We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role (maybe from description), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: About the role (description paragraph). Responsibilities list. Essential Skills (maybe as Skills). Additional Skills & Qualifications (maybe combine). Work Environment (maybe not a required heading but could be part of About the role? Not listed as allowed heading; we can ignore or incorporate into About the role). Pay And Benefits: includes pay range and benefits list. Workplace Type: maybe not needed. Application Deadline: maybe not needed. About Actalent: boilerplate, remove. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph after Job Description). Responsibilities. Skills (maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications). Benefits. Pay. Schedule? Not explicitly given; travel up to 5% maybe schedule? Not a schedule. No explicit schedule. So we omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Benefits list includes many items; we must keep them. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Let's extract content: Job Title line: not needed. Job Description paragraph: "This role seeks a talented, self-motivated Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of custom automated machinery for a wide range of manufacturing industries and applications. You will manage mechanical engineering responsibilities and deliverables from initial concept through detailed design, machine build, debug, and commissioning at customer facilities. The position offers the opportunity to deepen expertise in complex machine design, robotics, and automation while serving as a technical specialist and mentor within the engineering team." That's About the role. Responsibilities: list items (each sentence). Let's capture each bullet: - Lead the mechanical design of custom automated machinery projects from conceptual phase through final design, build, debug, and commissioning at customer sites. - Develop deeper knowledge and skills in complex machine design, including robotics, grippers, servo control, and automated machine development and design. - Evaluate, select, and apply standard and advanced engineering techniques, procedures, and methods to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery of engineering outputs. - Work collaboratively with peers and cross-functional team members to meet project contractual requirements and technical objectives. - Participate actively in engineering design reviews, providing constructive feedback on team members’ technical work and documentation. - Influence and guide team members in the maturation and refinement of mechanical designs throughout the engineering lifecycle. - Represent the organization professionally in client-facing meetings and presentations, clearly communicating design concepts and project status. - Exercise sound independent judgment in decision-making and work effectively with minimal supervision. - Identify and resolve common engineering problems quickly, including reviewing and critiquing the work of others to improve quality and reliability. - Serve as a technical specialist within the department and may act as a mentor or coach for developing engineers. - Seek opportunities to challenge the status quo by proposing ideas and initiatives that improve efficiency, safety, and overall workflow. - Apply CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, or NX to create accurate 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings for machine components and systems. - Ensure that mechanical designs comply with applicable standards, best practices, and engineering principles. - Support integration, testing, and debug of automated machinery, working closely with controls and other engineering disciplines. - Provide occasional on-site support at customer facilities during installation, commissioning, and acceptance of automated equipment. Essential Skills: list items (each line). Let's capture: - Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline, or an associate’s degree from an accredited ABET/EAC program combined with relevant experience. - 5+ years of work experience as a Mechanical Engineer, preferably in machine or automation design. - Strong proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo, or NX, including SolidWorks 3D modeling for mechanical components and assemblies. - Demonstrated experience in mechanical design and machine design, particularly for custom automated machinery projects. - Proficient in applying standard and advanced engineering principles, practices, and procedures to complex mechanical systems. - Ability to supervise and guide the work of others based on sufficient technical knowledge and experience. - Extensive experience and sound judgment in solving engineering problems and making design decisions. - Ability to quickly recognize, troubleshoot, and resolve common engineering issues, including review and critique of others’ work. - Viewed as a technical specialist within an engineering department, with the capability to serve as a mentor or coach for developing engineers. - Experience in the automation industry, strongly preferred, including exposure to robotics, robots, grippers, servo control, and automated machine development and design. - Strong oral and written communication skills to interact effectively with internal teams and external clients. - Ability to work with minimal supervision while maintaining accountability for project deliverables and timelines. Additional Skills & Qualifications: list: - Experience with robotics, robotic systems, and end-of-arm tooling such as grippers in automated machine applications. - Experience in servo control systems and motion control integration within automated machinery. - Experience designing and developing custom automated machine solutions for diverse manufacturing environments. - Engineering-in-Training (EIT) certification is desirable but not mandatory. - Broad and deep experience in enterprise-level engineering problems and complex projects. - Demonstrated ability to influence design maturation and drive continuous improvement within engineering teams. - Interest in challenging existing processes and proposing improvements that enhance efficiency, safety, and workflow. - Willingness and ability to travel up to 5%, including occasional overnight and international trips to support project needs. Work Environment: paragraph: "The role is based in a professional engineering environment focused on the design and development of custom automated machinery. You will work with modern CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, and NX, and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, controls, and manufacturing professionals. The position involves primarily office and engineering lab work, with periodic visits to customer facilities for machine commissioning and support. Travel of up to approximately 5%, including overnight and international trips, may be required to oversee installation, debug, and acceptance of automated systems. The culture emphasizes technical excellence, collaboration, continuous learning, and proactive improvement of safety, efficiency, and workflow." We could incorporate this into About the role or maybe a separate section like Work Environment but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not create Work Environment heading. We could merge its content into About the role or Skills? Probably About the role can be expanded to include work environment details. That's okay as long as we preserve all substantive info. We'll add to About the role paragraph. Pay And Benefits: includes pay range and benefits list. We need separate Pay and Benefits sections? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. It says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have both pay and benefits; we could combine into one section "Pay and Benefits" but headings list includes Pay and Benefits as separate possible headings. However we could make a single section "Pay and Benefits" using

    Pay and Benefits

    and include both pay range and benefits list. That seems acceptable. The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to separate. We'll combine. We must not include filler like "Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors..." That's substantive, keep. Benefits list: items after "If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following:" then list. We'll keep all. We need to remove boilerplate like "Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms." That's still substantive? It's generic but still info about benefits. Might keep? It's not filler like "N/A". It's okay to keep. We must remove application instructions, etc. Now produce HTML:
