We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
First, maybe start with
About the role
then a containing description: Northrop Grumman... location list... directorate... environment... etc.
We need to include the description paragraph: "At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work — and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history. Northrop Grumman is seeking Software Engineering Intern to join the Aeronautics Systems Intern Program. This position will be located in one of the following locations: San Diego, CA / Palmdale, CA / El Segundo, CA / or Redondo Beach, CA. The qualified candidate will become part of Northrop Grumman’s Software Engineering directorate. The selected candidate will work in a dynamic people-focused environment where he/she will interact with users, customers and other developers."
We should keep that as prose.
Then Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then - ... list items. The responsibilities text: "As An Intern, You’ll Participate In a Summer Internship Program To Develop Competencies In a Variety Of Engineering Specializations That May Include Construct, troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and maintain equipment, components, devices, or systems.Work from engineering drawings and written or verbal instructions.Operate related equipment; conduct tests and report data in prescribed format.Perform calibration and alignment checks; make adjustments, modifications, and replacements as directed.Prepare prescribed compounds and solutions."
We need to split into list items. Could be each duty separated by commas? Better to break into separate
- for each distinct duty: Participate in summer internship program to develop competencies in various engineering specializations; Construct, troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and maintain equipment, components, devices, or systems; Work from engineering drawings and written or verbal instructions; Operate related equipment; conduct tests and report data in prescribed format; Perform calibration and alignment checks; make adjustments, modifications, and replacements as directed; Prepare prescribed compounds and solutions. Also interacting with users, customers, developers? That was in description earlier; but could be part of responsibilities. We'll include as separate item: Interact with users, customers, and other developers.
We must preserve all detail; not invent. So we need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract the exact sentences.
Original: "As An Intern, You’ll Participate In a Summer Internship Program To Develop Competencies In a Variety Of Engineering Specializations That May Include Construct, troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and maintain equipment, components, devices, or systems.Work from engineering drawings and written or verbal instructions.Operate related equipment; conduct tests and report data in prescribed format.Perform calibration and alignment checks; make adjustments, modifications, and replacements as directed.Prepare prescribed compounds and solutions."
There is no period after "systems." then "Work". So it's a run-on. We'll split logically.
We'll produce list items:
- Participate in a summer internship program to develop competencies in a variety of engineering specializations.
- Construct, troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and maintain equipment, components, devices, or systems.
- Work from engineering drawings and written or verbal instructions.
- Operate related equipment; conduct tests and report data in prescribed format.
- Perform calibration and alignment checks; make adjustments, modifications, and replacements as directed.
- Prepare prescribed compounds and solutions.
- Interact with users, customers, and other developers. (from earlier description)
We need to ensure we didn't add anything not present. Interact with users, customers, and other developers is present in description: "The selected candidate will work in a dynamic people-focused environment where he/she will interact with users, customers and other developers." That's a responsibility, okay.
Now Requirements: Basic Qualifications list.
We need to include: Be enrolled in an Associates or 4 year degree AND graduating after August 2027. Be majoring in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or similar STEM degree. Be available to work full-time (40 hours per week) for at least 10 weeks during summer 2027. Be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. citizenship is a pre-requisite) as well as Program Special access within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the company to meet its business needs (U.S. citizenship is a pre-requisite).
Also clearance type Top Secret, clearance required for start: No, travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. Should we include those in Requirements? They are metadata about clearance and travel. Could be part of Requirements (clearance needed) but we have a separate statement: "CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No CLEARANCE TYPE: Top Secret TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time". This is substantive info. We'll include in Requirements maybe as separate bullet points: Clearance type: Top Secret; Clearance required for start: No; Travel: Yes, 10% of time.
We must not invent; we keep exactly.
Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: Have an overall cumulative GPA of 3.25/4.0 or higher. Previous internship/co-op experience, leadership & teamwork capabilities, interpersonal communication skills, and activities (professional/community/extracurricular).
We'll list as bullet points.
Benefits: Relocation assistance may be available.
Pay: Intern Pay Range details: Undergraduate degrees (Including graduating students planning on attending/enrolled in a full-time Master’s program): $21.50 to $39.00 per hour. Master’s: $30.50 to $48.00 per hour. Also note: At Northrop Grumman, our internship pay rates are standardized and take into account three main factors: the anticipated graduation date of the individual, the cost of labor of the geographic location, and whether the internship is considered technical or administrative. That's substantive; we should include.
Schedule: Be available to work full-time (40 hours per week) for at least 10 weeks during summer 2027. Already in Requirements but also schedule. Could be in Schedule section. However we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but we should avoid redundancy? It says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Duplication may be okay but we can place schedule info in Schedule section and not repeat in Requirements? But the requirement includes availability to work full-time etc. That's both a requirement and schedule. We could keep it in Requirements and also have Schedule section referencing same? Might be duplication. Better to keep it in Requirements and not have separate Schedule section unless there is additional schedule info beyond that. The schedule info is exactly that. So we could have Schedule section with that detail, and maybe remove from Requirements to avoid duplication. But the requirement also includes that as a qualification; it's both. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we split, we might have thin sections. Better to keep it
