We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes company description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. We need headings: for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real content.
We have company description (maybe "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real content.
We have company description (maybe "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "We celebrate employment equity and diversity!" etc. Also remove "We thank all applicants..." etc. Also remove "Must be authorized to work in the U.S."? That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered requirement? It's a requirement about work authorization. Might be considered a requirement. But it's not a typical heading; we could include under Requirements.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The job title is "Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation specialist". Not to repeat as heading.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's extract content:
Company Description: "The team members of Rand Simulation have a steeped history in helping organizations bring their product vision to reality through incorporating engineering simulation technology into the product development process. Rand Simulation operates as an Elite North American channel partner for Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) to further strengthen its collaborative consulting services while striving for the strongest customer value-add. In the first four years of operation, Rand Simulation has already been awarded the coveted title of Ansys Americas Channel Partner of the Year twice in the past 4 years, Ansys Elite channel partner, and is the fastest growing partner in North America"
That's about the company. Could be under "About the company" or "About the role"? Probably "About the company" but allowed headings list includes About the role. We could use "About the role" to describe the position. However we have responsibilities separate. Maybe "About the company" not in list but we could still use About the company? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those headings. So we should stick to those. So we can have "About the role" covering company description and role overview.
Responsibilities: list of responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe education and experience.
Qualifications: maybe skills.
Skills: maybe specific technical skills.
Benefits: list.
Pay: not mentioned, so omit.
Schedule: remote position mentioned; maybe schedule? It says "This is a remote position." That's schedule/location. Could be under Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work hours. Remote is location. Could be under "About the role" as note. But we could create a Schedule section if we have content: remote position. However they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states remote position, which is about schedule/location. Could be considered schedule. But maybe better to include under About the role.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points:
- Primary role of the consulting engineer is to act as lead on specific consulting projects with responsibility of running simulations for clients, leading design review meetings, interpreting results and suggesting recommended design modifications based on simulation findings and industry design knowledge.
- Staying up to date with ANSYS platforms and expanding knowledge of ANSYS tools through trainings and self-guided education to enable expansion into additional consulting industries.
- Interfacing with Rand Simulation sales and business development teams on ANSYS simulation consulting opportunities to provide technical guidance, credibility, and subject matter expertise.
- Analyze prospect and customer technical needs, requirements, infrastructure, operations, and engineering workflows as it relates to services engagements to ensure an application fit and create/demonstration recommended simulation solutions.
- Articulate ANSYS’ value proposition primarily around the business unit solutions for consulting services.
- Work with RandSim marketing team to generate blog posts, white papers, webinars, and other content related to key initiatives for your team and consulting services.
- Occasionally provide ANSYS training (basic and customized), mentoring, account follow-up and technical support to assist clients in the adoption and ROI of their ANSYS technology investment.
Also earlier sentences: "You will be responsible for leveraging advanced-level engineering principles so not only execute on consulting projects, but also to assist Rand Simulation's account managers with scoping and leading customers to solutions.. You will be responsible for leveraging advanced-level engineering knowledge and relationships to support Rand SIM’s account managers with significant impact on revenue goals, as well as for helping customers to solve complex engineering problems using ANSYS software products." This is somewhat duplicate of responsibilities. We'll incorporate.

Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine company description and role overview.
Company description: "The team members of Rand Simulation have a steeped history in helping organizations bring their product vision to reality through incorporating engineering simulation technology into the product development process. Rand Simulation operates as an Elite North American channel partner for Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) to further strengthen its collaborative consulting services while striving for the strongest customer value-add.

Role overview: "We are looking for a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation specialist with knowledge of ANSYS structural software packages. This is a remote position. The Rand Simulation business model leverages a collaborative approach, combining the analysis expertise of our simulation consultants with the design expertise of our clients. Our goal as the simulation experts is to serve as an extension of our client's team to empower impactful performance insight through simulation to drive informed design decisions. You will be responsible for leveraging advanced-level engineering principles so not only execute on consulting projects, but also to assist Rand Simulation's account managers with scoping and leading customers to solutions. You will be responsible for leveraging advanced-level engineering knowledge and relationships to support Rand SIM’s account managers with significant impact on revenue goals, as well as for helping customers to solve complex engineering problems using ANSYS software products."
We can combine.
Now responsibilities list: we need to include all bullet points.
Let's list them clearly:
- Act as lead on specific consulting projects: run simulations for clients, lead design review meetings, interpret results, suggest recommended design modifications based on simulation findings and industry design knowledge.
