Compensation is described as a competitive base salary plus a 10–15% annual performance-based bonus; no specific dollar figures are stated.
The degree requirement is an associate degree or equivalent technical training, but the posting explicitly accepts 'a comparable combination of education and relevant experience' in lieu of a formal degree, so no hard degree gate was recorded.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) was chosen because SCADA/industrial automation development is a specialized discipline that sits between pure software development (15-1252) and systems administration (15-1244); 15-1252 is noted as a close alternative given the heavy application-development and scripting emphasis.

OPC and OPC UA are listed together in the posting; OPC UA is used as the primary skill name with OPC as an alternative.
