Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits at the intersection of systems/controls engineering and software product development — it is primarily a technical lead for HVAC unit controls product development, generating functional specifications and leading cross-functional engineering teams, rather than a pure software developer or systems analyst. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest fit; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible alternative given the embedded/enterprise software project leadership component.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 5+ years of project management experience in engineering product development, combined with cross-functional technical lead responsibilities, supports a Senior classification.
Embedded software development and enterprise software development are listed as interchangeable alternatives in the 'What you will bring' section ('Experience leading or involvement in an embedded software project or enterprise software development project').
INCOSE Certification is explicitly called out as 'a plus' — listed as preferred accordingly.
The role is hybrid (Mon–Thu onsite in Clarksville, TN; Fridays flexible), not fully remote.
'Communication protocols', 'control systems', 'HMI', and 'HVAC systems' are domain knowledge requirements stated in the qualifications section but name no specific named product or standard (e.g. BACnet, Modbus). They are captured as named domain skills since the JD treats them as concrete knowledge areas.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): embedded software development.
