Why we read it this way (9)

The role is a research scientist position focused on multimodal foundation models and GenAI; 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is the closest SOC match, though the heavy AI/ML research orientation could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other).

Degree requirement: the JD accepts a Master's degree with 3+ years of relevant industry experience as an alternative to a Ph.D. — minimum hard-required degree is therefore Master's.

The 4+ years of research experience requirement is stated at the role level (not tied to a specific named technology) and is set as the overall years minimum.

The JD requires in-depth experience in foundation models across 'at least two' of several listed areas (time-series data analysis, LLMs, VLMs/MMLMs, inference efficiency, deployment of large models, robustness). All named technologies are captured as required skills since the section is under Basic Qualifications, though in practice only two need to be demonstrated.

Python and C++ are listed as interchangeable examples ('e.g., Python, C++') under a required proficiency statement; Python is the primary with C++ as an alternative.

'AI libraries' is mentioned as a required hands-on experience but names no specific library, so it is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.

Math/statistics and computational modeling appear only under Preferred Qualifications.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): time-series data analysis, computational modeling.
