Why we read it this way (8)
The job description states the role is located in Indianola, PA with telecommuting permitted up to 2 days per week within reasonable commuting distance. The caller has overridden this to treat the role as fully remote with a national candidate pool; metro has been left blank accordingly.
The posting requires a Master's degree in Computer Engineering or a closely related quantitative field — equivalent experience is not offered as a substitute, so this is treated as a hard degree gate.
Total experience requirement is only 1 year, but the Master's degree requirement and the highly specialized domain (Class-2 medical device software, FDA 21 CFR 820.30, IEC 62304, CANOpen CiA425) place this at Mid-level on the career ladder despite the low stated years.
The tooling list (GitHub, Artifactory, SonarQube, CI/CD Pipelines, JIRA, Confluence, RQM, VSCode) is introduced with 'and/or', indicating candidates need experience with this toolset collectively but not necessarily every individual tool. All are marked required as they appear in the hard requirements block.
RQM refers to IBM Rational Quality Manager, a requirements/test management tool used in regulated industries.
FDA 21 CFR 820.30 (Design Controls) and IEC 62304 (Software in a Medical Device) are regulatory compliance frameworks required by the posting; these are domain knowledge requirements rather than named tools and are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
Up to 10% U.S. and international travel is required.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
