Why we read it this way (6)
This is an entry-level / early-career role: the title includes 'Associate' and the qualifications gate on candidates currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or having completed one within the last 12 months — no prior professional experience is required.
The posting notes that many L3Harris positions require the ability to obtain a security clearance, but this specific role does not hard-gate on holding or obtaining one.
The skills listed (test planning, manual testing, functional/regression testing, Agile/Scrum, defect tracking) are drawn from the Essential Functions section, which serves as the de facto requirements block. Performance, exploratory, and usability testing are framed as skills to 'develop' rather than existing competencies, so they are marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The role follows a 9/80 compressed schedule (every other Friday off) — not remote.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Test planning.
