We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content about the opportunity, description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc. No explicit Pay or Schedule info (except hybrid telework schedule mention). Schedule: hybrid telework mentioned, but not explicit schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated, so we can include Benefits. Schedule: they mention hybrid telework eligibility, additional in-office days may be required. That's schedule info, so we can include Schedule section. Pay: not mentioned, so omit. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The posting includes multiple job titles: Associate Telecommunications Engineer, Assistant Telecommunications Engineer, Electrical Engineer. We should not repeat them as headings. Use sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all details from posting, but we can structure them. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's some like "Department Information" etc. We need to keep substantive info: description of PSC, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, schedule, etc. Also need to keep "Applications are scheduled to be released to the hiring manager on the following dates:" maybe that's metadata, could be minor, but we can drop or put in short p. 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 application dates. We need to avoid duplication: there is repeated text about PSC responsibilities etc. We need to preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate repeated paragraphs. Let's extract unique substantive content: - Intro: "Join the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and be part of an organization that serves as a leader in emergency management and homeland security through dedicated service to all. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our team." - About the Opportunity: "The Public Safety Communications (PSC), Radio Communications Branch, Client Engineering Divisions are responsible for a wide array of engineering activities and services related to the PSC systems engineering and design for public safety agencies of the State of California. Under direction of a Senior Telecommunications Engineer, the position ensures engineering services for PSC meet the critical operational requirements of the state." - Then repeated for Associate Telecommunications Engineer etc. Actually the same paragraph appears multiple times. We'll keep one. - Then description for Assistant Telecommunications Engineer: "Public Safety Communications (PSC), Client Engineering Division, Statewide Interoperability unit, also known as the California Radio Interoperable System or CRIS unit, is responsible for a wide array of engineering activities and services related to the public safety communications systems engineering and design for public safety agencies, including both State and non-State entities, operating within the State of California. Under the supervision of the Senior Telecommunications Engineer, the Assistant Telecommunications Engineer provides direction to maintenance technical staff for the installation and maintenance of new systems, and solutions to problems with existing systems. In large system implementations of average difficulty, the incumbent assists engineering lead persons. The incumbent performs duties of increasing responsibility such as developing technical reports and equipment selection criteria; providing project cost estimates for parts and labor; and notifying the supervisor of risks to the project’s budget, schedule, and scope. Additionally, the incumbent ensures engineering services for public safety communications meet the critical operational requirements of the state. This position may be rotated within the Client Engineering Division or the Microwave Engineering Division based on factors that include cross-training and workload management." - Then Electrical Engineer description similar but slightly different: "Public Safety Communications (PSC), Client Engineering Division, Statewide Interoperability Unit, also known as the California Radio Interoperable System or the CRIS Unit, is responsible for a wide array of engineering activities and services related to the PSC systems engineering and design for public safety agencies, including both State and non-State entities, operating within the State of California. Under the direction of a Senior Telecommunications Engineer, the Electrical Engineer assists Associate and Senior engineers in providing direction to maintenance technical staff for the installation of new systems or maintenance and solutions to problems with existing systems. In large system implementations, the incumbent assists engineering lead persons. The incumbent participates in developing technical reports and equipment selection criteria, provides project cost estimates for parts and labor, and notifies supervisor of risks to project budget, schedule, or scope. Additionally, the incumbent ensures engineering services for public safety communications meet the critical operational requirements of the state. This position may be rotated within the Client Engineering Division or the Microwave Engineering Division based on factors that include cross-training and workload management." - Applications dates: "Applications are scheduled to be released to the hiring manager on the following dates: September 18, 2026 October 2, 2026 October 16, 2026" - Working Conditions: Hybrid Telework eligibility, DMV Pull Program required, Conflict of Interest, Department Information (diverse culture, mission, etc.), PSC Technical Services Branch description, emergency contact, travel requirements. - Desirable Qualifications: list for Associate Telecommunications Engineer (but seems generic). We'll capture bullet points. - Benefits: list. We need to structure into sections. Section headings:

About the role

– include intro and opportunity description.

Responsibilities

– include duties from Assistant Telecommunications Engineer and Electrical Engineer descriptions (maybe combine). Could list bullet points.

Requirements

– maybe include education, experience? But we have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have Desirable Qualifications (experience, certifications, education). Also we have "Education" bullet. We could put Requirements for mandatory? Not explicitly given. Might combine Requirements and Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include Requirements (maybe mandatory: valid Driver's License, DMV Pull Program, Conflict of Interest). Qualifications (desirable experience, education). Skills (communication, analytical, etc.). Benefits as given. Schedule (hybrid telework). Pay omitted. We must not invent content. So we need to ensure each section has real content. Let's extract: About the role: Intro + opportunity description. Responsibilities: duties listed for Assistant Telecommunications Engineer and Electrical Engineer (provide direction to maintenance tech staff, installation/maintenance, develop technical reports, equipment selection criteria, project cost estimates, notify supervisor of risks, ensure engineering services meet requirements, possibly rotation). Also maybe mention assisting engineering lead persons in large system implementations. Requirements: maybe "Valid Driver’s License (DL) required; participation in DMV Pull Program required; must provide DL number, class, expiration date, endorsements/restrictions; Conflict of Interest Code requiring Form 700 within 30 days of appointment." Also maybe "Hybrid telework eligibility" but that's schedule. Qualifications: Desirable Qualifications list: 3+ years experience designing/developing LMR systems, RF subsystems; 3+ years experience performing RF system design, propagation modeling, FCC licensing, field survey reporting, system performance testing; 1+ years hands-on operation of advanced RF test equipment; 1+ years practical experience with IP networking and architecture, preferably Motorola ASTRO 25 or similar P25 core network; Excellent written and verbal communication skills; Ability to work independently, lead small technical efforts, provide guidance to junior engineering staff; Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; Optional/Preferred Certifications: CCNA, Network+, advanced networking certs; P25 Radio System Fundamentals, P25 Trunking, Motorola ASTRO 25 System Architecture training; Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or related technical field. Skills: maybe overlap with Qualifications but we can separate: communication skills, analytical/problem-solving, ability to work independently/lead small teams, guidance to junior staff, etc. But we might duplicate. Could combine Qualifications and Skills but headings separate. We need to avoid filler. Perhaps put communication, analytical, leadership under Skills, and experience/education under Qualifications. Benefits: list: Free Parking, Electric Carport, Excellent CalPERS state pension plan, 401(k) and 457(b) Plans, Flexible Schedules, Generous paid time off, Health, dental & vision insurance for employee or family, Investment in careers development. Schedule: Hybrid Telework: eligible for hybrid work schedule; additional in-office days may be required based on business need. We also have other info: Department Information, PSC Technical Services Branch, emergency contact, travel requirements. Where to place? Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could add a section "Additional Information" but not allowed headings. We could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities as prose. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we must not add extra headings. So we need to embed that info within existing sections, maybe under About the role or Responsibilities. Let's embed Department Information and PSC Technical Services Branch description under About the role (after opportunity). Also embed emergency contact, travel requirements under Responsibilities or About the role. We need to ensure we don't create new headings. Thus final HTML will have:

We also need to include application dates maybe as a short p under About the role or after? Could be minor metadata; we can include a short p. Make sure not to repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. Now craft content. Let's write About the role paragraph: "Join the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and be part of an organization that serves as a leader in emergency management and homeland security through dedicated service to all. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our team." Opportunity: "The Public Safety Communications (PSC), Radio Communications Branch, Client Engineering Divisions are responsible for a wide array of engineering activities and services related to the PSC systems engineering and design for public safety agencies of the State of California.
