Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a manufacturing/industrial automation software engineer — it sits at the boundary between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other); 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverable is writing and shipping software applications and automation systems, not operating existing infrastructure.
The job title carries no seniority level word; however, the 5+ years requirement with cross-functional ownership maps to Mid-level scope. The role is not Senior because the JD does not describe end-to-end component ownership or mentorship responsibilities beyond standard collaboration.
Location is listed as California (hybrid); Noah Medical is headquartered in the San Jose/Santa Clara area, so the CBSA is inferred as San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA. The exact city is not stated in the posting.
Degree requirement: the JD lists 'Bachelor's or Master's degree' as a qualification with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so Bachelor's is treated as the minimum hard requirement.
NPI (New Product Introduction) experience and medical device/regulated manufacturing experience are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.
ISO 13485, FDA GMP, and other regulated quality system familiarity are explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.
