We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About Sandia (intro) maybe not needed as heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: About Sandia (intro) maybe not a required heading but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company overview, not role. Could be omitted? The instruction says we can use those example headings but not required to use all. We should include sections that match content: maybe "About the role" (description of job), "Responsibilities" (list of duties), "Qualifications" (required and desired), "Skills" (maybe list of desired skills), "Pay" (salary range), "Benefits" (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, etc.), "Schedule" (maybe not explicit). Also "About Sandia" could be omitted or placed in a

without heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. We must preserve ALL substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Posting Duration", "Security Clearance" details? Those are substantive? Security clearance is a requirement; we should keep that info. It's part of qualifications. The EEO statement is boilerplate, remove. NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs maybe not boilerplate but specific; could keep? It's about MedPEDs; maybe keep as a note? It's not typical heading; could be included in a

under Qualifications or Benefits? It's a requirement for certain devices; it's substantive. We'll keep it. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content: - About Sandia: paragraph describing lab, reasons we love our jobs, benefits (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities). Also link to sandia.gov. Also note "These benefits vary by job classification." - What Your Job Will Be Like: description of role, responsibilities list (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert to

  • . - Salary Range: $102,400 - $199,700 (estimated). Also note about actual salary determination. - Qualifications We Require: bachelor's degree or equivalent, ability to obtain/maintain DOE Q and SCI clearance. - Qualifications We Desire: graduate degree in CS or related field with independent research project, demonstrated software development skills, familiarity with modern practices (Agile), strong verbal/written communication, ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, passion to improve technical skills. Also seeking individuals with specific experience: list many items. - About Our Team Organization: description of team 06333 responsibilities, expertise, culture. - Posting Duration: maybe not needed as heading; could be omitted as minor metadata. - Security Clearance: details about DOE pre-employment drug test, background review, need US citizenship, SCI access may require polygraph, etc. This is substantive; we can include under Qualifications or a separate section "Security Clearance". Since we have Qualifications section already, we could incorporate clearance details there. - Eeo: remove. - NNSA Requirements For MedPEDs: keep as note. - Job ID, Job Family, etc: minor metadata, drop. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (combining What Your Job Will Be Like and About Our Team?), "Responsibilities" (list of duties), "Qualifications" (required and desired), "Skills" (maybe list of desired technical skills), "Pay" (salary range), "Benefits" (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities). Also "Security Clearance" could be part of Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Let's craft:

    About the role

    We are seeking Software Engineering professionals to join a high-performing team focusing on system integration and testing for space missions. In this role, you will have opportunities to collaborate on the design, development, testing, and deployment of advanced real-time decision support ground systems. Work will include both manual testing using formal test procedures and automated testing using in-house developed automation test tools. You will work with experienced engineers and testers, receive mentoring, and progressively take on increasing responsibility while growing your skills in test automation, formal verification, and system integration.

    Maybe also include About Sandia? Could be a separate

    About Sandia

    but not in list; but we could treat as introductory paragraph without heading. The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those examples. However we could include a

    about Sandia without heading. Better: start with a

    about Sandia (the intro). Then sections. Responsibilities: list all the "On Any Given Day, You May Be Called To ..." items. We'll convert each sentence to

  • . Qualifications: combine required and desired. Could split into Required and Desired subheadings? But we only allowed h3 for sections; we could have

    Qualifications

    and inside have

    for required and

    for desired, or

      . We'll keep as

      paragraphs. Skills: maybe list of desired technical skills (Python, Java, C++, etc.) Could be part of Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we can include them in Qualifications. Pay:
