Why we read it this way (6)
The posting states a Bachelor's degree in EE/CE/CS/EET/CET is 'preferred, or equivalent experience,' so no hard degree requirement is set.
The minimum experience gate is 2 years (Required Skills section); 4+ years appears only under Desired Skills and is treated as preferred.
Hardware-level communications (USB, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C) are listed together as a single familiarity requirement; each is captured as a separate required skill since they are distinct protocols.
Segger J-Link/Ozone is listed as an example debugging tool alongside logic analyzers and oscilloscopes; J-Link is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives, reflecting the 'such as' framing — the underlying debugging-tool capability is the hard gate.
Bootloader/OTA development, low-power design, motor control, regulatory certification (FCC/CE/UL), PCB layout, hand soldering, and manufacturing experience all appear under Desired Skills and are omitted from the required skills list; they are genuinely optional extras.
The role is W-2 full-time and explicitly US-only (remote anywhere in the US); no security clearance is mentioned.
