We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Position Snapshot", "About you", "A Day In The Life" (with subsections), "Requirements", "Perks Of Being Part Of Our Team", "About us". We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to decide which sections correspond. We have content: Position Snapshot (description of role) could be "About the role". "About you" could be "Qualifications" or "Skills"? Actually "About you" describes personal attributes; could be "Qualifications". "A Day In The Life" includes responsibilities: solution development, pre-sales, technical support, training, travel. That fits "Responsibilities". "Requirements" is explicit. "Perks Of Being Part Of Our Team" is benefits. "About us" is company description; maybe not needed as a section; could be omitted or put in a paragraph? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We could include "About us" as a section? Not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings are limited to those eight. So we cannot create a heading like "About us". So we should incorporate that info maybe into a

under something else? But we must not invent sections. Probably we omit "About us" entirely, as it's not required heading. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep the "About us" info somewhere. Since we cannot create a heading not in list, we could put it as a

after the last section, without a heading. That's allowed: we can have prose paragraphs not under a heading. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid having extra paragraphs outside headings. So we can include a

for About us. Similarly, "On-Target Compensation" includes pay range; we should include a Pay section. It says "On-Target Compensation: $85,000 - $130,000 (Compensation is an estimate and includes base salary plus incentives and depends on skills, knowledge, education, location, and experience)". That's specific pay info, so we should include a Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned besides travel up to 25%; but schedule not explicit. No schedule details like full-time, shift, etc. So we should not create Schedule section. Benefits: we have perks list; we can make Benefits section. Skills: maybe we could separate skills from requirements? But we have Requirements section that includes both qualifications and skills. Could also have Skills section but we risk duplication. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine qualifications and skills into Requirements. Or we could have Requirements and Skills separate if there is distinct content. The posting has "Requirements What you will need:" list of education, experience, technical skills. That's both qualifications and skills. Could split but better to keep as Requirements. Thus sections: About the role (Position Snapshot), Responsibilities (A Day In The Life), Requirements (What you will need), Benefits (Perks Of Being Part Of Our Team), Pay (On-Target Compensation). Possibly also Qualifications? But we already have Requirements covering qualifications. Could also add Qualifications separate if we want to split education vs skills, but that would be thin. Better to keep as Requirements. We need to output HTML fragment: use

for each section heading. Inside each, use
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information: include location remote in Nashville, TN, Charlotte, NC or Atlanta, GA area. Include position snapshot text. Include about you text. Include day in the life bullet points (they are already in paragraphs with line breaks). We need to convert to list items where appropriate. Let's extract content. Position Snapshot: "The Application Engineer provides technical expertise in motion control, drive systems, and industrial automation. This role supports customers with application development, drive and servo system selection, commissioning, troubleshooting, and machine performance optimization while partnering closely with Sales to develop differentiated motion solutions." About you: "You’re naturally analytical, detail-oriented, and love solving complex problems, especially when it helps customers succeed. You bring a strong foundation in industrial automation and enjoy translating technical challenges into practical, value-driven solutions. You’re a strong communicator who partners seamlessly with sales team members to drive results, building trust quickly and becoming a go-to resource for both customers and internal teams. You are considered reliable, customer-focused, and collaborative, and you take pride in being the person others count on to get it right and keep things moving forward." A Day In The Life: It has headings: Solution Development & Engineering, Pre-Sales, Sales & Customer Engagement, Technical Support & Product Expertise, Training & Demonstrations, Travel. Under each there are sentences. We could treat each bullet as a list item under Responsibilities. Or we could keep headings inside responsibilities? But we only allowed

    for section headings; we could have nested headings? Not specified. Safer to flatten into a list of responsibilities. Let's list responsibilities: - Develop system and application solutions, including motion architecture, system topology, and software design - Create customer-specific application software and support full project lifecycle (prototype through commissioning) - Configure and commission drives (VFDs, inverters, servo systems) and develop PLC/HMI programs - Support testing, start-up, and field validation of automation solutions - Capture and standardize application knowledge into reusable tools and best practices - Partner with Sales to develop solution concepts aligned to customer requirements - Provide technical support during pre-sales activities, including customer meetings, workshops, and presentations - Assist in preparing proposals and identifying upsell or cross-sell opportunities - Build strong customer relationships and support overall sales growth objectives - Deliver advanced technical support to customers and internal teams (remote and onsite) - Size and select appropriate products and solutions based on application needs - Support commissioning and troubleshooting during system start-up - Conduct product demonstrations and deliver technical training to customers and internal teams - Develop training materials, application documentation, and technical guides - Support ongoing technical development within the Sales organization - Travel up to 25% across the region for customer support, sales activities, and training Requirements: list: - Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Mechatronics, Robotics, or Mechanical Engineering or relevant experience - Proficient in IEC 61131-3 programming languages (Ladder, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram) - Experience with motion control systems, PLC’s, HMI programming and industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, CAN, Ethernet-IP, RS232/485) - Strong mechatronics background, integrating mechanical, electrical, and software systems - Skilled in machine commissioning and creating application/machine specifications - Familiarity with wiring diagrams and troubleshooting customer wiring - Preferred experience with Visual Basic, Windows-based software installation and setup - Knowledge of machine safety standards and project management practices - Solid understanding of Windows OS and Microsoft tools (Excel, Word, Outlook, Visio, MS Project) - Ability to travel up to 25%, including overnight travel within the region Benefits (Perks): - Blue Cross Blue Shield Medical Insurance – multiple plan options - Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental Insurance - FSA, HSA options - Vision Insurance - 401k with company match, fully vested - Paid Time Off - 10 company paid holidays - Company paid disability & AD&D insurance - 100% paid parental leave after one year of service - Supplemental insurance plans (Identity theft, cyber protection, additional life, etc.) - Tuition reimbursement - Many of our positions offer flexible schedules to meet your needs - Relaxed business casual environment - Sit/Stand desks for onsite office positions - Frequent team building activities - Career development opportunities Pay: On-Target Compensation: $85,000 - $130,000 (Compensation is an estimate and includes base salary plus incentives and depends on skills, knowledge, education, location, and experience) Also location: Remote in the Nashville, TN, Charlotte, NC or Atlanta, GA area. Could be included in About the role paragraph or a separate

    under About the role. Also "About us" paragraph: we need to preserve that info. We'll add a

    after the sections, maybe without heading. Let's craft HTML. Structure:
