We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting. Job Title: Design & Program Engineering Manager Job Description: The Design & Program Engineering Manager will lead a multidisciplinary team, including Tool Design Engineers, Applications Engineers, and Program Managers. This role is responsible for aligning engineering and program execution with strategic business goals, ensuring technical excellence, customer satisfaction, and cross-functional collaboration.

Application Deadline: Sep 25, 2026 (but we should remove application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Deadline maybe considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction to apply, but it's a deadline. Might be considered metadata; we could drop it as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include location, job type maybe in a short paragraph. But we have sections for Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Schedule not given. So we should not create Schedule section. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements? Could combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications? The spec says we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. We need to decide which to include based on content. We have "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Could map Essential Skills to Skills section, Additional Skills & Qualifications to Qualifications section. Requirements maybe not distinct; we could omit Requirements if no specific content. We also have Work Environment, Job Type & Location, Workplace Type. Could fold into About the role or a short paragraph. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Work Environment etc into About the role paragraph. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Essential Skills, Additional Skills & Qualifications, Benefits, Pay range, location, job type, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation, AI, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (there may be duplicates in responsibilities? Let's check.

About Actalent: (company description) - Could be considered boilerplate? It's about the company, not the role. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Actalent is not exactly those, but it's company overview. Might be considered not substantive to the role? It's generic. Probably we should drop it as it's not specific to the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The About Actalent is not about the role; it's company info. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to drop it as it's not directly about the role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. It doesn't explicitly say to remove company overview. However, we want to focus on role specifics. The About Actalent could be considered not required. I'd drop it to keep focused.
Now we need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: could combine the initial Job Description paragraph plus Work Environment, Job Type & Location, Workplace Type maybe.
But we also have separate sections for Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Schedule: not present, so omit.
We need to avoid thin sections. So we could have:
About the role
... (combined description)
Responsibilities
...
Skills
...
(Essential Skills)
Qualifications
...
(Additional Skills & Qualifications)
Benefits
...
Pay
Pay range: $95,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year. Compensation depends on qualifications, skills, experience, location, etc.
We could also include location and job type inside About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Schedule section.
Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Essential Skills, Additional Skills & Qualifications, Benefits, Pay details, location, job type, work environment, team size, values, etc.
Let's craft About the role paragraph:
"The Design & Program Engineering Manager will lead a multidisciplinary team, including Tool Design Engineers, Applications Engineers, and Program Managers. This role is responsible for aligning engineering and program execution with strategic business goals, ensuring technical excellence, customer satisfaction, and cross-functional collaboration. The manager will oversee project execution, tooling development, and customer engagement. The manager will oversee a team of 5-7 direct reports while working closely with leadership in a results-driven environment emphasizing execution and involvement. The company values are encapsulated in the acronym FEAT - Fun, Excellence, Accountability, and Transparency. This is a permanent, fully onsite position based out of Philipsburg, PA."
That covers Job Description, Work Environment, Job Type & Location, Workplace Type.
Now Responsibilities list as above.
Skills list as Essential Skills.
Qualifications list as Additional Skills & Qualifications.
Benefits list as given.
Pay: include pay range and note about compensation factors.
We should not include the sentence about individual compensation depending on many factors? That is substantive; we can include in Pay paragraph.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation, AI, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (none). Also remove application deadline.
Now output HTML fragment.
We need to use for each section heading.
Make sure to close tags properly.
