Automation Engineer - Advanced Manufacturing

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract content for each section. Let's identify sections: - "Who will you be working with?" and "How will you make a difference?" and "What do we want to know about you?" and "What will your typical day look like?" etc. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which content goes where. Typically: - About the role: overview of role, team, purpose. Could include "Who will you be working with?" and "How will you make a difference?" and maybe "What will your typical day look like?" but that is more responsibilities. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications (education, years experience, etc.) - Qualifications: preferred qualifications. - Skills: maybe specific technical skills. - Benefits: benefits info. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: maybe travel requirement? Not explicit schedule. There's "Ability to travel as required". That's not schedule like full-time/part-time. No explicit schedule. So we likely omit Schedule section. We must not create sections with placeholder text. Let's extract content. First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement, accommodation, etc. Remove those. Also remove "More information on offered benefits, which include health, welfare, and retirement, are available at mywabtecbenefits.com." That's benefits info but we can keep benefits summary? It says more info available at link. We can keep a brief statement about benefits: health, welfare, retirement, possible annual bonus. That's substantive. Also "Other benefit offerings for this role may include annual bonus, if eligible." Keep. Now, let's parse. Original text: Job Description Who will you be working with?

The salary rate for this role is currently $68900-98200. The actual salary offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors, such as: training, transferable skills, work experience, education, business needs, market demands and work location. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. 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. What could you accomplish in a place that puts People First? ... (culture etc) - we can keep some culture description? It's not required but could be part of About the role? It's substantive but maybe not needed. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that culture paragraph? It's substantive but not under any heading. However we must output only HTML fragment with headings as defined. We could put that under About the role as prose. It's okay. We need to remove EEO etc at end: "We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Remove. Now we need to structure. Let's create sections:

About the role

... combine who you work with, how you make a difference, typical day overview? Actually typical day is responsibilities. We'll put overview of role: who you work with, how you make a difference, maybe also the culture paragraph. We'll include the two paragraphs: Who will you be working with? and How will you make a difference? plus maybe the culture paragraph. But we must not repeat the job title as heading. We'll put:

Maybe also include culture paragraph: "What could you accomplish in a place that puts People First? ..." We'll include as a paragraph. Now Responsibilities section: combine the "What will your typical day look like? Responsibilities" list and also the earlier responsibilities mentioned? We'll just use the list under typical day. We need to output as
