We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must include sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "At Blue Origin, we envision millions...". That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract substantive content.
Let's parse:
- Opening: "Application Close Date Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed." That's metadata, can be dropped.
- Then: "At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Engineer to join our elite team of experts on the Engineering Center of Excellence Electromagnetics team. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of space exploration by ensuring top-level Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), lightning, and Radio Frequency (RF) integration and architecture for our advanced electrical and electronic systems. Your expertise will be crucial in executing rigorous EMI/EMC testing, and developing robust verification strategies to ensure safe and repeatable spaceflight of our cutting-edge aerospace systems."
That's about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or "About the team". We'll use "About the role".
- Then "Special Mentions Relocation provided". That's a benefit? Actually "Relocation provided" is a benefit. Could be included under Benefits. But we have a Benefits section later.
- Then "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To" followed by a long list of responsibilities. We'll put under
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.

- Then "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To" followed by a long list of responsibilities. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - items.
- Then "General" heading with more responsibilities? Actually after responsibilities list, there is "General Contribute to the definition, verification, and validation of vehicle, system, and component-level requirements for EMI/EMC, lightning, ESD, and RFDeliver high quality technical presentations on EMC solutions to review boardsChampion EMI design and system EMC engineering activitiesConduct comprehensive risk reduction testing for EMI/EMC based on established industry standardsMake quick decisions in fast-paced environmentsWork across different functional and design teams to find solutions". This seems like additional responsibilities. We'll combine into responsibilities list.
- Then "Minimum Qualifications" list. We'll put under
Requirements
or Qualifications
. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose Requirements for minimum qualifications, and maybe Qualifications for preferred? But we have both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could put Minimum under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Or combine. We'll follow: Requirements for minimum, Qualifications for preferred.
- Then "Preferred Qualifications M.S. in Electrical Engineering". That's a single line.
- Then "Base Pay Range For WA applicants is $107,136.00 - $149,990.40 Other Site Ranges May Differ". That's pay info. So we need a Pay section.
- Then "Culture Statement ..." that's boilerplate, can drop.
- Then "Export Control Regulations ..." legal, drop.
- Then "Background Check Required for all positions: ..." legal, drop.
- Then "Benefits Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week)Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion. Bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and subject to change and cancellation. Please check with your recruiter for more details."
We need Benefits section.
- Then EEO etc drop.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
Schedule not present, so omit.
Now we need to format.
We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like specific test methods etc.
We need to convert responsibilities list into - . The responsibilities list is long with many items separated by line breaks? We'll need to parse each bullet.
The text after "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To" includes sentences that each start with a verb. We'll split by line breaks? The original text is a paragraph with sentences separated by spaces. We'll need to manually split into sensible items.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Serve as a responsible engineer for electrical system EMI/EMC test and verification, ensuring rigorous compliance with industry standards, customer requirements, and internal guidelines, with particular emphasis on MIL-STD-461G applicability and tailoring for aerospace platforms
- Design, develop, and refine detailed Test Plans and Test Procedures for executing EMI/EMC tests on a wide array of avionics components and systems
