Why we read it this way (6)
Location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA could be determined. Space Micro Inc. (the subsidiary named in the job duties) is based in San Diego, CA — but this is not confirmed in the posting itself.
The security clearance section states only that applicants must be a US Person (ITAR/EAR compliance); no specific clearance level is required or mentioned as a gate.
The embedded processor list (ARM, PowerPC, x86, TI-DSP, 8051) is presented as a single 'experience with' requirement; ARM is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives since they are interchangeable examples of the same requirement.
SPI, UART, I2C, and Ethernet appear in both the body narrative and the qualifications section; they are treated as required. SpaceWire appears in both sections but is explicitly called 'a plus' in the narrative, so it is treated as preferred.
MATLAB is explicitly marked 'Preferred' in the posting. Python is also marked 'Preferred.' CameraLink is explicitly 'a plus.' Code Composer Studio is explicitly 'desired.' All four are marked as preferred accordingly.
The degree requirement lists BSEE, BSCE, or BSCS — all bachelor's-level degrees in engineering or computer science disciplines; Bachelors is the minimum hard-required degree.
