We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content: About Sandia (company description) maybe not needed but could be part of "About the role"? However "About the role" is more about the job. The posting includes "What Your Job Will Be Like", "Envisioning your future as a Sandian", "Join Our Dedicated Team", "As a Lead Engineer, You Will", etc. So we can have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications we require), Qualifications (desired), Skills (maybe combine), Benefits (they mention benefits: flexible work arrangements, generous vacation, strong medical, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities). Also Pay (salary range). Schedule (maybe flexible work arrangements? Actually schedule is about compressed workweeks etc). But we need to include Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does mention flexible work arrangements: 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time, telecommuting. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". The salary range is given, so we can include Pay.
We must not include EEO boilerplate. Remove that.
We must not include "Posting Duration", "Security Clearance" maybe? That's part of qualifications? It's a requirement: DOE Q clearance. Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include under Requirements.
We must not include "Job ID", "Job Family", etc. Could fold into short p or drop. Probably drop.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to keep details about responsibilities, qualifications, desired qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule, security clearance, etc.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like "Collaborate with W87-1 systems partners and internal stakeholders to ensure program success." etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc as headings; can fold into short
or drop. We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "About Sandia" maybe? That's not a required heading but we could include as "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company overview; maybe we can include as a paragraph under a heading like "About the role"? But the instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections to include based on content.

We'll structure:
About the role
... summary maybe from "What Your Job Will Be Like" and "Envisioning your future as a Sandian" and "Join Our Dedicated Team". We'll combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ... each duty from "As a Lead Engineer, You Will".
Requirements
- ... from "Qualifications We Require": bachelor's degree + 5 years experience, or equivalent combination; active DOE Q clearance or equivalent and ability to obtain a Sigma 15.
Qualifications
- ... from "Qualifications We Desire": graduate degree in EE or related field with independent research project; ability to work independently and collaborate; outstanding verbal/written skills; system-level testing experience; experience on nuclear weapon programs; lab environment overseeing ALW; proficiency with ATE; board-level/component-level circuit design; developing test plans and conducting test/design reviews; providing technical direction to electronics technicians; troubleshooting complex anomalies.
About the role
...
Paragraph: Combine: "Envisioning your future as a Sandian: Few careers offer the chance to make a difference on a national scale. Joining the W87-1 program at Sandia National Laboratories means contributing directly to our nation's nuclear deterrence strategy and global security. As part of one of the largest and highest-priority programs at the laboratory, W87-1 team members play a critical role in the nation's strategy for nuclear deterrence and global peace. Our organization offers a collaborative workplace with excellent opportunities to learn, gain visibility, and advance your career, supported by an outstanding benefits package that promotes a healthy work-life balance." We can also mention "We are seeking a highly motivated Lead Engineer to join our team of test engineers and technologists contributing to multiple weapons programs." That's part of responsibilities maybe but okay. Now Responsibilities list each bullet: - Collaborate with W87-1 systems partners and internal stakeholders to ensure program success. - Oversee a team of test engineers conducting functional electrical testing in the lab and at remote sites. - Manage test schedules and budgets effectively. - Provide regular status updates to management and system leads on high-priority system testing activities. - Develop test plans, benchtop assembly procedures, and participate in planning and attending test readiness reviews. - Integrate lower-level designs and subsystems into complete systems, working across diverse engineering domains including hardware, software, mechanical, and aerospace. - Provide technical direction to electronics technicians for installation, calibration, troubleshooting, and operation of electrical, controls, data, and instrumentation hardware and systems. - Troubleshoot anomalies and failures during testing and development to identify root causes and implement mitigations. - Coordinate with the system-level test team to ensure automated test equipment meets testing requirements. - This role may require up to 10% domestic travel, depending on program needs. - Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite 100% of the time. Now Requirements list: - A bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline and five (5) years of directly relevant experience, 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. - An active DOE Q clearance or equivalent and ability to obtain a Sigma 15. Now Qualifications list (desired): - Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation). - Ability to work independently and collaborate well in a multidisciplinary team of designers and test engineers. - Outstanding verbal and written skills, including the ability to develop and present briefings that are clear and compelling. - System-level testing experience, including benchtop, ground integration, and environmental testing. - Experience working on nuclear weapon programs and projects. - Experience working in a laboratory environment and overseeing activity-level work (ALW), including familiarity with high voltage and other safety hazards. - Proficiency with automatic test equipment (ATE), both hardware and software. - Board-level and/or component-level circuit design experience. - Developing test plans and conducting test or design reviews. - Providing technical direction to electronics technicians in installation, calibration, and operation of test equipment. - Troubleshooting complex anomalies and failures during testing and development to identify root causes and implement mitigations. Now Benefits: - 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). - Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. - These benefits vary by job classification. Now Pay: - Salary Range: $117,500 - $235,700 (estimated; actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate's experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential). Now Schedule: Actually flexible work arrangements already covered in Benefits; but schedule could be separate. However we already included flexible work arrangements in Benefits. The instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state flexible work arrangements. We could put them under Schedule instead of Benefits. But we already have Benefits section with other benefits. Might be better to separate: Benefits: generous vacation, strong medical, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities. Schedule: flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting). That avoids duplication. Thus we need to adjust: Benefits section excludes flexible work arrangements; Schedule section includes them. Let's craft Benefits: - Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. - These benefits vary by job classification. Schedule: - 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). Now we need to ensure we didn't duplicate any content. Now produce final HTML. Check for any boilerplate left: We removed EEO, NNSA MedPEDs, Posting Duration, Security Clearance (we included DOE Q clearance in Requirements), Job ID, etc. We removed "About Sandia" paragraph? We didn't include it; but maybe we should include some company overview? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; "About Sandia" is substantive but not required heading; we could include as a paragraph under About the role or as a separate section like "About Sandia". However the allowed headings list does not include "About Sandia". But we could still include awithout heading? The instruction says use
