Director, Engineering
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
Intro paragraph about Standex International, Standex Electronics, EDGE team, Director of Engineering role.
Then "What You’ll Own" bullet list (actually sentences). Then "What You’ll Do" bullet list (sentences). Then "What We Value" bullet list (requirements/qualifications). Also mention "Equal Opportunity Employer" which we drop.
We need to map to sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do?), Requirements (What We Value?), Qualifications maybe overlapping. Skills maybe from bullet list. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none present, so we should not include those sections.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with actual content.
We need to decide mapping:
- About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing company and role.
- Responsibilities: "What You’ll Own" and "What You’ll Do" combined maybe as responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe "What We Value" includes experience, degree, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe also from "What We Value" but we can split: Requirements (years experience, degree) and Qualifications (specific knowledge, skills). But we can also combine.
But we must not create thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. Could do About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and skills). Could also have Skills section if distinct.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "What You’ll Own". Let's capture:
"Standex International is a global industrial growth company operating through our market-leading brands in electronics, cutting-edge forming technologies, engraving, and scientific refrigeration. We work with our customers to advance progress through innovation. From inventing and producing parts for next-generation space vehicles to evolving vaccine refrigeration, designing functional textures for everyday products, improving renewable energy technology, and much more, we are focused on making what’s next possible. Standex Electronics designs custom-engineered solutions across sensing, switching, and power magnetics for high-reliability applications. Organized around three strategic platforms – EDGE, DETECT, & GRID - we design and manufacture technologies that enable precision sensing and measurement, efficient power conversion, and advanced electronic performance. Our solutions support the global acceleration of electrification, expand energy infrastructure, and power next-generation technologies across critical markets. We drive growth through new product development, deeper engagement with customers’ engineering, geographic expansion, and targeted acquisitions. Our Standex EDGE team is looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our Endurance Design Team in the development and launch of Power Magnetics products. You will have responsibility and oversight of engineers and technical solutions as well as engineering processes and programs that interoperate across our multisite business unit. You will manage the coordination and overall integration of technical activities from concept to launch, working cross-functionally with various departments and stakeholders to drive a concurrent engineering methodology to address customer needs and business objectives."
That's the intro.
Now "What You’ll Own" bullet points (actually sentences). Let's list:
- Develop and Execute on the engineering department goals and objectives that align to the EDGE Policy Deployment process.
- Lead, coach, and manage a multidisciplinary product development team that includes Mechanical and Electrical Design Engineering, Product Engineering, and Document Control.
- Drive the EVT phase (Engineering Validation Test) of the NPI process to deliver prototype samples, in addition to supporting the Project Management team’s activities in the DVT/PVT phase to production launch.
- Responsible for the functional department Tools, Systems, and Processes that enable the workflows and support to meet employee, project, and compliance needs.
Now "What You’ll Do" bullet points:
- Provide technical leadership across power magnetics programs, guiding requirements, design decisions, risk assessment, and overall engineering execution.
- Partner with customers, commercial teams, and technical stakeholders to assess feasibility, shape proposals, and translate needs into practical solutions.
- Lead the development of new products and sustainment of existing designs, ensuring solutions meet customer, quality, cost, and manufacturability requirements.
- Contribute to business and engineering strategic planning processes, including influencing technology roadmaps, innovation priorities, and new product development.
- Build and continuously improve engineering standards, processes, and best practices across the organization and multiple sites.
- Apply lean methods, RCCA, A3 problem solving, and Kaizen to improve engineering effectiveness and organizational performance.
- Define and use meaningful KPIs to make performance visible, identify gaps, and drive improvement.
- Set clear goals and expectations, provide timely feedback, and lead performance management and development planning.
- Navigate conflicts and tradeoffs with a focus on the best outcome for the customer, business, and team.
- Plan and manage engineering staffing, resources, schedules, and priorities to support current programs and future growth.
- Drive disciplined program execution and structured problem solving for complex technical and cross-functional challenges.
- Stay connected to relevant technologies, suppliers, customers, and industry developments through external engagement as needed.
- Foster the Standex behaviors and values: Integrity, Accountability, Teamwork, Innovation, & Empathy
Now "What We Value" bullet points (requirements/qualifications):
- At least five (5) years of senior engineering management experience in a design and manufacturing environment.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Physics); Advanced degree a plus.
- Ability to work in an ITAR/CUI environment (i.e. a U.S. Person, or ability to obtain an export license for ITAR/CUI).
- Knowledge of related electronics component design architectures, such as transformer/inductor, power electronics, and power magnetics is a plus.
- Demonstrated success recruiting, developing, and leading high-performing engineering teams.
- Strong business acumen with the ability to connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes.
- Change agent that can scale processes to maximize impact.
- Experience leading projects of varying size, scope, and complexity.
- Knowledge of ISO systems, such as AS9100.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
- Experience applying lean methodologies
We also have "Equal Opportunity Employer..." which we drop.
Now we need to map to sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: combine What You’ll Own and What You’ll Do (maybe as responsibilities). Could be a single Responsibilities section with combined list.
- Requirements: maybe the hard requirements: years experience, degree, ITAR/CUI ability.
- Qualifications: maybe the plus items: knowledge of architectures, ISO, etc.
- Skills: maybe soft skills: business acumen, communication, leadership, lean methods, etc.
But we must avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes all bullet points from What We Value. That seems substantive enough.
Alternatively, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications and skills). That would be three sections.
We must not create sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule because none present.
Thus output:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet from What You’ll Own and What You’ll Do
Requirements
- ... each bullet from What We Value
with line breaks? We'll keep as single paragraph but could split into multiple
if needed. The instruction: use
for prose. Could have multiple
paragraphs. We'll keep as one
for simplicity. Now list items. We need to ensure we don't miss any bullet. Let's list responsibilities bullets: From What You’ll Own: 1.
