Why we read it this way (5)
PLC and HMI development sits at the intersection of industrial controls and software engineering — it doesn't map cleanly to any standard BLS computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 is noted as a runner-up given the systems-integration and analysis framing.
The posting requires enrollment in a degree program (electrical or computer engineering) rather than a completed degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
PLC and HMI are marked as required because they appear in the Requirements section, though the posting softens the gate with 'or willingness to learn' — this qualifier signals the specific tools are interchangeable with equivalent experience, but the underlying capability is still listed as a requirement. No specific vendor platforms (e.g. Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Ignition) are named.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
