Why we read it this way (6)

The role is hybrid/remote-eligible but candidates must be physically located in Michigan — no specific metro is given, so no CBSA code is assigned.

SOC classification is a judgement call: the role centers on designing, configuring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure (firewalls, switches, routers, LAN/WAN), which maps best to 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators). However, the strong emphasis on security — threat detection, prevention, and remediation — makes 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) a plausible runner-up.

Fortinet NSE4 certification is listed as 'preferred' in the qualifications section, so it is marked as a preferred skill. Hands-on Fortinet experience, however, is called out as the 'core focus' of the role and is treated as required.

Dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP) are listed together as a single requirement; OSPF is used as the primary name with BGP and EIGRP as alternatives.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

The title 'Network Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level, and the 5+ years requirement with independent ownership of client engagements supports a Mid-level classification (the role does not demonstrate Staff/Principal org-wide scope).
