Why we read it this way (6)
The job title includes '#Entry Level' in the hashtag section, but the body requires 2–5 years of experience in 3G/4G/5G/LTE and hands-on protocol analysis skills — the role is classified as Mid-level based on actual requirements.
The stated 2–5 years of experience is listed as 'preferred' in the education/experience header, but the qualifications section uses firm language ('hands-on experience', 'strong knowledge', 'previous experience') for the same technologies — skills are marked required accordingly.
The degree requirement is an Associate's degree in a technical field, but no language gates on it (no 'must have' or 'required'), so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard requirement.
The CBSA code 14740 corresponds to the Seattle-Bellevue-Kent, WA Metro Division; the broader Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue MSA is 42660. Bellevue, WA is used as stated in the posting.
5G NSA, 5G SA, and SIM OTA testing appear under the qualifications section but are framed with softer language ('good knowledge and familiarity', 'previous test experience') — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided; the posting states the role is hourly but gives no rate.
