Why we read it this way (4)
The role blends QA/testing responsibilities (functional, integration, and regression testing of Ignition features) with SCADA configuration, deployment, and Tier 2 support — making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). QA and testing are listed first and appear to be a primary function, so 15-1253 was chosen, but 15-1252 is a close runner-up given the scripting and configuration ownership.
Ignition certification is listed under Preferred, but hands-on Ignition experience is clearly implied as a hard gate given the role's entire focus on Ignition-based solutions; it is marked required accordingly.
PLC/RTU communications (Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA) are listed under Required as a group; each protocol is extracted as a separate required skill.
Git and REST API integrations appear under Preferred qualifications. LoRa/cellular wireless telemetry also appears under Preferred; 'cellular' was not emitted as a separate skill as it names a general technology category rather than a specific tool.
