Why we read it this way (4)
The posting does not specify a city; Echodyne is headquartered in Kirkland, WA (Seattle metro, CBSA 42660). The role appears to be on-site given the hardware-in-the-loop and physical device interaction requirements.
Python is listed as 'preferred' within the automation requirement ('Python preferred'), but it sits inside the Required Skills section — it is treated as a hard gate on test automation capability, with Python as the preferred language.
Export-control eligibility (US Citizen, green card holder, or asylum/refugee status) is required as part of the application process, but this is not a formal US security clearance gate — no clearance level is specified.
The alt SOC 15-1252 is noted because the role involves building and maintaining automated test frameworks and contributing code, which overlaps with software development work; however, the primary framing is QA/test engineering.
