We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
SOC classification is uncertain. Industrial/manufacturing automation engineering sits at the boundary of 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts); neither is a perfect fit, as BLS does not have a dedicated SOC for controls/automation engineers in manufacturing. 15-1299 is used as the primary code given the hands-on controls and automation systems focus.
The posting names 'PI data' (OSIsoft PI / AVEVA PI) as a required tool for process historian analysis. No other specific software platforms, PLCs, DCS, or SCADA products are named by brand.
'Automation code' is referenced as a required skill but no specific programming language or platform (e.g., Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Python) is named.
cGMP, change control, CAPA, and deviation management are listed under Job Requirements and treated as hard gates given the regulated-industry context of the role.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): process automation, automation code review/troubleshooting.
