Why we read it this way (6)
The experience requirement is stated as '0-3+ years', making this an entry-to-junior-level role despite the breadth of the job description; seniority is assessed as Junior accordingly.
CAN, PCIe, Ethernet, LIN, and I2C are listed together as a single data-bus familiarity requirement under the required qualifications section. They are emitted as separate skills since they are distinct technologies, with CAN carrying the alternatives array to reflect their co-listing.
High-speed signaling and signal integrity are required but name no specific tool or technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Jama appears both in the required section (as a requirements database tool) and the bonus section; it is marked preferred because the required mention uses the softer framing 'Maintain requirements databases using Jama' in the responsibilities narrative, while the bonus section explicitly calls it out as experience with 'Requirements Management Tools such as Jama.'
ISO 26262, ASPICE, C, C++, Python, Linux, and lab equipment experience all appear under the 'Bonus Points!' section and are marked preferred.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for a systems engineering role spanning hardware, embedded compute, and functional safety — it does not map cleanly to software development (15-1252) or pure systems analysis (15-1211), hence Medium confidence with 15-1211 as the runner-up.
