We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - About the role: description of Stratolaunch and role. The first paragraph: "Stratolaunch is a technology accelerator that engineers operationally realistic testing at Mach 5+. Our air-launched, Talon testbeds are reusable, cost-effective platforms that enable routine access to the hypersonic environment. We deliver flight data critical to validating system performance and achieving rapid technology deployment. Together with our customers, we drive innovations that are imperative to advancing national security. To help achieve these efforts, Stratolaunch is seeking a level II, Sr-, or Staff-level Mechanical Engineer to support the development and improvement of air-launched, hypersonic flight vehicle avionics systems and units. This position requires working within a multi-disciplined group of engineers to generate requirements, design, analyze, manufacture, test, and integrate avionics systems. An ideal candidate has significant electronics/avionics packaging and basic structural and thermal analyses experience." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: list under "Essential Responsibilities". Many bullet points. - Qualifications & Skills: includes "Qualifications & Skills" with subparts: Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Required Computer Skills, Preferred Computer Skills, Education & Experience. We need to decide sections: maybe "Qualifications", "Skills". The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications and Skills separate. We have "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Required Computer Skills", "Preferred Computer Skills", "Education & Experience". Could combine into Qualifications and Skills sections. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to list each bullet. - Benefits: listed: "Healthcare (medical, dental, vision, prescription drugs) Paid Maternity and Parental Leave 50% company match per contributed dollar into 401(k) savings plan, up to $11,500 Tuition reimbursement". Also maybe other benefits? That's it. - Pay: Not explicitly given; says "Base salary and leveling are established on a case-by-case basis." That's vague, not a specific number. According to rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says base salary established case-by-case, not a specific figure. That's not a concrete pay. Likely we should not include Pay section because no specific pay. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they say base salary and leveling are established case-by-case; that's vague but not a specific number. It's essentially "not specified". So we should omit Pay section. - Schedule: mentions "Position may require alternative shift work and/or weekend work." Also "Travel, as needed". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that content. - Location: "Position based in Mojave, CA." plus description of area. That's not a standard heading but could be part of About the role or maybe separate? Not in list of headings. We could include location within About the role or maybe as a separate section? The instruction only lists those headings; we can add other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings; location can be included in About the role paragraph. - Also "Special remarks regarding work environment, if applicable" includes location and shift etc. We already captured shift in Schedule, location in About. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and
  • for lists,

    for prose. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract responsibilities list: "Essential Responsibilities Contribute to and work with a diverse team of mechanical, avionics, and manufacturing engineers Perform and/or support requirements development or maturation for avionics systems and units Design electronic enclosures for avionics components and create 3D CAD models Perform structural, heat transfer and thermal hand calcs and basic analyses simulations Create production drawings and work closely with machine shops and production teams to ensure designs are manufacturable Support manufacturing to ensure units installed appropriately Support test planning, perform failure analysis, and support hardware and software qualification and flight testing. Develop and optimize packaging processes to improve yield and reliability, setting process monitors and pass/fail metrics. Prepare content for, and present at, design and test readiness reviews Regular and comprehensive communication to program Avionics, Structures and Manufacturing Lead, as appropriate Demonstrate honesty, responsibility, integrity and fulfillment of commitments" We'll put each as

  • . Now Qualifications & Skills: Let's extract. "Qualifications & Skills To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential responsibility satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Required Qualifications Knowledge of, and experience with, one or more of these disciplines (in order of priority): electronics packaging, mechanical design, mechanical manufacturing, avionics manufacturing, and/or aircraft systems Significant experience with electronics/avionics packaging Experience performing fundamental structural, heat transfer, and thermal hand calcs and basic analyses Experience with metallic structures design, analysis, and manufacturing Experience with technical aerospace work, including working with vendors Experience with risk management and critical path workflow Experience working in small engineering teams where each member often has multiple responsibilities Excellent written & verbal communication Ability to acquire and maintain a security clearance Ability to work on your own initiative and prioritize tasking to fit within the business goals Ability to quickly adapt to changing priorities Preferred Qualifications Experience supporting environmental test (Vibration, thermal, and shock) and resolving discrepancies. Experience with hands-on fabrication in an aerospace environment Experience transitioning prototype programs into Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Experience with Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFMA) improvement effort Experience with hypersonic and/or supersonic vehicle development Experience with air-launched vehicle development Experience with composite structures design, analysis, and manufacturing Active S, TS, and/or SCI security clearance Required Computer Skills 3D CAD experience (Siemens NX and Teamcenter preferred, Solidworks) 3D Simulation experience (NX Design Simulation or Solidworks Simulation) MS Office (Word, Excel, PPT, Outlook) Configuration management systems such as JIRA, GIT, JAMA, etc. Preferred Computer Skills Experience with FEMAP, Nastran Education & Experience Level II: Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) from accredited institution and 2-5 years of relevant experience, OR equivalent combination of education and experience Sr-level: Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) from accredited institution and 5-10 years of relevant experience, OR equivalent combination of education and experience Staff-level: Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) from accredited institution and 10-20 years of relevant experience, OR equivalent combination of education and experience" We need to split into Qualifications and Skills sections. Could put qualifications (education, experience, required/preferred qualifications) under Qualifications heading, and skills (computer skills, maybe also soft skills) under Skills heading. But we have many items. Better: Qualifications heading includes Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Education & Experience. Skills heading includes Required Computer Skills, Preferred Computer Skills, plus maybe soft skills like communication etc. However communication is in Required Qualifications. Might be okay to keep under Qualifications. Let's decide: - Qualifications: include Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Education & Experience. - Skills: include Required Computer Skills, Preferred Computer Skills. We also have "Ability to acquire and maintain a security clearance" etc which could be under Qualifications. Now Benefits: list as
    • . Schedule: include shift work and weekend work, travel as needed. Now About the role: include the initial paragraph(s). Also maybe include location description? We'll incorporate location in About. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Stratolaunch is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove that. Also remove "Special remarks regarding work environment, if applicable" but we already used location and shift. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
