Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map sections accordingly. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. So we should exclude "Application Information" and "Please submit a current resume..." etc. Also remove "Why Join SDL?" maybe we can keep as a section? It's not in the list but could be considered "About the role" or similar. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. "Why Join SDL?" has content about mission, values. Could be considered "About the role" or "Benefits"? But we already have Benefits section. Could treat "Why Join SDL?" as "About the role" or maybe omit. However we have "About the role" as a generic heading; we could put the introductory paragraph there. The posting includes: "Join the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) team, where you'll contribute to groundbreaking innovations supporting national security. We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3), electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to provide resident technical support to the U.S. Air Force Sentinel System Program Office (SPO) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah." That's suitable for About the role.
Then Position Overview could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Position Overview into About the role. Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or Skills? We have both Required and Preferred. Could map Required Qualifications to "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications to "Skills" or "Qualifications". But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Required and Preferred into one "Qualifications" section with subheadings? But we only allowed for section headings, not subheadings. Could we have two sections: "Requirements" (Required Qualifications) and "Skills" (Preferred Qualifications). That seems okay.
Benefits: we have salary range and benefits. Pay: we have salary range. Benefits: SDL provides retirement contribution etc. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Benefits" section? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into a single "Benefits" section that includes salary range and benefits. However they listed Pay as possible heading. But we can decide to have a "Benefits" section that includes salary and benefits. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states salary range and benefits. So we could have a "Benefits" section that includes both. Or we could have "Pay" and "Benefits" separate. Which is fewer sections? Two vs one. One is fewer. So combine.
Schedule: posting mentions travel occasional less than 25%. That's not a schedule but travel. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3). Possibly also "Why Join SDL?" could be part of About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not use filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The salary range includes "salary commensurate based on education and experience." That's a phrase we must preserve? It's part of the posting. The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". That refers to headings with filler text. If we have a Benefits section, we can include that phrase inside a paragraph; it's not a heading alone. So it's okay.
We need to remove application instructions, etc.
Now craft HTML.

About the role
About the role
Join the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) team, where you'll contribute to groundbreaking innovations supporting national security. We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3), electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to provide resident technical support to the U.S. Air Force Sentinel System Program Office (SPO) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
Position Overview: The selected candidate will serve as a senior E3 subject-matter expert supporting Sentinel mission assurance and nuclear hardness and survivability. The role applies deep expertise in EMI/EMC, electromagnetic pulse (EMP/HEMP), shielding effectiveness, EMSEC/TEMPEST, grounding and bonding, lightning, HERO, ESD, and related electromagnetic survivability disciplines at the system, subsystem, equipment, and facility levels. The engineer will evaluate requirements, designs, analyses, and test results; identify technical risks; and provide independent recommendations to Government and program leadership.
Then Responsibilities:Responsibilities
- Serve as a senior resident E3 technical expert within the Sentinel SPO Mission Assurance Integrated Product Team (IPT).

We must not include application instructions. Also we included a link; is that allowed? It's part of the posting. It's not boilerplate. It's okay. Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed "Job ID", "Date Posted", "Location", "Department/Division", "Clearance", "Travel". Those are metadata; we folded some into About the role? We didn't include location etc. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it." So we can drop location etc. It's okay to omit them as they are minor metadata. However we might want to include location in About the role? Already we have "at Hill Air Force Base, Utah." That's in the intro. Good. We kept clearance info in Requirements. Travel info in Responsibilities. We didn't include Date Posted etc. That's
