Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the boundary between QA/test automation (15-1253) and software development (15-1252) — the title says 'Test Designer' and the primary framing is testing and quality assurance, but the JD also emphasizes building tools, frameworks, and automation solutions, which leans toward development. 15-1253 was chosen as the primary code given the explicit test/QA framing.
The posting is clearly entry-level in scope — it explicitly values 'curiosity and passion' over 'prior industry experience', references coursework and internships as qualifying exposure, and states no minimum years of experience. Seniority is assessed as Junior despite no level word in the title.
Compensation is quoted as two fixed salary points (Bachelor's: $107,350; Master's: $118,650) rather than a range, so both values are captured. Hiring bonuses ($8,500 / $11,500) are not reflected in the comp fields as they are one-time payments, not base salary.
Python is listed alongside C, C++, and Java as interchangeable programming language options under the skills section; alternatives are captured accordingly.
LTE/5G and wireless communications knowledge is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting and is listed under the Nice to have section.
The posting explicitly states Ericsson does not sponsor US work authorizations (H-1B, OPT/CPT, etc.) — this is a notable hiring constraint not captured in any structured field.
