Why we read it this way (4)

SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role spans Python automation/data engineering (15-1252), applied AI/ML analytics (15-2051), and operational technology integration. The primary day-to-day deliverables — building Python automation tools, data pipelines, ETL processes, and AI-enabled applications — lean toward Software Developers (15-1252), with Data Scientists (15-2051) as a credible runner-up given the predictive analytics and ML emphasis.

The Required Qualifications section lists a Bachelor's from an ABET-accredited engineering program as a hard gate. The Preferred Qualifications section also mentions a bachelor's in Engineering, CS, Data Science, or related field as 'required' and a master's as 'preferred' — the ABET-accredited engineering bachelor's in the formal Required section is treated as the binding degree gate.

Python, Maximo, SCADA, Ignition, and Grafana all appear in the Preferred Qualifications section with firm language ('strong Python programming skills', 'experience with Maximo', 'experience with SCADA systems, EWIS, Ignition, Grafana'). Although the section is labeled 'Preferred Qualifications,' these skills are stated with firm/strong language and are central to the role's described responsibilities, making them effectively hard gates. Power BI, ETL pipelines, AI/ML models, and EWIS are listed with softer framing ('familiarity with', 'experience developing or supporting') and are marked as preferred.

The 4+ years experience requirement appears in both the Required Qualifications section ('Experience: 4+ years') and the Preferred Qualifications narrative, confirming it as the role-level minimum.
