Why we read it this way (5)

The title 'Member of Technical Staff' carries no explicit seniority level; the preferred qualifications call for 5+ years of silicon-proven industry experience, supporting a Senior classification.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: this role is hardware RTL/microarchitecture design, which sits closer to hardware engineering (15-1299 or an EE occupation) than to software development, but 15-1252 is the closest available code for engineers who design and implement digital logic blocks.

C, C++, and Python are listed together as 'at least one' programming language requirement — C is captured as the primary with C++ and Python as alternatives. Python also appears separately as a standalone preferred skill for completeness.

The posting states the salary range covers all US locations; actual pay varies by work location.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): RTL design.
