Why we read it this way (9)
The company name is Merlin Labs / Merlin, headquartered in Boston, MA; no specific work location is stated in the posting beyond US work authorization requirements.
SOC classification is a judgement call: this is a systems/integration engineering role in aerospace, not a pure software or IT analyst role. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest available code for systems engineering focused on integration, verification, and requirements; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the aerospace/autonomy domain.
Experience range of 6–9 years is stated; the overall years minimum is set to 6 (the lower bound).
ARP4754A and DO-178B/C appear under a 'Highly Desired Experience' section and are treated as preferred. DO-178B and DO-178C are listed together as the same standard revision pair; DO-178C is captured as an alternative.
Simulink, Cameo, IADS, and Jama appear only under 'Familiarity with' in the Highly Desired section and are treated as preferred.
MBSE is explicitly called 'a plus but not required' in the posting.
The posting states a BS is required and MS is preferred; the degree requirement is set to Bachelors as the hard minimum.
No visa sponsorship is available; candidates must be authorized to work in the US.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Test Plan development, Test Procedure development, Test Case development.
