We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when there is real content. We need to parse the job posting content. Let's extract relevant parts: - Opening: "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page! Job details: 30-40% Division Growth This Year + Fortune 200 Backing with Small-Company Autonomy + Top-Tier PPO Benefits + 401k Match That Grows With You + Promote-From-Within Career Path + Relocation Assistance Available This Jobot Job is hosted by: Dominique DeMarco Are you a fit? Easy Apply now by clicking the "Easy Apply" button and sending us your resume. Salary: $70,000 - $130,000 per year" - Then "A bit about us: ..." - Then "Why join us?" bullet points. - Then "Job Details This position joins a global applications team. ..." - Then "What You'll Do" list. - Then "What You'll Bring" list. - Then "Preferred" list. - Then "Logistics Travel up to 30-40%, realistically about one week per month, predominantly domestic Valid passport required for occasional international travel Primarily seated computer work with periodic hands-on equipment operation; occasional light lifting to 25 pounds Relocation assistance may be considered for qualified candidates" - Then "Interested in hearing more? Easy Apply now by clicking the "Easy Apply" button." - Then EEO boilerplate etc. We need to remove application instructions (Easy Apply etc.) and boilerplate. We need to keep substantive info: Salary, growth, benefits, autonomy, etc. Also "A bit about us" description. "Why join us?" points. Job Details description. Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (What You'll Bring). Preferred qualifications. Logistics (Travel, relocation assistance). Possibly Benefits section (they mention Top-Tier PPO Benefits, 401k match, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave, etc). Also "Relocation Assistance Available". Also "Promote-From-Within Career Path". Also "Fortune 200 Backing with Small-Company Autonomy". Also "30-40% Division Growth This Year". Also "Top-Tier PPO Benefits". Also "401k Match That Grows With You". Also "Tuition reimbursement". Also "Paid parental leave". Also "Work-life balance that holds. The role is flexible and the team consistently reports balance as a strength." We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe combine A bit about us and Why join us?). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (What You'll Bring). Qualifications (maybe Preferred?). Skills (maybe combine). Benefits (list benefits). Pay (salary). Schedule (maybe travel/logistics? but schedule maybe not explicit; they mention travel up to 30-40%, one week per month, flexible role, work-life balance). Could put under Schedule or maybe under Benefits? The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We must not create a section if content is vague like "not specified". We have specific content for each. Let's extract: About the role: Could be "A bit about us: ..." plus maybe "Why join us?" but that is more about why join. Could treat "About the role" as description of role and company. We'll include both paragraphs. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" bullet list. Requirements: The "What You'll Bring" bullet list (Bachelor's degree, 2-3 years experience, etc.) Qualifications: Could be the "Preferred" bullet list (Preferred Familiarity...). Or we could treat "Qualifications" as the same as Requirements? But we have both sections; we can put Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred. Skills: Could be extracted from requirements like "Strong written and verbal communication, ability to work across all levels", "Working knowledge of statistical tools", etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can omit Skills if content overlaps; but we need to avoid thin sections. Better to combine skills into Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications, we can skip Skills unless we have distinct skill list not covered. The posting includes "Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to work across all levels of the organization including production teams" under What You'll Bring. That's a skill. Also "Ability to build process engineering test plans and procedures". That's also a skill. So we could put those under Skills. But we already have them in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could move them to Skills and keep Requirements more about education/experience. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can reorganize but must not lose info. It's okay to move content between sections as long as we keep it. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep them in Requirements; Skills section could be omitted if no distinct content beyond what's already covered. Safer to omit Skills to avoid thin section. Benefits: We have Top-Tier PPO Benefits, 401k match that grows with you, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave, relocation assistance available, promote-from-within career path, autonomy, Fortune 200 backing, 30-40% growth, work-life balance, flexible role. Also "Benefits that are part of the paycheck. PPO plans still on the table with a low family coverage cost, plus a 401k match that accelerates with age, tuition reimbursement, and paid parental leave." Also "Relocation assistance may be considered for qualified candidates". Also "Promote-From-Within Career Path". Also "Work-life balance that holds. The role is flexible and the team consistently reports balance as a strength." Also "Autonomy is structural, not aspirational." Also "Decision-making is pushed low". Also "Culture backed by data." etc. Many of these are more cultural/benefits. We'll include them under Benefits. Pay: Salary range $70,000 - $130,000 per year. Schedule: Travel up to 30-40%, realistically about one week per month, predominantly domestic; valid passport required for occasional international travel; primarily seated computer work with periodic hands-on equipment operation; occasional light lifting to 25 pounds; flexible role; work-life balance. Also maybe mention "Primarily seated computer work". We'll put under Schedule. Now we need to format using

headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, application instructions, duplicated lines. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include "Easy Apply" etc. Let's craft. First, maybe a short paragraph for metadata like hosted by Dominique DeMarco? Could be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short

    or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a short p for "Hosted by Dominique DeMarco". But it's minor; we could drop it. Safer to drop. Now produce HTML:

    About the role

    We design, build, and support the capital equipment used to assemble printed circuit boards and serve adjacent industrial applications. Our division operates across 11 countries with primary manufacturing in the US and Asia, and pairs equipment manufacturing with a global aftermarket parts and service business. We sit inside a Fortune 200 diversified manufacturer, but we operate in a decentralized way: the division operates like a mid-size company, with decisions made close to the work rather than handed down from a corporate tower. We're on pace for 30-40% growth this year as demand for electronics accelerates.

    Why join us? Autonomy is structural, not aspirational. Decision-making is pushed low into the organization. You will own outcomes you can actually point to. Culture backed by data. Engagement scores sit in the low-to-mid 80s, turnover is low, and tenure runs long. Benefits that are part of the paycheck. PPO plans still on the table with a low family coverage cost, plus a 401k match that accelerates with age, tuition reimbursement, and paid parental leave. A leader who has done the job. Your manager came up through this exact role before being promoted, so coaching is grounded in the work rather than theory. Real career runway. We build from within. A documented application engineering career path exists, and this role also opens doors into product management, operations, and engineering leadership. Work-life balance that holds. The role is flexible and the team consistently reports balance as a strength.

    That seems to combine About and Why join us. Might be okay. Now Responsibilities:

    • Contribute to factory acceptance testing and site acceptance testing
    • Support new product introduction, including customer ramp-up and internal machine readiness
    • Assist with project design, specification development, testing, and documentation under the Product Technology Manager
    • Support engineering trials for new product development: setup, execution, data collection
    • Maintain and operate demo and engineering lab equipment
    • Troubleshoot customer process and equipment issues to reduce downtime
    • Support quotes, non-standard requests, and equipment upgrade proposals
    • Participate in software and hardware testing, including bug identification and validation
    • Capture and communicate Voice of Customer input back into product improvement
    • Create and maintain manuals, application notes, and internal process guides
    • Support trade shows and marketing events
    Now Requirements:

    Requirements

    • Foundational understanding of electro-mechanical systems across electrical, mechanical, and software
    • Familiarity with quality control standards and workmanship requirements in manufacturing
    • General knowledge of product applications, features, and related manufacturing processes
    • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to work across all levels of the organization including production teams
    Now Qualifications (Preferred):

    Qualifications

    • Familiarity with electronics manufacturing processes including SMT, cleaning, and through-hole
    • Exposure to SMT line equipment such as reflow ovens, wave soldering systems, and cleaning equipment
    • Knowledge of electronics assembly materials: underfill, adhesives, UV epoxies, solder paste, fluxes, cleaning agents
    • Understanding of semiconductor applications and related manufacturing
