Director of Test

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. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "STR is seeking a Director of Test to join a new group focused on the complex test and evaluation challenges that exist in the modern world. In this role, you will serve as the technical, programmatic, and customer expert, establishing STR as the industry standard for advanced test and evaluation product delivery in the classified execution of test campaigns. You will help build and guide an expert team that can plan, analyze, and deliver decision-quality results at the speed the DoW requires to field advancements that continue to outpace our adversaries. STR’s approach will emphasize product‑based delivery of test solutions via an experienced, trusted team that can rapidly adapt to evolving customer needs." That's about the role. - "What you will do:" then bullet list (actually sentences separated by commas). Let's extract each duty: "Assemble and lead cross-functional teams of domain experts to design and develop complex, secure testing campaigns, Be responsible for this team, and external additional components and personnel, during all aspects of the campaign Research, identify, and understand new technical approaches and work with program and technical leadership to implement these approaches Engage customers in problem definition, solution concept ideation, and concepts for testing in a diverse set of conditions. Decompose customer needs/complex problems and develop system concepts and solutions Engage with authorities and government officials to ensure compliance with regulations and laws governing all aspects of the testing campaign Develop and maintain effective external relationships with customers, primes, subcontractors, and suppliers to support customer objectives and strengthen STR’s business partnerships Effectively use tools to create, evaluate, and document solutions and clearly communicate the solution to the team, STR management, and customers Build and grow team capability through coaching, mentoring, and creating development opportunities Extensive travel to the Las Vegas area will be required" That's responsibilities. - "Who you are:" then requirements/qualifications/skills. List: "This position requires an Active Top Secret security clearance with eligibility to support special access programs (SAP), for which U.S. citizenship is required. Expert understanding of multi-domain, complex testing methodologies and their principles of design, development, requirements verification, test planning, test execution, operational security, and operations support Experience with Development and Operational testing across Western Test Ranges (CA, NV, UT, CO) Experience in preparing and delivering high-level briefings to customers and senior management. Interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end solution Demonstrated experience in leadership and delivery of advanced development projects Demonstrated experience in working with both internal leadership and external customers in the development and execution of technology and system development programs Strong background interacting with customers and decision-makers, preparing and delivering technical briefings, and translating mission needs into end-to-end solutions; familiarity with technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMs) and cross-functional collaboration Bachelor’s degree and at least 10 years; Master’s degree and at least 8 years; or PhD and at least 5 years of applicable experience directly related to Research, Development, Testing, and Experimentation (RDT&E) 5+ years of work experience as a Developmental or Operational Test Engineer Experience with risk management and safety Strong background in Cyber and RF testing Working knowledge of DoD and IC missions and acquisition processes Familiarity of United States Code regulating Armed Forces and National Defense" Also later: "Full-Time Salary Range: $216,000 - $295,000" and description about salary. Also mention locations: "STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, and Carlsbad, CA." Could be part of About the role or maybe not needed. Also mention: "We specialize in advanced research and development for defense, intelligence, and national security in: cyber; next generation sensors, radar, sonar, communications, and electronic warfare; and artificial intelligence algorithms and analytics to make sense of the complexity that is exploding around us." That's about company. Also mention: "STR is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment that supports deep technical understanding and recognizes the contributions and achievements of all team members. Our work is challenging, and we go home at night knowing that we pushed the envelope of technology and made the world safer. STR is not just any company. Our people, culture, and attitude along with their unique set of skills, experiences, and perspectives put us on a trajectory to change the world. We can't do it alone, though - we need fellow trailblazers. If you are one, join our team and help to keep our society safe! Visit us at www.str.us for more info." That's boilerplate but maybe we can keep as About the role? However we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The equal opportunity statement at end is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the accommodation request line is boilerplate; remove. Also the line about export control etc is legal; remove. We need to preserve substantive information. So we keep the intro, responsibilities, qualifications, salary range, maybe location info? The location info is not a heading but could be part of About the role. It's substantive. We need sections: About the role (intro + maybe location + company focus?