EngineeringFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF the Director Medical Device Manufacturing Operations" (could be About the role). Then "What you'll do:" (Responsibilities). Then "Requirements". Then "SCHEDULE". Then "Why Castle Biosciences?" includes benefits: Exceptional Benefits Package, Excellent Annual Salary + 35% Bonus Potential, 20 Accrued PTO Days Annually + 10 Paid Holidays, 401K with 100% Company Match up to 6%, 3 Health Care Plan Options + Company HSA Contribution, Company Stock Grant Upon Hire. Also location: Phoenix, AZ office location, start date on or before October 1, 2026. Also "full-time". Also "full-time onsite role in Phoenix, Monday-Friday, with hours that vary based on operational needs, especially during the startup phase." So schedule: full-time, onsite, Monday-Friday, hours vary.
We need to include sections only if real content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (the day in the life paragraph). Responsibilities (What you'll do). Requirements (the bullet list). Benefits (the list under Why Castle Biosciences?). Pay: we have "Excellent Annual Salary + 35% Bonus Potential". That's pay info. Should we create Pay section? Yes, we have specific pay info. Schedule: we have schedule info. Benefits: we have list of benefits.
We should not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: "Learn more at Castle Biosciences Inc. is growing..." Actually first sentence: "Learn more at Castle Biosciences Inc. is growing, and we are looking to hire a full-time Director Medical Device Manufacturing Operations working from our Phoenix, AZ office location, with a start date on or before October 1, 2026." That's location and start date; we can incorporate into About the role maybe as a short paragraph. Also "Why Castle Biosciences?" heading is not in our allowed headings but we can treat as Benefits section. We'll output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements includes qualifications; we can keep Requirements only.

We'll output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements includes qualifications; we can keep Requirements only.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we have a list of duties after "What you'll do:" with semicolons; we can turn into
- . For Requirements we have bullet list separated by line breaks; we can turn into
- . For Benefits we have list items separated by line breaks or commas; we can turn into
- . For Pay we have a sentence; we can put in

.
We must not include any extra text like "About the role:" heading? Use
About the role
. Then ...

then - ... etc.
Check for duplication: The responsibilities paragraph includes multiple items separated by semicolons; we should split into list items.
Responsibilities text: "Lead the startup and commercial launch of Castle's new manufacturing facility; from equipment installation and process validation through first production runs; build and lead the manufacturing team, including hiring managers, supervisors, and technicians, and establishing the training and operational systems they need to succeed; own day-to-day manufacturing performance including safety, quality, delivery, and cost; while driving continuous improvement and ensuring ongoing FDA/ISO compliance."
We can split each semicolon-separated clause into list items.
Requirements text: "Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Operations Management, or related field; advanced degree (MBA, MS Engineering, or related) preferred10+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience in medical device, diagnostics, or biotechnology industries, with at least 5 years in director-level or equivalent rolesProven experience leading manufacturing startup operations, greenfield site launches, or significant facility expansions in FDA-regulated environments (21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, GMP)Strong understanding of process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), equipment qualification, and manufacturing documentation systems"
We need to separate items: maybe each sentence separated by a period? Actually there is missing spaces. We'll parse: "Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Operations Management, or related field; advanced degree (MBA, MS Engineering, or related) preferred" then "10+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience in medical device, diagnostics, or biotechnology industries, with at least 5 years in director-level or equivalent roles" then "Proven experience leading manufacturing startup operations, greenfield site launches, or significant facility expansions in FDA-regulated environments (21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, GMP)" then "Strong understanding of process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), equipment qualification, and manufacturing documentation systems".

About the role: include location and start date maybe: "Castle Biosciences Inc. is growing, and we are looking to hire a full-time Director Medical Device Manufacturing Operations working from our Phoenix, AZ office location, with a start date on or before October 1, 2026." plus the day in the life paragraph: "We're building a brand-new medical device manufacturing operation and need an experienced leader to build it from the ground up. This Director-level role will own everything from facility startup and process validation, to team building and day-to-day operations. All within an FDA-regulated environment. It's a high-visibility opportunity for someone who thrives on creating something from scratch and wants to make a real impact at a growing diagnostics company."
Combine into one or two paragraphs.
We must not include boilerplate like "Please see the full job description at the end of the job ad." Remove that line. Also remove "READY TO JOIN OUR BIOTECH TEAM?" etc. Also remove "WORK AUTHORIZATION" etc. Also remove "About Castle Biosciences Inc." paragraph (the culture description) because it's boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's generic company description; but we might keep as part of About the role? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Castle Biosciences Inc." paragraph is not exactly boilerplate but it's generic company description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. Might be okay to keep but it's not specific to the role. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include as part of About the role? But it's not about the role. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit.
Thus About the role will contain location/start date and the day in the life paragraph.
