We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes purpose, role description, responsibilities etc. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Purpose: description of role: "Purpose The CNC Machining Specialist is a technical expert ...". That's about the role. Then "The Role" with subheadings: CNC Machining Expertise, Process Optimization and Innovation, Quality and Documentation, Safety and Compliance. Those are responsibilities. Then "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Those are qualifications/requirements. Then "Compensation" with pay ranges. Then "What We Offer:" benefits. No schedule info. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: - About the role (purpose) -> prose. - Responsibilities: we have bullet-like paragraphs under "The Role". Could be turned into

    • items. - Requirements/Qualifications: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements section with lists. - Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed within qualifications. - Benefits: "What We Offer:" includes bullet points. - Pay: compensation section with pay ranges. - Schedule: none, so omit. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat content unnecessarily. Let's extract substantive content. Purpose paragraph: "Divergent is building the new industrial age. Every day, our teams design, manufacture, and assemble advanced systems for some of the world’s most demanding industries. Our integrated engineering and manufacturing platform transforms complex designs into production-ready solutions, helping customers move faster, build smarter, and deliver critical systems when they matter most. Divergent is a qualified Tier 1 supplier to global automotive OEMs and supports leading U.S. aerospace and defense companies. Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built. Purpose The CNC Machining Specialist is a technical expert responsible for defining machining approaches and executing complex CNC operations to produce precision components for advanced automotive, aerospace, and high-performance manufacturing applications. This role operates with broad autonomy, integrating with design and manufacturing engineering teams to develop robust machining strategies that ensure quality, repeatability, and scalability. The CNC Machining Specialist leads advanced machine setup and operation, independently troubleshoots complex machining challenges, and drives improvements in tooling, work holding, and machining processes. This role also helps define best practices, refine procedures, and mentor other machinists and technicians while supporting continuous improvement and the scaling of high-precision manufacturing operations." We can combine the intro and purpose into About the role. Now Responsibilities: Under "The Role" we have four bold headings with paragraphs. Let's extract each: CNC Machining Expertise: - Lead the setup, operation, and optimization of advanced CNC equipment including multi-axis mills (3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis) to produce high-precision components in prototype and production environments. - Apply deep knowledge of engineering drawings and GD&T to validate machining strategies and ensure parts meet strict dimensional and quality requirements. - Diagnose and resolve complex machining challenges such as tool wear, workholding stability, machine performance, and program issues while establishing repeatable solutions and best practices. Process Optimization and Innovation: - Partner with design and manufacturing engineering teams to influence part design for manufacturability and improve machining efficiency. - Define and refine machining strategies—including programming approach, tooling selection, and fixturing concepts—to improve cycle time, quality, and process reliability. - Drive continuous improvement initiatives and support the introduction of new technologies and manufacturing methods, including hybrid and additive-enabled workflows where applicable. Quality and Documentation: - Ensure machined components consistently meet internal and industry quality standards through rigorous process control and verification practices. - Develop and maintain machining standards, setup documentation, and process guidance to ensure repeatability and scalability across operators and shifts. - Mentor machinists and technicians by sharing technical expertise and promoting strong machining practices across the team. Safety and Compliance: - Uphold and champion Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) standards within machining operations. - Identify process risks and implement improvements to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient machining operations. We can put each bullet as
    • . Now Basic Qualifications list: - Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls - Extensive experience operating and optimizing multi-axis CNC machines, including 3-axis, 3+2, and full 5-axis machining centers. - Strong proficiency with Siemens and Heidenhain controllers. - Advanced understanding of GD&T and its practical application in precision machining and inspection. - Demonstrated ability to diagnose, troubleshoot, and optimize complex machining processes including tooling, fixturing, and program strategy. - Proven experience machining complex 5-axis components across multiple alloys (e.g., aluminum, steels, titanium, nickel-based alloys). - Experience creating and implementing dynamic work offsets and advanced setup strategies for complex parts and fixtures. - Hands-on experience setting up and running complex 5-axis CNC operations in prototype and/or production environments. - Experience mentoring machinists and operators, supporting skill development and promoting strong machining practices. - Ability to develop work instructions, setup documentation, and standardized machining procedures to ensure repeatability and process reliability. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience machining additively manufactured components and working with hybrid additive-subtractive workflows. - Familiarity with large-format CNC systems or gantry-style machining platforms. - Strong background in manual machining and turning operations to support tooling, fixtures, and future work. We could combine Basic and Preferred into Requirements section, maybe separate subheadings? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put Requirements for basic, Qualifications for preferred, or combine. Since we have both basic and preferred, we could use Requirements for basic, Qualifications for preferred. Or we could put all under Requirements and omit Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have both basic and preferred; we could make two sections: Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). That seems appropriate. Now Benefits: "What We Offer:" list: - Holistic Compensation Package: Enjoy a world-class compensation package that includes a competitive salary, equity plan, and discretionary results-based incentive bonus opportunities, ensuring you're truly valued for your contributions. - Wellness and Time Off: Embrace a healthy lifestyle with paid vacation, sick time, and company holidays, including a year-end shutdown to recharge. We support growing families with paid parental leave, recognizing the importance of bonding time. - Comprehensive Health and Wellness: Prioritize your well-being with our comprehensive health and wellness benefits, offering both HMO and Premium PPO options. Additionally, benefit from company-sponsored life insurance and short and long-term disability coverage for peace of mind. - Investment in Growth: We're committed to your professional development. Take advantage of reimbursement opportunities for learning and development initiatives, empowering you to continuously expand your skill set and reach peak performance. - Collaborative and High-Performing Environment: Join our collaborative, dynamic, and high-performing team within a fast-paced, mission-driven company. Together, we're disrupting the traditional manufacturing industry, fostering innovation, and integrating people and technology to reduce our footprint. We can turn each bullet into
    • under Benefits. Pay: Compensation section includes: "At Divergent, our pay range is based on the level of the job. For this role, we will consider candidates at levels S03 - S05 as evaluated through our interview process. Specialist III - S03: $41.69 - $57.32 Specialist IV - S04: $48.16 - $66.22 Specialist V - S05: $55.61 - $76.47 Veterans and candidates with military technical backgrounds in aviation, aerospace, maintenance, robotics, electronics, machining, or industrial operations are encouraged to apply. Pay Range: $41.69 USD - $76.47 USD" We need to preserve all substantive info. We can put as

