Director of Engineering
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content: About PSA (company overview) maybe treat as "About the role"? Could be "About PSA" but they said use headings like About the role. We'll use "About the role" for the introductory paragraph about PSA and the role? The posting includes "Let your career take off with PSA Airlines About PSA ..." then "Responsibilities Position Summary ..." then "Job Responsibilities ..." then "Position Specifics Required Qualifications ..." then "Preferred Experience ..." then "Additional Information" includes supervisory, delegation, authorities, work environment, physical demands, AAP/EEO, Security Clearance, Other Duties. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove AAP/EEO Statement, Security Clearance, Other Duties maybe? They said remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Other Duties: Please note this job description is not designated to cover..." That's boilerplate. Also remove "AAP/EEO Statement". Also remove "Security Clearance: All employees are required to pass..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's a requirement but could be considered legal? Might keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Security clearance is legal requirement; maybe keep? It's not EEO. But it's a condition of employment. Might keep as part of Additional Information? However they said "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Security clearance could be minor metadata. Might drop. We'll keep substantive content: About PSA (company overview), Responsibilities (including Position Summary and Job Responsibilities), Requirements/Qualifications (Required Qualifications, Preferred Experience), maybe Skills (Proficient computer skills, Ability to make complex technical decisions, Ability to speak/read/write in English). Benefits: they mention "Join our team to enjoy comprehensive benefits, including travel privileges on the American Airlines global network". That's a benefit. So we can include Benefits section with that detail. Pay and Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Also we have "Supervisory Responsibility: This is a supervisory position." etc. That's Additional Information but could be part of Responsibilities? Might be its own section? Could be "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings list. We could fold into Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably better to include a short
under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section "Additional Information" but not allowed. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. Let's decide:
- About the role: include introductory paragraph about PSA and the role overview (maybe the first paragraph "Let your career take off with PSA Airlines About PSA..." plus the Position Summary? Actually Position Summary is part of Responsibilities. We'll put About the role as a brief overview: PSA Airlines is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, offers growth, teamwork, etc. Also mention travel privileges benefit? That's benefit.
- Responsibilities: include Position Summary and Job Responsibilities (the bullet list). We'll convert to - .
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Experience? But they said separate headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could use Qualifications for Required Qualifications, Skills for abilities, Requirements for experience? Let's interpret: Requirements could be experience and education; Qualifications could be specific qualifications; Skills could be abilities. We'll do:
Requirements
: Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited university. 8+ years of experience in Part 121 Technical Operations or Engineering, including at least 5 years in a leadership role. Knowledge of applicable FAA regulations (14 CFR Parts 21, 25, 43, 91, 121). Extensive experience working across organizational boundaries. Extensive experience operating in an organized labor environment.
Qualifications
: Preferred Experience with commercial airline operations. Experience with Bombardier CRJ aircraft or similar.
Skills
: Proficient computer skills: Microsoft Office Suite. Ability to make complex technical decisions impacting safety, compliance, and operational performance. Ability to speak/read/write in English.
Benefits: comprehensive benefits, including travel privileges on the American Airlines global network.
We also have supervisory responsibility etc. Could be part of Responsibilities? Might add a bullet: Supervisory responsibility: This is a supervisory position. Delegation: In absence, responsibilities delegated to Vice President of Technical Services. Manage assigned budgetary responsibility. Responsible for the Company's Security and Safety Management System (SMS) and associated Safety Risk Management and Safety Assurance outputs. Coordinate Basic Operating Weight procedures with directors... etc. That's part of responsibilities. We'll include those as list items.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all those details.
Let's extract all responsibilities bullets from the text:
From "Position Summary": Provides strategic leadership and technical oversight for all engineering functions supporting PSA Airlines’ fleet. Ensures the highest levels of safety, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability through effective management of reliability programs, engineering standards, and airworthiness processes. Serves as the airline’s technical authority, leading cross-functional efforts to resolve complex engineering challenges, optimize fleet performance, and support safe and efficient operations. Partners closely with internal stakeholders, OEMs, and regulatory agencies to drive continuous improvement, maintain compliance with FAA requirements, and implement engineering strategies that enhance reliability, performance, and cost effectiveness across the operation.
Then "Job Responsibilities" list:
- Provides overall direction and administration of Engineering Support Services.
- Leads and oversees GCC functions, including offshore/shared service teams, ensuring delivery of high-quality engineering data, technical documentation, and analytical support.
- Ensures integrity and control of aircraft configuration data, including oversight of configuration management processes, effectivity, and system accuracy across engineering and maintenance systems.

- Leads evaluation and implementation of Service Bulletins, Airworthiness Directives, and engineering changes impacting the fleet.
- Serves as the Company’s technical authority for engineering standards, policies, and procedures.
- Reviews, approves, and ensures accuracy of all engineering documents, repairs, and modifications, ensuring proper approval basis and regulatory compliance.
- Prepare informational documents for departments of the airline for entry into service of new aircraft types and aid in the entry into service of new aircraft types.
- Serves as the primary engineering representative with OEMs, industry working groups, and regulatory bodies, influencing technical decisions and driving improvements in fleet performance.
- Coordinate the Basic Operating Weight procedures with the Directors of Inflight Services, Maintenance, Operations, Operations Control Center, and Quality.
- Manage assigned budgetary responsibility.
- Responsible for the Company's Security and Safety Management System (SMS) and associated Safety Risk Management and Safety Assurance outputs.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
We need to keep all that.
Now "Position Specifics Required Qualifications": list:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited university.
- 8+ years of experience in Part 121 Technical Operations or Engineering, including at least 5 years in a leadership role.
- Knowledge of applicable FAA regulations (14 CFR Parts 21, 25, 43, 91, 121) and airline maintenance and engineering programs.
- Extensive experience working across organizational boundaries.
- Extensive experience operating in an organized labor environment.
- Proficient computer skills: Microsoft Office Suite.
- Ability to make complex technical decisions impacting safety, compliance, and operational performance
- Ability to speak/read/write in English.
- If hired, must be able to demonstrate that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
That last is about work authorization; could be included in Requirements.
"Preferred Experience with commercial airline operations. Experience with Bombardier CRJ aircraft or similar."
"Additional Information": Supervisory Responsibility: This is a supervisory position. Delegation: In absence, responsibilities delegated to Vice President of Technical Services. Authorities: None Work Environment: This job operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, telephones, photocopiers, facsimile machines and filing cabinets. Physical Demands: The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to talk or hear. This is largely a sedentary role; however, the employee is frequently required to stand; walk; climb up and down stairs; lift weight up to 25 lbs; use hands to handle or feel; and reach with hands and arms.
We could include some of that under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section but not allowed headings. Could fold into Responsibilities as extra bullets. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." Some of this might be considered minor metadata (work environment, physical demands). But they are substantive? Might keep as a short paragraph under Responsibilities? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a short
after Responsibilities for "Work Environment & Physical Demands". But that would be a new section without heading? Not allowed. Could incorporate into Responsibilities as a bullet list? Might be okay.
But we must not create sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Benefits is stated: "Join our team to enjoy comprehensive benefits, including travel privileges on the American Airlines global network". So we will have Benefits section.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:
