Why we read it this way (5)
This role is primarily an industrial/embedded automation technician position — hands-on troubleshooting of physical electromechanical systems (PLCs, robots, conveyors, ASRS cranes, AGVs). It sits at the boundary of computer occupations and skilled trades; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the closest SOC fit given the controls/automation focus, but 15-1244 is noted as an alternative. Neither is a perfect match — this role may be better described by a non-SOC skilled trades code (e.g., 49-2094 Electrical and Electronics Repairers) in a broader taxonomy.
The posting lists four possible work locations: Indianapolis IN, Durham NC, Concord NC, and Houston TX. Indianapolis IN is used as the primary CBSA; candidates should note the role may be filled at any of these sites.
Vision systems appear only in the narrative 'What You'll Work On' section alongside other equipment context, not in the explicit requirements block, so it is marked preferred.
The posting mentions 'highly competitive salary' but provides no specific compensation figures.
The 2-2-3 rotating night shift schedule is a hard operational requirement explicitly called out under 'Our REQUIREMENTS.'
