Tier-1 employer and mid-level experience broaden applicant pools, but niche IEC 61850/HIL skills moderate competition.
Highly domain-specific IEC 61850, protection relay, HIL, and power systems expertise limits cross-industry transferability.
Explicit 5+ years and mandatory niche protocol, HIL, and IEC 61850 requirements make shortlisting strict.
