Why we read it this way (6)

The posting lists CTest and Google Test (GTest) as a single paired requirement under Required Skills; they are captured as a single skill with GTest as an alternative since either framework satisfies the same testing requirement.

Display software development and GUI applications are explicitly called 'an added advantage' in the Required Skills section, so they are treated as preferred.

Embedded Coder (automatic code generation) appears under the MATLAB/Simulink Skills section, which reads as a stack/context block rather than a hard-gate requirements section; treated as preferred.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's' — Bachelor's is the minimum and is captured; a Master's is not required.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): GUI development.
