We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: At Blue Origin, we envision... This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE)... etc. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits (list), Pay (list of ranges), maybe Schedule not present. Also Special Mentions: Relocation provided (maybe under Benefits or separate). We need to include sections only when real specific content.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: Application Close Date, EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, legal, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info: description, responsibilities list, qualifications, benefits, pay ranges, relocation, etc.
We need to use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we have base pay ranges for CA, CO, WA, VA, other site ranges may differ. That's specific, so include Pay section.
Benefits: list includes medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with company match up to 5%, Education Support Program, Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week), Paid Time Off: up to four weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays. Also mention bonuses etc but that's vague; we can include but not filler? It says "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..." That's somewhat vague but still substantive? Might be okay but could be considered filler. Safer to include the concrete benefits list.
Schedule: not provided, so omit.
Special Mentions: Relocation provided. Could be a short paragraph under Benefits or its own section "Relocation". Since it's a specific mention, we could add a
under Benefits or separate section "Relocation". The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Relocation provided is specific, so we could have a section "Relocation" with a
Relocation provided.
. But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could incorporate into Benefits as a bullet. But Benefits already a list; we could add "Relocation assistance" as a bullet. However the text says "Special Mentions Relocation provided". So we can add a bullet under Benefits: Relocation assistance.
Thus Benefits section bullet list includes relocation.
Now Responsibilities: we have a big list. Need to format as - each bullet. The responsibilities include many sentences; we can split each line starting with a verb. The original has "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To" then a long sentence with semicolons? Actually it's a paragraph with many clauses separated by line breaks? We'll parse each clause as separate bullet.
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
- Perform the complete MIL-STD-461 test suite including:
- CE101 — Conducted Emissions, power leads, 30 Hz to 10 kHz
- CE102 — Conducted Emissions, power leads, 10 kHz to 10 MHz
- CS101 — Conducted Susceptibility, power leads, 30 Hz to 150 kHz
- CS114 — Conducted Susceptibility, bulk current injection (BCI), 10 kHz to 200MHz
- CS115 — Conducted Susceptibility, bulk current injection, impulse excitation
- CS116 — Conducted Susceptibility, damped sinusoid transients, 10 kHz to 100 MHz
- RE101 — Radiated Emissions, magnetic field, 30 Hz to 100 kHz
- RE102 — Radiated Emissions, electric field, 10 kHz to 18 GHz
- RS101 — Radiated Susceptibility, magnetic field, 30 Hz to 100 kHz
- RS103 — Radiated Susceptibility, electric field, 10 kHz to 40 GHz
- Operate, calibrate, and maintain sophisticated EMI/EMC test equipment including EMI receivers, signal generators, broadband power amplifiers, LISNs, current injection probes, calibrated antennas, near-field magnetic probes, and associated test fixtures
- Apply knowledge of shielded room characterization, ground plane bonding techniques, and cable harness dressing in accordance with MIL-STD-461 test setup requirements
- Produce high-quality, technically rigorous test reports demonstrating EMI/EMC standard compliance, including full spectral data plots, tabulated margin results, equipment configuration photographs, calibration traceability records, test anomaly dispositions, and formal pass/fail determinations
- Troubleshoot EMI/EMC test failures and anomalies, identifying root causes and recommending effective corrective actions such as filter insertion, common-mode choke placement, shielded enclosure improvements, PCB-level layout modifications, and cable shielding enhancements
- General Contribute to the definition, verification, and validation of vehicle, system, and component-level requirements for EMI/EMC, lightning, ESD, and RF
- Deliver high quality technical presentations on EMC solutions to review boards
- Champion EMI design and system EMC engineering activities
- Conduct comprehensive risk reduction testing for EMI/EMC based on established industry standards
- Make quick decisions in fast-paced environments
- Work across different functional and design teams to find solutions
We need to format as list items; sub-items for the test suite could be nested
. That's okay.
Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. We'll combine into a Requirements section with two sub-sections? Could just list as bullet points. But we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Requirements section with bullet list combining both minimum and preferred. However we might want to differentiate but not required. We'll just list all qualifications as bullet points.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Minimum of a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or related technical discipline
- 3 years of hands-on experience in EMC/EMI testing and verification, with direct execution experience across all MIL-STD-461 CE, CS, RE, and RS test methods
- In-depth working knowledge of MIL-STD-461G, DO-160G, MIL-B-5087, NASA-STD-4003, CISPR standards, and other relevant industry standards
- Proficiency in EMI test automation software, data acquisition, spectral post-processing, and limit-line comparison analysis
- Demonstrated experience working in small, creative teams on fast-paced projects
- Good troubleshooting skills with proven ability to diagnose and resolve EMI issues down to the component level
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines
- Excellent technical communication skills, both written and verbal
- Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and strengthen our culture of inclusion
- Willingness to support extended hours, weekend shifts, and on-call rotations during critical test campaigns
- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Preferred Qualifications:
- M.S. in Electrical Engineering
We'll include both.

We could also include a short paragraph about relocation under Benefits bullet.
Check for any other specific content: "Special Mentions Relocation provided" we covered.
Now ensure no boilerplate: we removed Application Close Date, EEO, Culture Statement, Export Control Regulations, Background Check, etc.
Check that we didn't inadvertently include any of those lines. We didn't.
Now output only HTML fragment.
