Why we read it this way (9)
The role is explicitly a contractor (contract) engagement, not a full-time position.
Location is Murrysville, PA — a suburb within the Pittsburgh, PA CBSA — on a hybrid basis.
Prior experience in the medical device industry is stated as required, but names no specific technology or tool, so it is captured in context rather than as a named skill.
The JD describes working 'under close supervision on segments of a project or very small projects' and notes 'limited experience in applying engineering skills is acceptable,' strongly indicating a junior-level role despite no explicit level label in the title.
C# and test automation are explicitly called out as 'a bonus, but not required' — listed under Preferred Skills.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The skills 'requirements analysis', 'test development', 'test execution', and 'defect management' are functional/methodological terms rather than named tools, but they are explicitly enumerated as required technical experience in the Requirements section and are the closest concrete skill descriptors the JD provides for this QA role.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test development, test execution, defect management.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
