Sandia National Laboratories · Albuquerque, NM · 1 mo ago

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About Sandia: description of lab, benefits, flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities, work/life balance. Also mention benefits vary by job classification. This could be Benefits section.
- "What Your Job Will Be Like": description of duties/responsibilities. That's Responsibilities.
- "Salary Range $117,500 - $235,700" plus note about estimated etc. That's Pay.
- "Qualifications We Require": Bachelor's degree + 5 years experience, or equivalent, Active DOE Q or DOD TS clearance. That's Requirements/Qualifications.
- "Qualifications We Desire": list of desired qualifications/experience. That could be Skills or Qualifications (maybe separate). We can combine into Qualifications or 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'll put required qualifications under Requirements, desired under Skills (or Qualifications). Let's decide: Requirements = mandatory qualifications. Skills = desired qualifications/skills.
- "About Our Team": description of team responsibilities. Could be About the role? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and team. We have "What Your Job Will Be Like" which is responsibilities. "About Sandia" is about company. Could be "About the role" maybe not needed. But we need to include sections only if real content. We have About Sandia (company overview) maybe not needed as heading but could be "About the role"? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't mandate we must use those exact headings, but we should use them when appropriate. We have content about the role (what job will be like) which fits Responsibilities. We have content about Sandia (company) maybe could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be omitted. But we might include "About the role" as a short paragraph summarizing role purpose? However we must not invent or summarize away detail. We could include a paragraph under "About the role" that is basically the first paragraph about Sandia? That would be repeating company info not role. Better to omit About the role if not specific. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should only include sections where we have real content. We have content for Responsibilities, Requirements (mandatory qualifications), Skills (desired qualifications), Benefits (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities), Pay (salary range). Possibly Schedule: they mention flexible work arrangements including 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time work, telecommuting. That's schedule info. So we could have a Schedule section detailing those. Benefits could include vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities. The flexible work arrangements could be under Schedule. Let's separate.
Thus sections:
- Responsibilities (from "What Your Job Will Be Like")
- Requirements (mandatory qualifications)
- Skills (desired qualifications/experience)
- Benefits (generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance)
- Pay (Salary Range $117,500 - $235,700)
- Schedule (flexible work arrangements: 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time work, telecommuting)
We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to convert lists to
- . For responsibilities, we have a paragraph starting with "On any given day, you may be called on to:" followed by a long list of duties separated by semicolons. We need to split into list items. Let's extract each duty:
1. Use systems engineering principles to implement multidisciplinary engineering approaches to research, design, or develop structures, instruments, machines, experiments, processes, systems, theories, or technologies; to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design or to forecast their behavior.
2. Initiate, design, develop, execute, and evaluate new processes, products, or systems through basic and applied systems engineering research.
3. Work closely with the Production Agency for product realization
4. Utilize creativity and critical thinking in Systems Engineering principles to proactively discern, identify, troubleshoot and mitigate requirements, design, and manufacturing challenges to ensure successful product realization in partnership with a variety of subsystem teams and sponsor needs.
5. Determine conditions under which tests are to be conducted then prepare test, maintenance, operations, calibration and administrative procedures to support operations at hazardous facilities.
6. Design, develop, execute and fabricate experiment hardware or test components, systems, and equipment to meet all performance criteria.
7. Support preparation of all work planning and control documentation, to include failure mode analyses and safety cases, for work being conducted at hazardous facilities.
8. Own, monitor, and ensure technical excellence of our contracts and contracted partners on the MGT tester subsystem.
9. Support the analysis and interpretation of test data and recommend alternative solutions to problems and obstacles.
10. Develop technical documentation for systems such as drawings, work instructions, reports, test plans, manuals, etc.
11. Work on a specific task basis to support technical activities.
We could keep as list items.
Requirements: 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. Active DOE Q or DOD TS clearance.
We'll list as two items maybe.
Skills (desired): list many items. Let's extract:
- 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 with Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) laboratories and plants including Pantex, Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) and Kansas City National Security Campus/New Mexico Operations (KCNSC/NMO).
- Experience working on engineering design, qualification, production, or related modeling/simulation projects.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to work in a collaborative environment to meet mission needs
- Tester equipment, testbeds, and SNL test facilities

- Recent experience (.
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 mention "These benefits vary by job classification." We'll include that note.
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)". We'll list as items.
Pay: Salary Range $117,500 - $235,700 plus note: "Salary range is estimated, and actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate's experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential." We'll include as paragraph.
