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 where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract sections:
- "Who will you be working with?" is a paragraph describing collaboration. Could be "About the role" maybe. The instruction says use
for sections 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. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job description.
Let's extract sections:
- "Who will you be working with?" is a paragraph describing collaboration. Could be "About the role" maybe. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide appropriate headings.
We have content:
- Intro: "Who will you be working with?" paragraph describing cross-functional teams.
- "How will you make a difference?" paragraph describing role responsibilities.
- "What do we want to know about you?" includes qualifications: Bachelor's degree..., 3+ years..., hands-on experience..., ability to design..., experience with robot simulation..., strong understanding..., effective project execution..., ability to travel...
- Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- "What will your typical day look like?" then "Responsibilities" list.
- Additional Information includes salary range, benefits link, other benefits.
- Then "What could you accomplish..." etc (company culture) maybe not needed? It's more fluff but still substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's about culture, maybe keep as "About the company"? But not in list of allowed headings. Could be omitted? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can include sections: About the role (maybe combine who you work with and how you make a difference), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and preferred qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to include Pay if salary range present: yes "$68900-98200". So Pay section.
Benefits: mention health, welfare, retirement, annual bonus if eligible, link. So Benefits section.
Schedule: not mentioned. So omit.
Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: ability to design automation concepts, cell layouts, tooling approaches, equipment interfaces; experience with robot simulation, offline programming; strong understanding of machine safety, controls, integration, manufacturing processes, production readiness; effective project execution, problem-solving, documentation, cross-functional collaboration; ability to travel. Also preferred qualifications list many specific skills. Could put under Skills.
Requirements: maybe the mandatory qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 3+ years experience, hands-on experience, ability to design..., experience with robot simulation..., strong understanding..., effective project execution..., ability to travel.
Preferred Qualifications separate? Could be under Requirements as well, but we could have a separate "Preferred Qualifications" heading but not in allowed list. Could fold into Requirements or Skills. Probably better to have Requirements (mandatory) and Skills (preferred). But we need to follow allowed headings list; we can still use other headings if they are substantive? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should stick to those.
Thus we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: combine "Who will you be working with?" and "How will you make a difference?" maybe.
- Responsibilities: the list under "What will your typical day look like? Responsibilities" (the bullet list). Also maybe some responsibilities from earlier paragraphs? But we can include that list.
- Requirements: mandatory qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 3+ years, hands-on experience, ability to design concepts, experience with robot simulation, strong understanding..., effective project execution..., ability to travel). Also maybe "Preferred Qualifications" could be considered Requirements? But we could put them under Skills.
- Qualifications: maybe we could use for education? But we already have Requirements. Could use Qualifications for degree and experience? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we put degree under Qualifications, experience under Requirements? But better to follow typical pattern: Qualifications includes education and experience; Skills includes technical skills. However we have both mandatory and preferred. Let's decide:
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Automation/Controls, Robotics Engineering, or related discipline. 3+ years of industrial automation, manufacturing engineering, robotics, controls, or advanced manufacturing experience.
Requirements: Hands-on experience applying industrial robots and automation equipment in a production environment. Ability to design automation concepts, cell layouts, tooling approaches, and equipment interfaces. Experience with robot or manufacturing simulation, offline programming, or digital manufacturing tools. Strong understanding of machine safety, controls, integration, manufacturing processes, and production readiness. Effective project execution, problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Ability to travel as required to support enterprise manufacturing sites.
Skills: Preferred qualifications list (Automation or robotics experience in high-volume manufacturing environment; Industrial robots (FANUC preferred; ABB, KUKA, or Yaskawa/Motoman experience also valuable); Robot simulation and offline programming tools such as FANUC ROBOGUIDE, Process Simulate, Visual Components, or equivalent; 3D CAD, equipment layouts, reach studies, cycle-time analysis, and design-for-automation; Machine vision, inspection, and robotic guidance systems; Automated material handling, end-of-arm tooling, fixtures, and sensor integration; PLCs, HMIs, industrial networking, MES, SCADA, OEE, or manufacturing data systems; FAT, SAT, commissioning, production launch, and structured root-cause problem solving; Lean or Six Sigma certification).
