How classification works
One primary family, several capability overlays
Job titles do not carry enough information by themselves. SaunaJobs preserves the employer's title, adds a normalized title when useful, and connects the role to systems, work setting, asset class, functional focus, languages, credentials, and risk environment. That is how a product manager can remain an operations role while also being discoverable for product work, or an embedded engineer can sit in manufacturing while still surfacing for controls and hardware searches.
