Why we read it this way (5)

This role is primarily a hardware/systems test and field commissioning engineering position — it sits at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, controls, and software disciplines. No single SOC code maps cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit given the software tooling and test automation component, with 15-1252 as a runner-up given the Python/automation work.

The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a relevant engineering or CS field but explicitly accepts 'equivalent hands-on experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.

JAMA is listed as a required tool with 'or similar' — alternatives field captures the open-ended substitution. The specific alternative tools are not named in the posting.

C++ and warehouse automation/ASRS experience are listed under 'Bonus' and are treated as preferred.

Startup experience and entrepreneurial mindset are listed as a Bonus but are soft skills/context, not a named technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
