We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a job summary paragraph. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have job summary: description of company and role. Could be "About the role". Then duties and responsibilities list. Then qualifications: includes education/experience, technical knowledge, etc. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Also "Skills" maybe separate. The posting includes many skill items. Could combine into "Qualifications" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine qualifications and skills into one "Requirements" section. However we have separate headings allowed: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to include based on content. We have DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES list: bullet points. So we can have

Responsibilities

with
    . We have Job Qualifications paragraph with education/experience requirements and then list of technical knowledge etc. That could be split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (technical). But we can also put all under "Qualifications". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes education/experience and skills). Pay section: we have salary range. So we should include Pay section. Benefits: not mentioned. Schedule: not mentioned (only Full-Time). Could we include Schedule? It says Full-Time but no schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Job Type: Full-Time Salary Salary range: ... So we have Pay (salary range). Schedule: not given beyond Full-Time; but "Full-Time" is a job type, not schedule details like hours. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule info. Benefits: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay. We need to use

    for each heading. Use

    for prose. Use

    • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. The posting includes "We recognize and appreciate the value..." that's EEO boilerplate; we should remove that line. Also "Job Type: Full-Time Salary Salary range: ..." we keep salary. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph: "General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies. General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems. GA-EMS' expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions support critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide. We currently have an exciting position for a Computational Materials Engineer to support our Nuclear Technologies and Materials (NTM) division in San Diego, CA. Under general supervision, this position is responsible for modeling and simulation of ceramic matrix composite materials subject to extreme environments like nuclear reactor cores, space, and hypersonic flight environments." That's prose for About the role. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES list: - Provides practical support solutions to technical engineering problems to optimize materials performance through analysis and simulation. - Documents findings and communicates reports and technical presentations at engineering meetings, and participates in program reviews. - Supports future NTM engineering needs and the modifications required to provide next generation materials for aerospace and nuclear environments. - Assumes technical and engineering responsibility for segments or key portions of contracts. - Provides technical communication within the company to management and to external customers. - Maintains strict confidentiality of sensitive information. - Works in a safe manner in accordance with established operating procedures and practices. Job Qualifications paragraph: "Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; six or more years of experience with a bachelors degree, four or more years of experience with a masters degree, or two or more years with a PhD. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education." Then list of knowledge/skills: - Strong multi-scale understanding of ceramic or composite materials behavior in extreme environments, including: - Thermo-mechanical response at the component and system level - Damage accumulation/failure models - Dimensional changes (e.g., swelling, creep) - Material microstructural evolution (e.g., grain size evolution, irradiation defects) - Thermochemistry and corrosion concerns - Knowledge of thermo-mechanical materials modeling approaches and applying those approaches in finite element analysis tools such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, MOOSE, or similar. - Solid foundation in the fundamental physics of nuclear reactor design, including neutron transport and diffusion, reactor kinetics and dynamics, and heat generation and removal in reactor cores. - Demonstrated experience with one or more nuclear design and analysis tools is desirable, such as: - Fuel performance codes for modeling fuel behavior under irradiation (e.g., BISON, FRAPCON, or similar) - Reactor physics codes (e.g., MCNP, Serpent, SCALE, CASMO/SIMULATE, or similar) - Thermal-hydraulics and safety analysis tools (e.g., RELAP5, TRACE, CTF, or similar) - Proficiency in at least one scientific programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, C++, MATLAB) for pre/post-processing, automation, and data analysis. - Experience with the use of machine learning algorithms for modeling, data analysis, or surrogate model development is desirable. - Ability to interpret simulation results, validate models against experimental or benchmark data, and document findings clearly. - Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams (reactor physics, materials design and development, thermal-hydraulics, and safety). - Ability to understand new concepts quickly, apply them accurately in an evolving environment, and organize work assignments to meet established schedules. - Excellent communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills. - The ability to obtain and maintain a DoD and/or DOE security clearance is required. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll put education/experience as a

      maybe then a

        for the skill list. Could combine into one
          but we need to keep the hierarchical bullet points (some sub-bullets). We can represent sub-bullets as nested
            . That's fine. Pay: "Salary range: 98,100 - 171,398". Also maybe mention Job Type: Full-Time but we are not making Schedule section. Could include Full-Time in About the role? Might be okay to mention in a

            under Pay? But Pay section should contain salary range. Could also include Job Type there. However instruction: only create Pay section if posting actually states them. It states salary range. So we can put salary range in Pay. The Job Type Full-Time could be mentioned in About the role or maybe in a separate

            but not as a heading. Since we are not making Schedule section, we can include Full-Time in About the role paragraph or maybe in a

            after About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include Full-Time in About the role paragraph as a sentence. However the About the role paragraph currently doesn't mention Full-Time. We could add a sentence: "This is a full-time position." But that would be adding info not originally in that paragraph but it's present elsewhere. It's permissible to include it somewhere; we just must not invent. We can add a

            after About the role that says "This is a full-time position." That's preserving info. Or we could incorporate into About the role: "We currently have an exciting position for a Computational Materials Engineer ... Under general supervision..." Not mention full-time. Better to add a separate short

            after About the role: "

            This is a full-time position.

            " That preserves the info. Now construct HTML. We'll output:
