Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Sr. Assoc, Software Engineering' and the job description's own framing as 'intermediate career-level professional' indicate this is effectively a mid-level role despite the 'Sr.' prefix in the title — advertised as Senior but requirements (minimum 2 years, 1 year of C#) support only a Mid classification.
C# and Visual Studio are explicitly required with 1 year of experience; Java is stated as 'a potential substitute' for C#, captured in alternatives.
The degree requirement accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree ('minimum of 6 years of prior related experience'), so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The posting notes that many L3Harris positions require the ability to obtain a security clearance, but this specific role does not explicitly gate on one — no clearance is marked required.
WPF/XAML, Azure DevOps (Git source control), SOLID principles, design patterns, and UML all appear under 'Preferred Additional Skills' and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