      with that text. Might also list as bullet but not required. Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, E-Verify, etc. So we omit those paragraphs. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

      About the role

      ... (purpose paragraph)

      Responsibilities

      • ... (CNC Machining Expertise bullets)
      • ...
      But we have multiple subcategories; we could either list all responsibilities as flat list, or we could keep subheadings inside
        ? The instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid headings inside list? Probably better to keep flat list of duties. However we could also keep subheadings as

          but not allowed; only h3 for section headings. So we should flatten. Thus we will create a single
            with all responsibility bullets. Similarly for Requirements (basic qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). We'll make separate sections. Benefits:
              with each benefit. Pay:

              with compensation text. Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the introductory sentences and purpose. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep the full paragraph as given. Let's copy: "Divergent is building the new industrial age. Every day, our teams design, manufacture, and assemble advanced systems for some of the world’s most demanding industries. Our integrated engineering and manufacturing platform transforms complex designs into production-ready solutions, helping customers move faster, build smarter, and deliver critical systems when they matter most.

That seems fine. Now Responsibilities bullets: we need to extract each bullet as separate

            • . Let's list them: - Lead the setup, operation, and optimization of advanced CNC equipment including multi-axis mills (3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis) to produce high-precision components in prototype and production environments. - Apply deep knowledge of engineering drawings and GD&T to validate machining strategies and ensure parts meet strict dimensional and quality requirements. - Diagnose and resolve complex machining challenges such as tool wear, workholding stability, machine performance, and program issues while establishing repeatable solutions and best practices. - Partner with design and manufacturing engineering teams to influence part design for manufacturability and improve machining efficiency. - Define and refine machining strategies—including programming approach, tooling selection, and fixturing concepts—to improve cycle time, quality, and process reliability. - Drive continuous improvement initiatives and support the introduction of new technologies and manufacturing methods, including hybrid and additive-enabled workflows where applicable. - Ensure machined components consistently meet internal and industry quality standards through rigorous process control and verification practices. - Develop and maintain
