Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; the CBSA field has been left blank. The role appears to be on-site given its hands-on engineering nature, but no explicit location is stated.
This role sits at the boundary of Systems Engineering and Computer/Software occupations. The primary day-to-day work is systems architecture and design for battery/energy management systems — a hardware-software-electrical hybrid — which does not map cleanly to any single SOC code. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the runner-up.
Simulink, Model-Based Design, and Visio are listed in the Requirements section alongside 'Electrical and Electronics Experience.' The latter is a domain knowledge descriptor rather than a named tool and has been omitted from the skills list.
Aviation certification and battery experience are listed as requirements but are domain/industry qualifications rather than named technologies or tools, so they are not captured as skills.
The posting requires US citizenship or Green Card (permanent residency) — candidates requiring visa sponsorship are not eligible.
The 10-year experience requirement is stated at the role level ('10 years systems design experience with electrical systems') and is captured as the overall experience minimum.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Model-Based Design.
