Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the intersection of hardware test engineering and test system development (writing test requirements, building fixtures, Gage R&R qualification). It is classified as QA/Test (15-1253) because the primary deliverable is test system design and validation, though a Software Developers (15-1252) classification is plausible given the system-engineering and development framing in the title.
The only hard-required qualification is a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering; all technical skills appear exclusively under the 'Even better, you may have…' preferred section.
The posted salary range ($65,100–$144,900) spans salary grades 5–7, reflecting a wide band that could accommodate junior through senior candidates; no minimum years of experience are stated.
The position is hybrid with four or more onsite days per week required — not fully remote.
Visa sponsorship is not available; candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Electrical Engineering, functional test system design.
