Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role appears to be on-site given the lab collaboration context, but remote status cannot be confirmed.
The role sits at the intersection of firmware/embedded development and test engineering. The primary framing is test leadership and validation (HiL, test cases, automation), which points to 15-1253; however, the firmware center-of-excellence context and embedded development duties make 15-1252 a genuine runner-up.
The 6-year total experience requirement is stated as 'in test engineering'; the 3-year sub-requirements are listed as concurrent and cover multiple specific areas — all are treated as hard gates per the posting's 'Requires' language.
The Rockwell/Siemens requirement is phrased as 'Interfacing with Rockwell or Siemens,' so these are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same requirement.
'Test driven development' and 'simulation' appear in the same required list as the other engineering practices but name no specific tool; they are omitted from the skills list per the no-generic-concepts rule.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test case development.
