Why we read it this way (8)
This is a Co-Op/Internship role (labeled 'Entry Level') targeting students currently pursuing a degree in CS, AI, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related STEM field — no completed degree is required.
The CBSA is inferred from Lennox's corporate headquarters in Richardson, TX (Dallas-Fort Worth metro); the posting does not explicitly state a work location.
The role spans data science, AI/ML engineering, and generative AI application development, making it genuinely ambiguous between 15-2051 (Data Scientists) and 15-1252 (Software Developers); the generative AI application and LLM integration work leans toward software development, but the ML, data modeling, and data science framing is equally prominent.
'Cloud platforms' is listed under required qualifications as 'familiarity with APIs and cloud platforms' — no specific cloud provider is named, so common substitutes (AWS, Azure, GCP) are listed as alternatives.
AI/ML frameworks, data engineering tools, and software development practices appear under the 'Nice to Have' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
Microsoft Office is mentioned only in the boilerplate 'What We Are Looking For' section at the bottom and is marked as preferred given its generic, non-gating context.
Compensation is quoted as $22.50–$25/hour; graduate students may receive a higher rate based on year in school.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
