Why we read it this way (7)
This role is an industrial/OT Control Systems Engineer — it sits at the boundary of engineering and computing. No SOC code in the standard list cleanly covers industrial automation/process control; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest available fit, with 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) as a secondary option. Candidate pool benchmarks for either code will be imperfect.
No work location is stated in the posting. A & Associates operates offices across the US but the specific site for this role is not identified.
The title carries no seniority label. The 5–6 year experience requirement and the scope of responsibilities (design, commissioning, FAT/SAT, documentation) map to a Mid-level band on the standard career ladder.
The degree (Bachelor's in Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation/Control Systems/Automation Engineering) appears only under 'Preferred Qualifications', so it is not treated as a hard requirement.
Industrial communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA) are listed together as a single configuration requirement in the responsibilities section and reinforced under Required Skills; each is captured as a separate named technology.
Platform experience (Siemens, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, ABB, Emerson, Honeywell, Yokogawa) is required but explicitly stated as 'one or more' — captured as a single skill with alternatives.
IEC 61508/IEC 61511 functional safety standards and industrial cybersecurity standards appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
