We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Castelion" then job title then description. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. Let's parse.
Content:
- About Castelion: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Castelion" is about company, not role. The instruction: use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. Let's parse.
Content:
- About Castelion: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Castelion" is about company, not role. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map sections accordingly. The posting includes "About Castelion" which could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we can treat as "About the role" maybe. However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Avionics Manufacturing Specialist (PCBA)". So we should not have heading with that. We can have "About the role" heading and include description of Castelion and role.
Then we have "Responsibilities" section with bullet list.
Then "Requirements and skills" then "Requirements & Qualifications" then "Additional Requirements" then "Leadership Qualities" then "ITAR Requirements" then benefits info: "All employees are granted long-term stock incentives... All employees receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance, and the company offers four weeks of paid time off per year."
Also mention "This will be an hourly, non-exempt position located in our Torrance facility." That could be schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe location. No explicit pay or schedule given. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because not stated.
Benefits: we have stock incentives, medical/vision/dental, 4 weeks PTO. So we can create Benefits section.
Qualifications: we have many bullet-like items under Requirements and skills, Requirements & Qualifications, Additional Requirements, Leadership Qualities, ITAR Requirements. We need to decide how to split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they have separate headings possible. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (experience, skills), Qualifications (maybe similar), Skills (maybe overlapping). Could combine into one "Requirements and Qualifications" but headings limited to given list. We could use "Requirements" for experience and technical skills, "Qualifications" for leadership/ITAR etc. Or we could just have one "Requirements" section covering all. But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can choose to include Requirements and Qualifications and Skills if we have distinct content.

Then Responsibilities- ... etc.
Then Requirements
Requirements
maybe combine the first bullet list (3+ years experience etc.) and the Requirements & Qualifications list? Could split: Requirements for technical experience, Qualifications for leadership/ITAR etc. But we have also Skills section maybe for soldering etc. However we have many overlapping. Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could make one Requirements section covering all technical and experience items, and one Qualifications section covering leadership and ITAR, and maybe Skills section for soldering etc. But we have many items; we could split logically: - Requirements: 3+ years avionics technician experience, experience reading wiring harness drawings, knowledge of IPC-610/620, proficient with test equipment, experience reading PCBA schematics and execute rework. - Qualifications: experience in R&D, high-speed production handling flight hardware, high-output environment constructing cables etc., ability to acclimate to changing assignments, excellent communication skills, superb focus, expertise in manufacturing/testing systems, familiarity with Atlassian tools, basic comprehension of electronic principles, project management skills. - Skills: experience with soldering PCBAs including tight spaces, etc. But the soldering experience is also under Requirements & Qualifications list. Could treat as Skills. Leadership Qualities could be part of Qualifications as well. ITAR Requirements could be its own section? Not in list but we could include under Qualifications or maybe as a separate section "ITAR Requirements" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we should not create other headings. So we must fold ITAR into either Qualifications or maybe a paragraph under Qualifications. Leadership Qualities also fold into Qualifications. Thus we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Let's extract content for each. About the role: as above. Responsibilities: list. Requirements: technical baseline: - 3+ years of avionics technician experience - Experience reading wiring harness drawings to build and troubleshoot laboratory and flight articles - Knowledge of and adherence to industry standards, such as IPC-610 and IPC-620 - Proficient with test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators. - Experience reading PCBA schematics and execute rework Qualifications: (leadership, experience, ITAR) - Experience in a research and development environment - Previous involvement in a high-speed production environment, handling flight hardware - Prior involvement in a high-output environment, involving hands-on experience in constructing cables, electro-mechanical devices, or building prototypes - Ability to acclimate to frequently changing assignments and a fast-paced working environment - Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, along with effective teamwork abilities - Superb focus and attention to detail, with remarkable work efficiency and accuracy - Expertise in manufacturing and repairing intricate testing systems - Familiarity with Atlassian tools such as SVN, Confluence, and JIRA - Basic comprehension of electronic principles and theory - Skills in project management - Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving.
