Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is listed as 'Full-Time / Contract' — the employment type is ambiguous; FullTime is used here as the primary framing, but contract candidates may also be considered.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily compliance/certification analysis (favoring 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) rather than hands-on software development, though deep knowledge of software development lifecycles is required (15-1252 is the runner-up).
No total years of experience are specified in the posting; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope of responsibilities and the absence of any senior-level leadership or cross-org authority signals.
The degree requirement explicitly accepts equivalent STEM disciplines; a Bachelor's in CS, Software Engineering, EE, or Aerospace Engineering is listed as required with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so Bachelors is marked as required.
No compensation range is provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): safety-critical embedded systems, certification documentation.
