Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a genuine hybrid between industrial controls/PLC engineering and cybersecurity. The primary framing is cybersecurity (driving SDL, vulnerability remediation, security posture) but a substantial portion of day-to-day work is hands-on PLC/HMI/automation development — making 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) and 15-1252 (Software Developers) both plausible. 15-1212 was chosen because the posting explicitly positions cybersecurity as the lead specialty and the role title calls it a 'Cybersecurity Controls Engineer'.
No specific work location is stated in the posting beyond 'U.S. based position'; the CBSA and state fields are left blank accordingly.
The 5-year overall experience requirement is stated as 'in industrial controls, automation, embedded software, or related fields'; the 2–3 year SDL requirement is a domain-specific gate captured as the Secure Development Lifecycle skill.
Redfish protocol is explicitly called out as 'nice to have' in the qualifications section and is marked preferred.
Function Block Diagrams, Structured Text, and Ladder Logic are listed as interchangeable PLC programming languages ('depending on system requirements') and are captured as one skill with alternatives.
The degree requirement states 'BS in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Controls Engineering, Cybersecurity, or related discipline' with no equivalent-experience escape clause, so Bachelors is treated as a hard requirement.
The compensation range of $101,600–$152,400 per year includes base pay and short-term incentives, as stated in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): HMI development, Secure Development Lifecycle.
