Why we read it this way (7)
The posting offers two possible titles — 'Associate or Manager, Data Science' — with the final title determined by experience. No explicit seniority level is stated in the title itself, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3+ years requirement and team leadership scope support a Mid-level classification (the leadership framing is aspirational/contextual rather than a hard gate on managing a large org).
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting. DESRI is headquartered in New York, NY, so the New York CBSA is used as the best available inference.
A degree is hard-required ('required' stated explicitly), but the posting accepts either an undergraduate or graduate degree, so Bachelors is the minimum.
Experience in renewable energy, utilities, or related industrial sectors is 'strongly preferred' — not gated — so it is treated as preferred and not surfaced as a named technology skill.
Cloud data platforms are required but no specific vendor (AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, etc.) is named; the skill is captured generically.
ML frameworks are required but no specific framework (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) is named; captured under the broader machine learning skill.
SCADA, IoT, forecasting models, and energy market analytics appear under the 'preferred' / 'familiarity with' section of the qualifications.
