Application Engineer II, (Computer Systems)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (or About this position?), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills maybe, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes "About this position:" which is prose. That can be About the role. Responsibilities list. Required Qualifications (maybe Requirements). Preferred Qualifications maybe also part of Requirements or Skills. Benefits listed. Compensation: $75,000-$85,000 (Pay). No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like Work Authorization, EEO, etc. Also remove "About Advantech" maybe? It's not required but could be considered extra but not part of sections; we can drop it as it's not requested. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove Work Authorization, EEO, etc. Also "About Advantech" maybe not boilerplate but it's company description; could be considered not required but not prohibited. However we should preserve ALL substantive information; but we can decide to keep it as a paragraph maybe under a section? There's no heading for company overview. Could be omitted? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the company description if it's substantive. But we have no heading for it; we could just put it as a

after the sections? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include

for prose. So we can include a paragraph about Advantech after the sections, not under a heading. That's fine. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which headings to use. We have About this position -> About the role. Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Required Qualifications -> Requirements (or Qualifications). Preferred Qualifications could be Skills? Or we could combine Required and Preferred under Requirements and maybe Skills. But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps we make a single Requirements section that includes both required and preferred qualifications as lists. Or we could have Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred). The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine required and preferred into one Requirements section. But we also have Benefits and Pay. So sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits list. Pay: we have compensation range; we can put in a

  under Pay heading. We must not include Schedule. Now we need to preserve all substantive information: include details from About this position paragraph, responsibilities bullet points, required qualifications bullet points, preferred qualifications bullet points, benefits bullet points, compensation. We must remove boilerplate: Work Authorization, EEO, etc. Also remove "About Advantech" maybe? It's substantive but not requested; but we could keep as a paragraph after sections. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; so we should keep it. It's not a heading, just a paragraph. Let's extract the About this position paragraph: "Advantech is on the search for an Application Engineer, computer systems that has a passion for working with bare motherboards, computer system products, and building custom products from concept to production for various vertical markets and companies. We are also searching for someone who has an understanding of how to embed and integrate our products into those of our customers. The ideal candidate is motivated to learn, comfortable working in a hands-on technical environment, and able to collaborate effectively with customers and cross-functional teams." We'll keep that as

  . Responsibilities list: each line after "Responsibilities:": - Provide product engineering support to product managers, sales, channel partners and customers. - Assist in creating customer specific solutions consisting of: pre/post sale technical assessments, feasibility testing, technical response to customer bids, and RMA verification - Construct hardware and software demonstration prototypes to aid sales and marketing efforts, such as: rapid hardware prototype development, high-level application software coding and system integration - Conduct product testing while working with senior engineers and product managers - Develop test plans, capture and analyze data, and write technical reports, and related procedures - Work with multiple function teams across Advantech locations to lead technical discussions and gather critical information for customer responses - Daily interfacing with customer stakeholders to answer day-to-day questions and provide trending data - Participate in trade shows and events to demonstrate products and support cross-functional teams - Using internal systems, leveraging existing knowledge base and capable of self-researching and problem-solving skills. We need to keep them as

• . Required Qualifications list: - Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. - 4+ years of experience in PC hardware engineering, PC technical support, systems engineering, or a related industry. - Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and PCB layouts. - Experience using test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and/or logic analyzers. - Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills. - Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills. - Ability to collaborate effectively with customers and cross-functional teams. Preferred Qualifications list (many). We'll include them as part of Requirements maybe as a second list under same heading? Could separate into Skills? But we can combine into one Requirements section with two sub-lists: Required and Preferred. However the instruction says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested headings inside section. We could have

    Requirements

    then

    Required Qualifications:

    ... then

    Preferred Qualifications:

    ... That's okay. Benefits list: - Competitive salary dependent on experience (DOE) - Winning culture with a friendly, team-oriented environment! - Generous benefits package including medical, dental, vision, long-term disability, and life insurance. - Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - 401(k) with company match - Education & personal development reimbursement program - Generous vacation and paid holidays package - Company events, and lunches - Work from home program – once eligible - Referral Bonus Pay: we have Compensation: $75,000-$85,000. We'll put as

    under Pay heading. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. We'll include headings

    and paragraphs

    and lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Benefits list includes "Competitive salary dependent on experience (DOE)" which is okay; it's specific enough. Now produce final HTML. Let's craft:
