for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have job summary (maybe About the role). We have Key Responsibilities. We have Skills And Experience (maybe Skills). Also Education and Certifications (maybe Qualifications). Benefits listed. Pay listed (USD $195,000 - $205,000 /Yr). No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. Also we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove company summary? It's not required but maybe we can keep as part of About the role? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep company summary? It's substantive but not part of typical sections. Could be included in About the role paragraph. The job summary already includes description. The company summary is extra; we could include it in About the role as additional paragraph. However we must not create sections with filler. We'll include About the role section containing the job summary plus company summary maybe.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list: we have bullet points under Key Responsibilities (starting with "Provide expert cybersecurity engineering..." etc). Those are sentences separated by line breaks? We'll convert each to
- . Similarly Skills And Experience list: bullet points (Active Top Secret/SCI..., 15+ years..., etc). We'll convert each to
- . Education and Certifications: bullet points (Required Masters’ degree..., Equivalent work experience..., DoD 8170 IASAE Level III...). We'll convert to

- . Pay: we have a sentence: "USD $195,000.00 - USD $205,000.00 /Yr." We'll put in
under Pay section.
We must not include Schedule section.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. So no heading with the job title.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

We should not include Schedule. Also we should not include Security Clearance as separate heading; it's included in Skills and Experience. Also we should not include Physical Requirements (boilerplate? It's substantive but not requested as a section; we could include it under About the role? But we already have About the role covering job summary; we could add a paragraph for Physical Requirements. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep Physical Requirements info. It's substantive. Where to place? Could add another paragraph under About the role after company summary. Or create a separate section like "Physical Requirements" but we only have allowed headings list; Physical Requirements is not in the list, but we could still include as a paragraph under About the role. Better to add a paragraph after company summary.
Also we need to include Security Clearance statement: "Must be a U.S. Citizen. A high-level Department of Defense active security clearance is/may be required. Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to government information." This is also substantive. It's similar to Skills and Experience but we already have Active Top Secret/SCI clearance in Skills. Could add a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Skills and Experience. Since we already have that bullet, we could add extra paragraph after Skills and Experience about citizenship and clearance process. But we must not duplicate. The bullet already says Active Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) security clearance. The additional text about US Citizen etc is extra. We'll add a paragraph under Skills and Experience after the list.
Also we need to include Company Employment Statement? That's boilerplate EEO etc; we should remove per instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop the Company Employment Statement and the equal opportunity employer lines (though we already used equal opportunity employer in company summary; that might be considered boilerplate but it's part of company summary. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company summary includes "Galapagos Federal Systems, LLC is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the later equal opportunity employer statement should be removed. So we need to edit company summary to remove that sentence. Also the service commitment line is okay.
Thus adjust company summary paragraph: remove "Galapagos Federal Systems, LLC is an equal opportunity employer." and maybe keep rest.
Also we need to remove the duplicated lines: there is "Galapagos Federal Systems, LLC is an equal opportunity employer." appears twice; we will remove both.
Now incorporate Physical Requirements paragraph after company summary.
