Why we read it this way (4)

The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science, or related field' is listed under Basic Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.

Test automation frameworks and CI/CD appear only under Preferred Qualifications, so they are not hard gates.

The JD describes both manual and automated testing responsibilities but names no specific tools or platforms (e.g., Selenium, JIRA, TestRail) anywhere in the posting — no named-tool skills beyond Agile/Scrum could be extracted.

Costa Mesa, CA falls within the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CBSA (31080).