Benefits: health, welfare, retirement, annual bonus if eligible, link to mywabtecbenefits.com.
Pay: salary range $68900-98200.
Schedule: not present, omit.
We also need to include the responsibilities list under Responsibilities heading.
Let's extract responsibilities list:
From "What will your typical day look like? Responsibilities" then bullet list:
- Support automation projects from concept through production launch.
- Evaluate manufacturing processes and identify practical automation opportunities.
- Develop automation concepts, layouts, simulations, cycle-time estimates, and technical specifications.
- Perform robot reach, payload, interference, and process simulations to reduce project risk.
- Support capital estimates, ROI business cases, equipment scopes, and project documentation.
- Participate in vendor selection, RFQs, design reviews, FAT, SAT, commissioning, and startup.
- Work with controls, manufacturing, quality, maintenance, EHS, suppliers, and integrators to resolve technical issues.
- Troubleshoot and optimize existing robotic and automated manufacturing systems.
- Document lessons learned and help replicate successful automation solutions across sites.
- Support Automation & Advanced Manufacturing standards, roadmap, and preferred technology strategy.
- Evaluate emerging technologies including robotics, vision, simulation, digital twins, and AI-enabled manufacturing.
- Provide hands-on technical support and knowledge sharing for site engineering teams.
We need to output as - for each.
Now About the role: combine the two paragraphs:
Paragraph 1: "Who will you be working with? You will partner with cross-functional teams across operations, product engineering, maintenance, quality, procurement, information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), environmental health & safety (EHS), and business leadership to deliver advanced manufacturing automation solutions across the global supply chain (GSC) consisting of all business segments. This role collaborates closely with manufacturing sites, technical specialists, external automation suppliers, and system integrators to identify, design, simulate, deploy, and optimize automation solutions that improve safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost performance."
Paragraph 2: "How will you make a difference? As part of the Automation & Advanced Manufacturing organization, you will support the development and deployment of automation solutions for machining, fabrication, assembly, material handling, and related manufacturing processes across multiple sites and business units. You will apply practical automation and robotics experience to convert manufacturing needs into safe, repeatable, production-ready concepts. As a member of the Automation & Advanced Manufacturing team, you will support the development, justification, design, simulation, implementation, and optimization of manufacturing automation systems across a diverse industrial environment. This role combines hands-on engineering with project execution. You will serve as a technical resource for robotics, automation, machine integration, simulation, vision, and advanced manufacturing systems. Experience gained in automotive or another high-volume, highly automated manufacturing environment is especially valuable."
We'll combine into a few paragraphs under About the role.
Now Qualifications: Bachelor's degree..., 3+ years...
Now Requirements: list of hands-on experience etc.
Now Skills: preferred qualifications list.
Now Benefits: health, welfare, retirement, annual bonus if eligible, link.
Now Pay: salary range.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. The text includes "More information on offered benefits, which include health, welfare, and retirement, are available at mywabtecbenefits.com. Other benefit offerings for this role may include annual bonus, if eligible." That's fine.
Also includes "What could you accomplish in a place that puts People First?" etc. That's more fluff; maybe we can omit as not needed for sections. It's not required to preserve all substantive information? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That fluff may be considered substantive? It's about culture and mission. Could be considered substantive but not fitting into headings. However we could include it under About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph about company mission. But the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another paragraph under About the role is okay.
But we must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning. The final paragraphs about culture and "We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer." That is EEO boilerplate; must remove. Also "Need accommodation? Just let us know - we’ve got you." That's also EEO/accommodation statement; remove.
Also "Learn more at www.WabtecCorp.com." That's maybe okay but could be considered boilerplate? It's a link to company site; might be okay to keep? It's not a heading; could be included in About the role as a link. But it's not essential. Might be safe to keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The link to corporate site is not necessarily boilerplate; it's just a link. Could keep.
But the paragraph about culture and "We’re lifelong learners, obsessed with better." etc is not EEO; it's culture description. Might be okay to keep.
We'll include a short paragraph under About the role after the two paragraphs: "Wabtec is a leading global provider of equipment, systems, digital solutions, and value-added services for the freight and transit rail sectors..." etc. That's substantive about company. We'll keep.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
