Why we read it this way (5)
The job title is 'Desktop Support Technician' but the actual scope — escalation handling, network troubleshooting (LAN/WAN, switches, routers, firewalls), industrial systems integration (PLCs, SCADA, IoT), patch management, security audits, and mentoring Level 1 staff — is well above entry-level desktop support, supporting a Senior seniority classification despite the title carrying no explicit level word.
The qualification path allows either 8 years of experience with a high school diploma OR 4 years with an associate's degree; the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound (4 years post-associate's). No bachelor's degree is required.
All named technologies appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Additional Skills' heading and are therefore marked as preferred rather than required.
The compensation ranges vary by geography: $68,500–$127,000 for CA, MA, NJ, WA, and Greater D.C./Denver/NYC; $59,000–$110,000 for CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NY state, and VT. The lower bound of the broader range ($59,000) and the upper bound of the higher range ($127,000) are reported.
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 as required.
