Director ISS Vehicle Office.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. The posting includes "Duties" (list of duties), "Requirements Conditions of employment" (conditions), "Qualifications" (including ECQs, MTQ, education). Also maybe "Benefits" mentioned: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic but not specific benefits; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says generic but not specific list; we should not create Benefits because it's not specific. Also no Pay or Schedule. So we will have sections: Responsibilities (for duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (including ECQs, MTQ, education). Possibly also "Skills"? Not present. We'll keep only those with substantive content.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some generic statements like "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's not specific benefits; we might still include as prose under Requirements? Actually it's under "Additional information". It's generic; we could include as a paragraph under maybe "Additional information" but we shouldn't create a heading for it unless it's substantive. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include that as a paragraph under Qualifications? Not really. Might be better to omit because it's generic boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits statement is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic; but it's not specific benefits. I'd say we can omit it because it's not specific. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits in generic sense but not specific. Safer to omit Benefits section.
Thus we will output:
Responsibilities
- ...
... etc.
We need to preserve all duties exactly as given, but we can split into list items. The duties paragraph is a long sentence with multiple statements separated by periods. We should break each statement into - . Ensure we keep all content.
Let's extract duties:
"The Director ISS Vehicle Office Chairs the ISS Vehicle Control Board to manage vehicle development and resolve design, development, operations, and maintenance issues.
Manages establishment of end-to-end integrated vehicle systems requirements, verification methods, interface specifications, and operations modes.
Directs end-to-end hardware lifecycle activities including design, development, integration, testing, certification, flight readiness, and operations.
Manages sparing and logistics planning to ensure minimum on-orbit sparing and mitigate ISS failures and anomalies.
- Oversees integration of ISS vehicle systems designs across NASA, the prime contractor, and International Partners to ensure architecture and functionality requirements are met.
Manages and sustains the Russian FGB Module, including technical coordination and contract negotiation with Russian partners.
Leads requirements development and establishes flight integration and on-orbit use plans for Exploration-related technology demonstrations, including budget and workforce management.
Addresses technical and risk-related issues associated with ISS-attached commercial vehicles, including interface requirements and certification plans.
Manages multidisciplinary international teams designing ISS deorbit, including trajectory analysis and systems configuration requirements, certification, and implementation.
Directs preparation of long-range plans, schedules, and budget estimates for ISS integrated vehicle systems and commits the Vehicle Office to actions within program policy."
Note there is a leading "- " before "Oversees integration...". We'll treat as list item.
We'll produce
with each statement as - . Ensure we keep punctuation.
Now Requirements: "Conditions of employment The individual selected will be required to file an 'Executive Branch Personnel Financial Disclosure Report' (OGE-278e) within 30 days of appointment and annually from then on.
Initial Senior Executive Service (SES) Career appointee is subject to a one-year probationary period.
Successful completion of a background investigation commensurate with the risk and sensitivity level of the position.
Successful completion of pre-employment and random drug testing may be required.
Must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance as required by the position.
Must be a U.S. Citizen or National.
Must meet qualifications requirements by the closing date of this announcement.
Complete a Declaration for Federal Employment to determine your suitability for Federal employment, at the time requested by the agency."
We need to put as list items under Requirements heading.
Now Qualifications: The section includes a lot of text: basic requirement for entry into SES, need to articulate ECQs and MTQs in resume, limit 2-page, etc. Also ECQs descriptions, MTQ description, Education requirements, Special instructions for foreign education, etc. Also "Your application package must be in your own words." etc. Also "Please visit Education". Also "Additional information Veterans' preference is not applicable to the SES." etc. Also "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." (we may omit). Also "Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." (boilerplate). We'll need to preserve all substantive info, but we can omit generic boilerplate like "Contact the hiring agency..." and "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." as they are generic. However the instruction says remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, EEO etc. So we can drop those.
We need to keep the substantive qualifications content: the requirement to articulate ECQs and MTQs, resume length, evidence, etc. Also the ECQs list with descriptions, MTQ description, education requirement, special instructions for foreign education, etc. Also "Your application package must be in your own words. Experience statements copied from a position description, vacancy announcement, or other reference material constitutes plagiarism and may result in disqualification and losing consideration for the job." That's substantive. Also "Please visit Education" maybe a link; we can keep as plain text "Please visit Education". But it's vague; maybe we keep as is.
We also have "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOREIGN EDUCATION:" etc.
We also have "Additional information Veterans' preference is not applicable to the SES. Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution." That's somewhat substantive but could be considered boilerplate? It's about candidate expectations. Might keep as part of Qualifications or a separate section? There's no heading for it. Could be included as a paragraph under Qualifications.
We need to decide sections: We'll have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Under Qualifications we can have multiple paragraphs and maybe subheadings? The instruction only says use
for section headings; we can have multiple sections. Inside Qualifications we could have subheadings like ECQs, MTQ, Education, but those are not specified as headings we must use; we could just keep as paragraphs. However we could also add for ECQs, MTQ, Education if we want, but the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we stick to those headings only. So we will not add extra headings inside Qualifications; just keep as paragraphs and lists.
But we need to represent the ECQs list; we can use - for each ECQ with its description. That's allowed as a list.
Similarly MTQ can be a
or
- . Education requirement can be a
.
We must preserve all substantive info; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the ECQ descriptions exactly as given. Let's extract them:
ECQ 1 - Commitment to the Rule of Law and the Principles of the American Founding: This core qualification requires a demonstrated knowledge of the American system of government, commitment to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, and commitment to serve the American people.

These education credentials must be deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university. For further information, click"
Also "Please visit Education" maybe a link.
Also "Your application package must be in your own words. Experience statements copied from a position description, vacancy announcement, or other reference material constitutes plagiarism and may result in disqualification and losing consideration for the job."
Also "Please visit Education" maybe duplicate.
We also have "If you are (1) currently serving under a career SES appointment, (2) eligible for reinstatement into the SES (this means you were previously employed as a Career SES employee and you successfully completed a one-year probationary period), OR (3) have successfully completed a SES Candidate Development Program (CDP) and certified by OPM, you do not need to address the ECQs in your resume. However, your resume must clearly state that you are a current career SES, eligible for SES reinstatement, or SES CDP certified and year of certification. Please DO NOT submit separate documents addressing the ECQs or MTQ(s). Only your 2-page resume will be accepted and considered. Any additional documents submitted will not be accepted."
Also "As a basic requirement for entry into the Senior Executive Service (SES) under a career appointment, you must clearly articulate and describe within your 2-page resume that
. Must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some generic statements like "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package."
