Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Data Science Technical Team Lead' but the JD frames it as a hands-on technical leadership position (mentoring, defining methods, solving hard analytical problems) rather than a people-management role with direct reports, hiring authority, or budget ownership — so 15-2051 Data Scientists is preferred over 11-3021 Computer and Information Systems Managers. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the hybrid tech-lead framing.
All skills appear under 'Qualifications We Prefer' — the JD's required section ('Qualifications You Must Have') states only a STEM bachelor's degree and 10 years of engineering experience (or advanced degree + 7 years). No specific technology is hard-gated.
The 10-year minimum (or 7 years with an advanced degree) is a role-level experience gate, not tied to any specific technology; the lower bound of 7 years was not used because the primary stated requirement is 10 years without an advanced degree.
The posting explicitly states 'Security Clearance Type: None/Not Required', so no clearance gate applies.
The role requires U.S. Person status (lawful permanent resident or protected individual) but does not require a security clearance.
Edge compute hardware deployment and gas turbine / aerospace domain knowledge appear only under preferred qualifications and are domain-specific context items rather than named technologies; they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): time series analysis.
