Why we read it this way (6)
SOC classification is uncertain: this is a vehicle/embedded systems engineering role that spans requirements management, functional safety, and architecture — it does not map cleanly to any single computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the SIL/HIL, control logic, and software-architecture emphasis.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or other relevant educational credential,' which implies equivalent experience may be accepted. However, the phrasing is ambiguous enough that Bachelors is reported as the minimum formal degree stated.
Flow Engineering is listed as the company's requirements management tool — it is a relatively niche/proprietary tool and may not be a hard gate in practice, but it appears in the requirements section and is treated accordingly.
Teleoperation systems and cybersecurity appear in the responsibilities/requirements narrative but are not explicitly called out as standalone required skills with firm gating language; they are marked preferred.
The posting does not specify a city; Harbinger Motors is headquartered in Gardena, CA, which falls within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CBSA.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Flow Engineering.
