Why we read it this way (6)
The primary work location is described as South Carolina (through November 2026), with a required travel leg to Texas in December 2026 for installation. The CBSA is mapped to Greenville-Anderson, SC as the most likely industrial hub in the state, though the specific facility city is not stated.
SOC classification is a judgement call: this role writes custom software (KAREL programs, full application development from concept to production) which points to 15-1252 Software Developers, but the work is deeply embedded in industrial automation hardware and commissioning, which has some affinity with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other). 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverable is authored software.
Serial communications is listed as a required protocol in the responsibilities section but is a generic capability rather than a named technology, so it was not emitted as a discrete skill.
Vision systems, barcode scanners, and RFID readers appear in the responsibilities narrative as integration targets; barcode scanner integration and RFID are also called out explicitly under Preferred Experience and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
