We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. However Pay section: they gave salary range: $120,200- $180,400. That's specific, so we can include Pay section. Benefits: they gave description of benefits: health insurance, 401(k), disability, life insurance, employee stock purchase plan, paid time off and voluntary benefits. That's specific, so include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Skills: maybe we can include from requirements? But we have Requirements and Qualifications sections. The posting includes "Job Requirements" and "What Your Background Should Look Like". We can map those to Requirements and Qualifications. Also maybe Skills separate? Could combine. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll have sections: About the role (maybe from Job Overview), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe Skills? The "Competencies Values" could be Skills? But they are values. Could be considered Skills? Might be better to include a Skills section for competencies like 8D, FMEA, MSA, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we can keep Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll include both if they have distinct content.
Let's extract content:
Job Overview: "At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. Job Overview Crucial member of the project core team and acts as a voice of the customer for quality related topics within the LEANPD / New Product Development process. Responsible for the quality of the project launch as well as the quality tasks of the project, including the entire project from the initial design through production release and customer PPAP approval (G5), at which point when the quality responsibilities are transferred from advanced quality to manufacturing quality (Factory Quality)."
We can make About the role section: combine that overview.
Responsibilities: list of duties from after Job Requirements? Actually the block after "Job Overview" includes many responsibilities: leading cross-functional teams, evaluating requirements, securing process, ensuring tasks done correctly, quality planning, documentation, ITAR, supporting design review, product validation, supporting until transfer, collecting variations, 8D problem solving team leader, supports FMEA, leads MSA, Control Plan owner, drives Lessons Learned, drives monitoring KPIs, supports implementation/training of quality standards, collaborates introducing/training software, hosts/leads audits, collects/checks customer production approval docs, audits APQP documents, supports improvement of APQP system, promotes quality culture, represents company to customer, reviews LEANPD deliverables before PAC, etc.
We need to put those as
- items.
Requirements: "Ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority." etc. Actually many of those are responsibilities. The "Job Requirements" heading appears before a list of abilities. Let's capture that block:
"Job Requirements Ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority. Evaluates together with the core team members the customer requirements, compliance requirements and internal requirements and supports clarification of imprecise requirements to achieve clear product specifications. Secures that the defined development process is being followed including checklist applied, project reviews held, risk analyses conducted and escalates to his/her manager as needed. Ensures that each task within the project is done correctly and with the quality required for a successful launch of the project. Ensure quality planning, documentation, and customer submissions comply with ITAR and export control requirements. Supports the design and drawing review meetings to achieve the quality standard, structure, and content. Make sure the product & design validation is planned and executed successfully prior to Start of Production (SOP). Supports the project until it is mature enough to be transferred to Manufacturing Quality teams. Collects, registers, supports and evaluates any variations from customer requirements during LEANPD projects. The AQE is the 8D problem solving team leader for issues during product development. Supports but does not own the FMEA. Acts as FMEA moderator and quality authority, ensuring robustness and risk adequacy to achieve the quality standard, structure, and content. Leads and coordinates Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and completed per LEANPD requirements Control Plan owner and will lead Control Plan meetings including assigning actions and ensuring they are completed. Supports and promotes product standardization as well as updates to the design standards Responsible for driving the “Lessons Learned” process and “Read Across” of lessons during project start and project development and in case of customer complaints during project phase to avoid re-occurrence for new developments. Drives monitoring and improvement of development process KPIs and implementation of process improvements. Supports the implementation and training of quality standards and improvements to existing development processes and sub-processes in engineering departments Collaborates introducing and training of quality and engineering related software packages, quality procedures and systems. Hosts and leads audits as a part of a LEANPD project Collects and checks the quality and content of the customer production approval documentation and is responsible for any submission to customer, as well as gaining customer approval. Audits APQP documents, such as DFMEA, PFMEA, process flowchart and production control plan and ensures responsible parties effectively close his/her findings. Supports improvement of existing APQP system by giving feedback and input to process owners Promotes quality culture by supervising and consulting on methods and tools. e.g. 8D training, root cause analysis, risk management, variant comparison Represents the company to the customer in quality-related tasks during the LEANPD project Reviews LEANPD deliverables in advance of Project Approval Committee (PAC) to make sure projects are ready to be presented on the PAC meetings, escalating to management instances where deliverables are not satisfactorily met."
That seems like a huge list of responsibilities, maybe overlapping with earlier responsibilities. But we can treat that as Responsibilities. The "What Your Background Should Look Like" is qualifications.
Thus:
About the role: first paragraph.
Responsibilities: the big list from Job Requirements (maybe we can split into bullet points). We'll need to break into sensible bullet items.
Qualifications: B.S. degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or related field; 8+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, with significant involvement in NPI / APQP activities for regulated products; Knowledge of quality related activities, particularly APQP; Knowledge of Industry Standards such as AS9100, ISO13485 and ISO22163; Problem Solving Abilities using 8D methodology; Knowledge in core tools such as: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC and MSA; Internal Systems Auditor; Experience with software for creating FMEAs and Control Plans (APIS IQ-RM Pro preferred); Experience using statistical software such as Minitab; Certified Six Sigma Black or Green Belt; Export Control Requirement (must be U.S. Person as defined by ITAR). Also maybe "Competencies Values: Integrity, Accountability, Inclusion, Innovation, Teamwork" could be Skills? But we can include as Skills section.
Benefits: "A comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, 401(k), disability, life insurance, employee stock purchase plan, paid time off and voluntary benefits."
Pay: "Competitive base salary commensurate with experience: $120,200- $180,400 (subject to change dependent on physical location)". Also note about total compensation etc. We'll include Pay section with that range.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content? Actually it's okay to include that phrase inside Pay section. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". That means we shouldn't have a Pay heading with only that phrase as content. But we have actual numbers, so it's fine.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, fraud notice, etc. Remove those.
Now produce HTML fragment:
