Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists two locations: the body specifies '100% onsite – Deer Valley, AZ' (a district of Phoenix), while the footer metadata states 'Atlanta, GA'. The Deer Valley/Phoenix location is treated as authoritative since it appears in the role description itself.
The title carries no seniority level word; the 3+ years requirement and scope of independent lab work map to a Mid-level band.
A Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or CS field is listed as a requirement, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent work experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.
DO-178C knowledge is explicitly flagged as 'highly preferred' in the posting, so it is marked as preferred rather than required.
The role sits between QA/testing (15-1253) and software development (15-1252) because it involves writing Python code and using Git with code reviews, but the primary day-to-day work is hardware validation and test execution, which aligns more closely with 15-1253.
