Why we read it this way (5)
The posting offers both contract and full-time options ('Contract or full-time employment options available') but does not commit to a single employment type, so employment type is left as Unspecified.
UE5 is listed as 'preferred' within the required Unreal Engine qualification, so it is captured under the broader Unreal Engine skill rather than as a separate gate.
ROS2/ROS and sensor data processing are explicitly called 'a plus' (familiarity only), so they are marked preferred. ROS is listed as an alternative to ROS2 since they are interchangeable in this context.
VR/AR development and machine learning appear under the 'Bonus Points For' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
