Why we read it this way (5)
The job location is listed only as 'New Era Office' with no city or state specified; CBSA and state fields are left blank.
The role is a physical security systems engineer (access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection) — not a traditional IT/software occupation. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest SOC fit given the IT-adjacent nature of the work (IP-based devices, network integration, server/workstation configuration); 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is a plausible runner-up given the networking and infrastructure configuration duties.
The 2+ years requirement is stated against implementing physical security technologies (access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, or IT infrastructure) — treated as the overall role-level experience floor.
Access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection are listed as interchangeable qualifying technologies (the candidate needs experience with 'one or more'); they are captured as a single skill with alternatives rather than three separate hard gates.
No compensation figures are disclosed in the posting.
