Why we read it this way (5)
The degree requirement is effectively 'None' — the JD accepts a Bachelor's degree OR 3+ years of relevant software development experience as equivalent alternatives, so no degree is hard-gated.
The 3+ years figure is a role-level experience floor (stated as an alternative to a degree), set as the minimum total experience requirement.
All skills under 'Desired Experience' (C/C++, hardware datasheets, hardware bring-up, Modbus/RS485/RS232/SDI-12, ARM Cortex-M, FreeRTOS, logic analyzers, debug probes, Assembly, CMake, CI/CD, legacy code refactoring, BLE/cellular/satellite modems) are explicitly labeled as desired/preferred, not required.
The required skills section names no specific technologies — only general competencies (OOP, hardware constraints awareness, software architecture, testing fundamentals). 'Object-oriented programming' is the only concrete, extractable skill from the required section.
The role is onsite in Loveland, CO, which falls within the Fort Collins, CO CBSA (22660).
