Good for the engineer who is an expert in those audio and video testing and can get hired for the role. We should be thankful engineering has provided many folk who were previously poor, an opportunity to rise to the middle class simply by studying and being smart.

#12Is there really nothing in the law preventing companies from doing things like this? Could they say something even more absurd like $1-$1,000,000?

#16Colorado has a similar law, but I've never observed this kind of "range-hacking." Why would this happen in CA but not CO?

#18Even if not the case here, isn't that to be expected then? Volatility in share price will put a big range in that figure for companies with less of the total comp in cash base salary.

There is likely no engineer at that level, instead they're gaming the law. They're required to report their salary range for transparency, and they're basically replying with "our salaries are between between 0 and $1M".

You're right but I think you're missing the point. Offering a range that broad in the job listing is just an effort to flaunt a law. That law was put into place to help the people you're talking about.
Just like the “can’t charge extra for using a credit card” law. Prices went up and gas stations give a cash discount.