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: salary range given. So we need a Pay section with that. Schedule: Not mentioned besides "Full-Time" and "Extensive travel to the Las Vegas area will be required". Travel is not schedule. No schedule details like hours, shift. So we should NOT create a Schedule section because no specific schedule info. Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits details. So we should NOT create Benefits section. Skills: Could be extracted from qualifications: e.g., "Expert understanding of multi-domain, complex testing methodologies", "Experience with Development and Operational testing across Western Test Ranges", "Experience in preparing and delivering high-level briefings", etc. Those could be considered skills. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications sections; we need to decide what to put where. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have to avoid filler. We can put: - About the role: intro paragraph + maybe company focus and locations. - Responsibilities: the "What you will do:" list. - Requirements: maybe the security clearance, citizenship, degree/experience minimums? Or we could split: Requirements = mandatory (clearance, citizenship, degree/experience). Qualifications = preferred/experience specifics. Skills = specific technical skills. But we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections must have real specific content. Let's extract: Mandatory requirements: - Active Top Secret security clearance with eligibility to support special access programs (SAP) - U.S. citizenship required - Bachelor’s degree and at least 10 years; Master’s degree and at least 8 years; or PhD and at least 5 years of applicable experience directly related to RDT&E - 5+ years of work experience as a Developmental or Operational Test Engineer These are requirements. Qualifications (maybe preferred): - Expert understanding of multi-domain, complex testing methodologies and their principles... - Experience with Development and Operational testing across Western Test Ranges (CA, NV, UT, CO) - Experience in preparing and delivering high-level briefings to customers and senior management. - Interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end solution - Demonstrated experience in leadership and delivery of advanced development projects - Demonstrated experience in working with both internal leadership and external customers in the development and execution of technology and system development programs - Strong background interacting with customers and decision-makers, preparing and delivering technical briefings, and translating mission needs into end-to-end solutions; familiarity with technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMs) and cross-functional collaboration - Experience with risk management and safety - Strong background in Cyber and RF testing - Working knowledge of DoD and IC missions and acquisition processes - Familiarity of United States Code regulating Armed Forces and National Defense Skills could be overlapping; but we could treat Skills as the specific technical skills: Cyber and RF testing, risk management and safety, etc. However we already have many in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (list). It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into a single "Requirements" section that includes both mandatory and preferred. But we also have Skills separate. Could we drop Skills if it's thin? Let's see if we have distinct skills not covered elsewhere: Cyber and RF testing, risk management and safety, DoD/IC missions, acquisition processes, US Code familiarity. Those are already in Qualifications. So Skills might be redundant. Better to omit Skills section if no distinct content beyond what's already covered. Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay. We need to ensure we don't create Benefits or Schedule sections. Now we need to format:

About the role

...

We need to include the intro paragraph plus maybe company focus and locations. Let's craft a concise paragraph preserving all substantive info. Intro: "STR is seeking a Director of Test to join a new group focused on the complex test and evaluation challenges that exist in the modern world. In this role, you will serve as the technical, programmatic, and customer expert, establishing STR as the industry standard for advanced test and evaluation product delivery in the classified execution of test campaigns.

STR’s approach will emphasize product‑based delivery of test solutions via an experienced, trusted team that can rapidly adapt to evolving customer needs." Company focus: "STR specializes in advanced research and development for defense, intelligence, and national security in cyber; next generation sensors, radar, sonar, communications, and electronic warfare; and artificial intelligence algorithms and analytics to make sense of the complexity that is exploding around us." Locations: "STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, and Carlsbad, CA." We can combine into one or two paragraphs. Keep all. Now Responsibilities:

Responsibilities

• ... each duty as li. We need to ensure we keep all duties exactly as given, but we can split into separate li items. The original had some lines with commas; we can treat each sentence as a duty.
