How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (3)
TCAS, DME, UAT, and transponder experience appear in the responsibilities/context section rather than the mandatory skills block, so they are marked as preferred. The mandatory skills block explicitly calls out DO-178C, Embedded C/C++, and avionics surveillance systems experience.
Embedded C and C++ are listed together as a single mandatory requirement; C is emitted as the primary skill with C++ as an alternative, reflecting that either or both may satisfy the gate.
Avionics surveillance systems is retained as a named domain requirement explicitly called out in the mandatory skills block, even though it is domain knowledge rather than a discrete tool — it functions as a hard gate in this specialized field.
