Why we read it this way (6)

The job title is 'Senior Computational Software Engineer' but the requirements gate on only 4+ years of experience with a preferred (not required) degree, and most technical skills beyond Python are listed as 'a plus' — the actual requirements support a Mid-level band.

No work location is specified in the posting; the role appears US-based given the company context but no city, state, or CBSA could be determined.

The degree (BS/MS/PhD in EE/CE/ECE/CS) is explicitly 'preferred,' not required, so it is not treated as a hard gate.

C++, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS SQS/SNS, power systems knowledge, numerical methods, and EDA tools are all explicitly flagged as 'a plus' or 'preferred' in the posting.

High-performance numerical computing and computational parallelization are described as required competencies but name no specific framework or tool, so they are not emitted as named skills.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
