Why we read it this way (5)
The job title includes 'Project Team Leader', indicating people/team leadership responsibilities, but the posting describes primarily hands-on analytics and algorithm development work with no explicit mention of direct reports, headcount, or budget ownership — classified as a senior individual-contributor/tech-lead role rather than a people manager.
Location is inferred as the Peoria, IL area (Caterpillar IPSD headquarters); the posting does not name a city explicitly but states five-days-a-week onsite and relocation availability, consistent with a corporate campus role.
Generative AI experience is listed under 'Top Candidates Will Also Have', making it a preferred rather than required qualification.
Data analytics is called out as a required skillset in the posting but names no specific tool beyond Python, SQL, AWS, and ML/AI — no additional tool was emitted to avoid inventing a concrete technology from a generic phrase.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) reflects that algorithm development and cloud-based ML engineering could reasonably place this role there; 15-2051 was chosen because the primary framing is data-to-insights analytics and ML/AI rather than software product delivery.
