Why we read it this way (8)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent diploma' — since equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
Total experience is stated as '3–5 years'; minimum of 3 years is used.
Jenkins and Git appear only under the 'Nice to Have' section, so they are marked preferred despite being common CI/CD tools.
RTOS platforms (PikeOS, VxWorks, Integrity) are mentioned as an 'asset' within the Must-Have section but are framed as optional exposure, not a hard gate — marked preferred accordingly.
C/C++ is listed in the Must-Have section as 'familiarity with C/C++' to enable debugging; included as required given its placement, though the framing is softer than Python.
The posting notes U.S. citizenship is required due to export-controlled work, but no formal security clearance is gated — clearance is set to None.
Compensation includes a bonus component beyond the stated base salary range.
The role is hybrid (primarily on-site in Fort Worth with occasional WFH); remote is set to false.
