Why we read it this way (4)
The degree requirement is listed as 'preferred' and explicitly allows 'equivalent years of experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
C++ and Rust are listed together as a joint 5+ year requirement ('C++ and/or Rust'); they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same gate rather than two separate hard requirements.
IEC 61508, FreeRTOS, EtherCAT, SPI, RS485, WiFi/wireless, and Claude Code all appear under the 'Desired Experience' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
Static analysis and unit testing appear in the required section as part of 'modern SDLC processes' but name no specific tool; they are captured via the CI/CD skill rather than as separate generic entries.
