We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About Sandia: description of lab, benefits etc. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company overview. Could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading and include description of Sandia and the role? Probably we should put company overview under "About the role". The role description: "What Your Job Will Be Like" etc. That is responsibilities. Thus:

About the role

-> include Sandia overview and maybe mention flexible work arrangements etc. But we must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for job title. We need to include Salary Range info under Pay section (since we have salary). Also Benefits section: we have flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical benefits, 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities. Also mention "These benefits vary by job classification." So we can include Benefits. Schedule: maybe mention flexible work arrangements like 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time, telecommuting. That could be Schedule. Requirements: Qualifications We Require (Bachelor's + 5 years experience, DOE Q-clearance). Also maybe "Current and active DOE Q-clearance". That's a requirement. Qualifications We Desire: could be under Qualifications or Skills? The instruction separate Qualifications and Skills. We could put desired qualifications under Qualifications (maybe as "Preferred qualifications") or Skills. But we have many desired qualifications list; could be placed under Skills. Better: Use Requirements for mandatory qualifications, Qualifications for desired qualifications? But they said "Qualifications We Require" and "Qualifications We Desire". So we can have a Requirements section for mandatory, and Qualifications section for desired. Skills: maybe we can extract specific skills from desired list (like experience with MATLAB, Python, etc.) but many are overlapping. Could put them under Skills. Responsibilities: from "What Your Job Will Be Like" bullet list. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Let's extract: About Sandia paragraph: "Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs: Challenging work with amazing impact that contributes to security, peace, and freedom worldwideExtraordinary co-workersSome of the best tools, equipment, and research facilities in the worldCareer advancement and enrichment opportunitiesFlexible 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* World-changing technologies. Life-changing careers. Learn more about Sandia at: http://www.sandia.gov These benefits vary by job classification." We need to keep that but maybe split into About the role (company overview) and Benefits (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities). Also Schedule (flexible work arrangements). However flexible work arrangements appear both in Benefits and Schedule. We can put them under Schedule. Let's decide: - About the role: Sandia overview (mission, reasons we love jobs, maybe mention learning opportunities etc). Could include "Challenging work with amazing impact..." etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "On any given day, you may be called on to:" plus earlier sentences about work with team, etc. Let's capture responsibilities: From "We are seeking a R&D S&E, Mechanical Engineering to support our data acquisition and instrumentation efforts in the Measurement Science & Engineering Department. You will work with an innovative team of technologists and engineers on a variety of measurement projects in support of destructive and complex mechanical testing in Tech Area III and other remote locations. Testing includes rocket sled track, cable pull-down, explosive blasts, guided gravity drops, and combined-environments centrifuge tests at Sandia's very rare test facilities. You should enjoy working in both the laboratory and field and have strong technical analysis skills and engineering practices. On any given day, you may be called on to:" Then bullet list: - Interact with customers and various testing organizations to define data collection requirements. - Design and implement data acquisition schemes for complex and often destructive test environments. - Ensure data integrity through careful test design, setup, and execution. - Perform post test data analysis and reporting in support of various qualification efforts. - Lead a skilled team of technologists in daily tasking and operational activities. - Work both independently and with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and business professionals to craft, implement and analyze design studies and experiments. - Hands on test setup and diagnosis in both indoor and outdoor test facilities. Also earlier: "To learn more about the work we do, please visit ..." but that's a link; we may keep as part of responsibilities? It's more info. Could include as a sentence. We'll keep that as part of responsibilities maybe. Now Requirements (mandatory): - 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. - Current and active DOE Q-clearance. Also maybe "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite." That's a requirement (onsite). Could be included. Now Qualifications (desired): List from "Qualifications We Desire": Graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g. independent project, thesis, or dissertation) Experience with mechanical engineering and product realization in the NNSA complex Strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Also, for this posting we are seeking individuals with the following experience: (then a long list). We'll treat all as desired qualifications. We could put them under Qualifications section as a list. Skills: maybe we can extract specific technical skills from that list: Experience with collection and/or analysis of signals from transducers, such as force, pressure, acceleration, strain, timing, and/or temperature sensors; Experience with signal processing, data analysis, or data manipulation, in software languages such as MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, and C++; Knowledge using Video Synthesis and Data Fusion; Knowledge of instrumentation and data acquisition; Experience with transducers (e.g. accelerometers, pressure gauges, load cells, etc.); Ability to discover, understand, and articulate customer data requirements; Experience planning and executing technical projects; Experience in troubleshooting and diagnosis of instrumentation equipment and signal anomalies; Ability to solve problems in a highly collaborative environment; Experience managing interfaces, requirements, and integrated testing; Experience designing assembly and subassembly level electrical hardware; Electrical hardware packaging experience; Working knowledge of optical and mechanical engineering; Experience with cable fabrication; Knowledge of the use, distribution, and potential variances and hazards of electrical current.; Ability to read and understand blueprints, drawings, layouts, and other related specifications.; Experience with test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and delay generators; Willingness to work in an outdoor field test environment in all types of weather; Willingness to work around explosives, propellants, lasers, and other controlled and mitigated natural and test induced hazards; Proficiency with basic electrical/electronics assembly skills, soldering, and troubleshooting both at the system and component level. That's a lot; could be placed under Skills. Benefits: From About Sandia: Flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting) maybe also under Schedule. But we have Benefits: Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. Also "These benefits vary by job classification." We'll include Benefits section with those items. Schedule: Flexible work arrangements: 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time work, telecommuting (mix of onsite work and working from home). Also mention "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite." That's more requirement than schedule. But schedule can mention flexible options. Pay: Salary Range $138,600 - $235,700. Also note that salary range is estimated, actual salary determined after consideration of experience, qualifications, and geographic differential. We'll include that. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no extra text. We'll structure:
