Why we read it this way (7)
This role is primarily a manufacturing/industrial systems engineering position — it sits at the boundary of traditional engineering and computer/IT occupations. The SOC classification is uncertain: the role's core work (designing and maintaining manufacturing systems, automation, controls) does not map cleanly to any single computer-occupation SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit given the controls/automation/systems integration emphasis; 15-1244 is noted as an alternative given the operational systems administration angle.
Experience range is stated as 3–7 years; the overall years minimum is set to the minimum of 3, placing the role at Mid level.
PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, and robotics/industrial networking are explicitly listed under 'preferred' in the Qualifications section.
ERP/MRP systems are called out as 'a plus' in the Qualifications section.
ISO 9001, AS9100, and ISO 13485 appear under Preferred Qualifications; AS9100 and ISO 13485 are listed as alternatives since the posting treats them interchangeably as quality system frameworks.
Industry 4.0 technologies, statistical analysis/process capability, and PE license/Six Sigma certification appear under Preferred Qualifications but name no specific concrete tool or platform, so they are omitted per the generic-concept rule.
No compensation is mentioned in the posting.
