We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like equal opportunity, contact number, etc. We removed. Check for any duplicated lines: none. Make sure we didn't include any headings with empty content. All have content. Check that we didn't include job title heading. Good. Check that we didn't include Job ID/requisition numbers. Not present. Check that we preserved all substantive info: location/dates, description, responsibilities, required qualifications (including GPA, export compliance), preferred qualifications, pay, benefits, schedule. Also we included "No relocation assistance or housing provided" in About the role. We also included "Fulltime Equivalent Job Grade" maybe not needed but we captured salary range. We omitted "Why should you join Mercury Systems?" and "Our Culture" as they are more marketing; but they are substantive? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include them but they'd be extra sections. However they are not required headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Why should you join Mercury Systems?" and "Our Culture" could be considered "About the role" or maybe "Company Overview". But we can omit to keep fewer sections. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". The posting does have that content, but we could incorporate into About the role or omit. Since we already have About the role covering role description, we could add a paragraph about company mission etc. But to keep sections few, we could incorporate into About the role. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a section "About Mercury Systems" but that would be another heading not in the list; but we could still use
