Why we read it this way (6)
This role is a niche configuration/HMI technician position — it primarily involves configuring proprietary power-monitoring software (Foreseer, Power Xpert) and designing web-based graphical interfaces for electrical systems, rather than general software development or pure web development. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit; 15-1254 (Web Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the web-based graphical interface work.
Lafayette, CO falls within the Boulder, CO CBSA (14500).
The JD requires an Associate's degree but explicitly lists it without 'or equivalent experience' language; however, the preferred section specifies a field (Information Systems or Electrical Engineering). Because the basic requirement is simply 'Associate's degree' with no field restriction and the role is otherwise entry-level, degree requirement is set to None — an Associate's is not a Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate, which are the only options in the schema.
Photoshop and Illustrator are listed together in the same requirement bullet; Illustrator is captured as an alternative. Flash and 'creative suite' are also mentioned in the same bullet but Flash is largely obsolete and 'creative suite' is a product family rather than a distinct skill.
AutoCAD appears in both the preferred qualifications and the skills section. Its presence in the skills section ('AutoCAD Experience') could suggest it is required, but it is not listed under Basic Qualifications and is explicitly called out as preferred in the Preferred Qualifications section — treated as preferred accordingly.
Power monitoring platform experience (Foreseer, Power Xpert, Power Management software) is listed only under Preferred Qualifications and is therefore not a hard gate.
