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. We need to parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: About Sandia paragraph, benefits description, etc. But we need to preserve substantive info. We need to extract: - About the role: maybe the paragraph "What Your Job Will Be Like" and description of role. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties (the "On any given day, you may be called on to:" list). Also maybe other responsibilities like "contribute to the requirements definition, testing, and qualification..." etc. - Requirements: maybe "Qualifications We Require" (the mandatory qualifications). Also "Security Clearance Position requires a Department of Energy (DOE) Q security clearance to start" etc. But those are more like requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Qualifications We Desire" (desired qualifications). Also "About Our Team" maybe not needed. - Skills: maybe list of skills from desired qualifications: strong understanding of systems engineering, proven experience in requirements elicitation, familiarity with requirements management tools, background in nuclear weapons lifecycle, experience working with NNSA, etc. Also communication skills, leadership abilities, self-motivated, adaptable, commitment to diversity. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance" and also "Flexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 ... compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting". Also "These benefits vary by job classification." So we have benefits content. - Pay: Salary Range $102,400 - $199,700. - Schedule: maybe mention of onsite full-time, travel up to 25%, flexible work arrangements? But schedule specifics: maybe "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant will be required to work onsite full-time in Albuquerque, NM and may require some travel (up to 25%)." Also flexible work arrangements mentioned earlier but that is more benefits. So schedule section could include onsite full-time and travel. We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We must output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. Let's extract content: About the role: Could be the paragraph "What Your Job Will Be Like We are seeking a highly motivated R&D Systems Engineer to join the W76-1 Joint Test Assembly (JTA) Weapon System Team. In this role, you will contribute to the requirements definition, testing, and qualification of the new instrumented JTA flight test body for the W76-1 weapon systems. As part of our dynamic team, you¿ll dive into a variety of engineering challenges¿from defining and tracing complex system requirements to planning and executing large-scale flight tests. Your work will involve close collaboration with internal Sandia teams as well as external partners at LANL, KCNSC, Pantex, NNSA, and Navy SP-28." That's substantive. Responsibilities: The bullet list after "On any given day, you may be called on to:" includes: - Analyze and translate complex functional and non-functional requirements into clear, actionable technical specifications. - Develop and maintain comprehensive requirement traceability matrices, ensuring every detail is tracked throughout the project lifecycle. - Lead collaborative requirement reviews with cross-functional teams to ensure requirements align with customer intent and mission needs. - Partner with design and production teams to define interfaces, integration plans, and ensure that designs are both manufacturable and testable. - Assist in crafting robust test plans and validation strategies that ensure smooth qualification and product delivery that meets surveillance mission needs. - Drive continuous improvement initiatives to refine how we gather and manage requirements, making our processes more efficient and effective. Also maybe earlier responsibilities: "contribute to the requirements definition, testing, and qualification..." but that's more about role. We'll keep bullet list as responsibilities. Requirements: Mandatory qualifications: "A bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development. Active DOE Q Clearance or equivalent is required to start" Also maybe "Security Clearance Position requires a Department of Energy (DOE) Q security clearance to start, or equivalent active security clearance with another U.S. government agency (e.g., DOD)." That's similar. We could combine. Qualifications (desired): list from "Qualifications We Desire": Graduate degree in Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation). Experience working on engineering design, qualification, or production projects within the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. High attention to detail to provide critical review for requirements tracing. Also, for this posting we are seeking individuals with the following experience: Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and methodologies. Proven experience in requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation. Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS). Background in nuclear weapons lifecycle and familiarity with processes within the NSE. Experience working with NNSA, Department of Defense customers and contractors, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), and Pantex. Effective leadership abilities, including delegation, teamwork, negotiation, conflict resolution, and coaching/mentoring skills. Self-motivated and adaptable, comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment. Commitment to fostering a culturally and technically diverse workplace. We could split into Skills and Qualifications sections. But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. We need to decide what goes where. Qualifications could be education/clearance etc. Skills could be technical/soft skills. Thus: - Qualifications (mandatory): Bachelor's degree or equivalent, Active DOE Q Clearance. - Skills (desired): Graduate degree, experience in NSE, communication skills, attention to detail, systems engineering, requirements elicitation, familiarity with DOORS, nuclear weapons lifecycle, experience with NNSA/DOD/LANL/KCNSC/Pantex, leadership abilities, self-motivated/adaptable, commitment to diversity. We could also include "Experience working on engineering design, qualification, or production projects within the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE)" as skill. Now Benefits: "Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance" plus "Flexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 (work 80 hours every two weeks, with every other Friday off) and 4/10 (work 4 ten-hour days each week) compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting (a mix of onsite work and working from home)". Also "These benefits vary by job classification." We'll include that. Pay: Salary Range $102,400 - $199,700. Schedule: "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant will be required to work onsite full-time in Albuquerque, NM and may require some travel (up to 25%)." Also maybe mention of flexible work arrangements? But that's more benefits. We'll put schedule as onsite full-time and travel up to 25%. Now we need to output HTML with headings

    and content. We must not include empty sections. Let's craft:
