Why we read it this way (4)

The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in CS/CE/EE 'or equivalent professional experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) appears in both the required duties narrative and the preferred qualifications section. It is listed as a concrete technology in the responsibilities section but is explicitly called out as 'preferred experience' in the qualifications block; it is marked preferred accordingly.

Medical device standards (IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 62366, FDA QSR) and cybersecurity/secure-communication experience all appear under the 'Preferred Experience and Qualifications' heading.

Experience mentoring engineers or serving as a technical lead is listed as preferred but names no specific technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
