targets recent graduates.
