We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No Pay or Schedule if not present. The posting includes Benefits section. It includes description of role, duties, qualifications, skills, etc. We need to parse. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills and abilities), Benefits (benefits). Possibly also Physical Demands? Not a standard heading; could be omitted or maybe included under Requirements? But we should only use allowed headings. Physical Demands could be omitted or maybe included under Requirements? But better to omit if not matching allowed headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop physical demands if it's substantive. But we can incorporate it into a section like Requirements or maybe a separate section not in list? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings when appropriate. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we could create a section for Physical Demands if we want, but heading must be one of the listed? It says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings; but we could also use other headings if needed? The instruction seems to restrict to those headings. Safer to map physical demands into Requirements or maybe a separate "Requirements" includes qualifications and physical demands. But we have separate Requirements and Qualifications headings. We could put physical demands under Requirements as a list item. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. About the role: first paragraph(s) describing role: "The Director Engineering- Internal Combustion Engine New Technology Introduction, Analysis and Simulation will shape the future of engine technology by building a high-performing engineering organization, advancing engine technologies, and translating simulation and test insights into products that deliver measurable customer and business value. The Director of Engineering for Internal Combustion Engine Technology leads teams that develop and mature advanced engine technologies. The role sets technical strategy across engine hardware, controls, benchmarking, cost optimization, and advanced analysis and simulation. This leader guides technologies through progressive technology readiness levels (TRL) by integrating competitive benchmarking, design, prototyping, physical testing, and model-based development. The position also establishes analysis and simulation capabilities and processes that support technology introduction and new product development. Success requires deep technical expertise in internal combustion engines, a record of building and leading high-performing engineering teams, and the ability to translate complex engineering work into clear business and product decisions. The organization combines physical testing with 1-D and 3-D simulation, CFD, FEA, in-cylinder combustion modeling, MATLAB/Simulink, Python-based analytics, machine learning, and co-simulation to improve engine performance, emissions, thermal and structural reliability, cost, and development speed to market. Working closely with business leaders and partners in service, operations, supply chain, and finance, this leader aligns technology investments with customer needs and commercial priorities. The Director also develops and implements disciplined engineering methods that deliver superior products while fostering innovation, creativity, technical excellence, and accountability across the organization." That's a good About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Duties list. We'll extract each bullet as
