Why we read it this way (6)
The role is primarily a field/systems deployment engineering role for industrial robotics — it sits at the intersection of hardware deployment, project management, and IT/network systems. SOC 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the closest fit given the emphasis on network configuration, systems troubleshooting, and systems administration; however, the scripting/automation and SRE language in the preferred qualifications creates some overlap with 15-1252 (Software Developers).
The posting lists two hub locations (Boston, MA and Bellevue, WA) with identical salary bands. Boston is used as the primary CBSA; the Bellevue/Seattle metro (CBSA 42660) is an equally valid location for this role.
The scripting requirement ('experience working in at least two of these languages: Python, Java, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Bash/Shell') is listed under Basic Qualifications. Python is used as the primary skill name with the full list of alternatives captured.
The 1+ year experience requirement is the stated minimum; the role's scope (leading cross-functional teams, managing budgets, on-site project management) is consistent with a Mid-level engineer, not entry-level Junior.
The preferred qualifications reference SRE, DevOps, systems administration, and configuration management tools (Puppet, Chef, Ansible) — these are listed under Preferred Qualifications and are not hard gates.
The role requires 75%+ travel across North America and relocation to one of four hub cities (Seattle, Boston, Nashville, or Austin); it is not remote.
