Why we read it this way (5)
The role blends hardware test fixture design (electrical stimulation, soldering, lab instrumentation) with software test automation — it sits between 15-1253 (QA/Test) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). 15-1253 was chosen because the primary stated mission is verifying and validating hardware/firmware/software, not shipping a product.
The B.S. degree requirement is stated as a hard gate ('You must have'), but the posting also says 'if your experience does not meet all our posted requirements below, we'd still love to hear from you,' introducing some ambiguity. The degree is treated as required based on its placement under the 'You must have' heading.
Embedded communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C) and physical interfaces (Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, WiFi) appear under the 'It's helpful to have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures were provided; the posting only mentions 'competitive compensation' and equity.
The role is explicitly on-site five days a week at the Salt Lake City office — remote is not available.
