Requirement-to-Evidence Matrix
| Requirement | Best Evidence | Match Strength | Risk Level | Safe Talking Point | Gap Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Python test automation | Python serial telemetry logger Allowed | Strong | Low risk | Wrote Python that pulled process telemetry off an RS-232 virtual COM port and saved traceable CSV records for validation. | Single-script scope, not a multi-service platform. |
| Hardware/software integration | Multi-channel flashing and telemetry station Allowed | Strong | Low risk | Supported bring-up of a multi-channel flashing/telemetry station: lane mapping, RS-422 paths, harness validation, repeatable station bring-up. | Frame as integration + workflow support, not full LabVIEW software ownership. |
| Manufacturing/test workflows | Multi-channel flashing and telemetry station Allowed | Strong | Low risk | Worked inside regulated hardware manufacturing test: station scale-up, operator workflow, defect isolation. | — |
| Traceability | TraceOps Evidence Operations Allowed | Strong | Low risk | Traceability is the through-line: CSV records on the floor, and an evidence-governed FastAPI app (TraceOps) for provenance + safe claims. | TraceOps is a project, not a deployed enterprise system. |
| PLC/Siemens awareness | No qualifying evidence | None | High risk | Safe-claim blocked | Be upfront: PLC/Siemens depth is the top risk. Offer adjacent experience (industrial comms, station bring-up) and willingness to ramp. |
| Startup communication | TraceOps Evidence Operations Allowed | Moderate | Medium risk | Comfortable shipping scoped, evidence-backed work and communicating risk explicitly — same pattern that produced TraceOps. | Limited time inside a venture-backed hardware startup cadence. |
Top Evidence
Supported bring-up and scale-up of a multi-channel flashing/telemetry station for regulated hardware modules, including lane mapping, RS-422 communication paths, harness validation, and repeatable station bring-up.
Best fit: Test automation / manufacturing test software
Risk note: Do not claim full software ownership of the LabVIEW system; frame as hardware/software integration and station workflow support.
Built a Python script that read process telemetry from an RS-232 virtual COM port and saved traceable CSV records for validation review and issue isolation.
Best fit: Python automation / telemetry logging / traceability
Risk note: Do not overstate as production platform ownership.
FastAPI evidence-governance app for job-fit workflows, requirement extraction, evidence retrieval, evidence policy gates, safe-claim blocking, provenance, and markdown artifacts.
Best fit: Internal tools / Python backend / AI workflow systems
Risk note: Project/tool proof, not direct career production experience.
Risks / Honest Gap Answers
Honest answer: Be upfront: PLC/Siemens depth is the top risk. Offer adjacent experience (industrial comms, station bring-up) and willingness to ramp.
