Quality Assurance$73k–$86k/yrFull-time
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. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule: we have Base Salary Rate: $73,019.00 - $85,905.00. That's pay info. Schedule? Not mentioned; maybe full-time indicates schedule but not explicit schedule details. We should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It says Job type: Full-time. That's schedule info? Possibly we could include Schedule section with "Full-time". But rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Base Salary Rate, so Pay section is okay. It also states Job type: Full-time, which could be schedule. However "Schedule" might refer to work schedule like shift, hours. Full-time is a type, not schedule. Safer to not create Schedule section unless explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm". So omit Schedule.
Benefits: they list medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, retirement plan, paid time off, 401(k) with employer match, EAP assistance, etc. So Benefits section is present.
Qualifications: they have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections? The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content.
About the role: likely the paragraph about Edwards looking for Test/Validation Engineer etc. We'll put that in About the role.
Responsibilities: the bullet list under Key Responsibilities Highlights.
Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications? Or we could treat Basic Qualifications as Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Or we could split: Requirements = Basic Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. Skills: maybe list of skills from Preferred Qualifications (like JIRA, etc.) but we already have Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to follow instruction: include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Basic Qualifications (Requirements), Preferred Qualifications (Qualifications), Skills (maybe we can extract skill list), Benefits, Pay. We'll avoid duplication.
Let's extract:
About the role: "Edwards is looking for a Test/Validation Engineer to help ensure excellent quality results in our products. Edwards is a world leader in commercial fire and safety products that go into commercial buildings. As a Test/Validation Engineer you will execute and deliver precision testing of various Edwards products. In this role, you will focus on the product testing, creation of testing protocols and requirement validation to ensure quality performance for our customers and agencies from around the world. You will also use your organizational skills to stay on schedule and help the team become more efficient. Join us today and be a part of a world leader in fire, safety and security company."
Responsibilities: list items from "Key Responsibilities Highlights of the role include:" then bullet points.
We need to convert each bullet to . Ensure we preserve all details.
Let's list them:
- Product testing and validation development
- Review and thoroughly understand product schematics and client requirements for the fire detection products including smoke, CO, and heat sensors for commercial and residential markets. Also, fire notification products that include strobes, sounders and speakers.
- Testing Edwards Fire Systems with a focus on devices ensuring all product operations and functionality.
- Create and execute testing and validation procedures for each product assigned
- Guarantee that the product tests meet agency requirements. (Agencies include UL, ULC, FM, CSFM, FCC, CE, EN-54, and CCCF)
- Run official agency testing for UL (CTDP) and FM (LabQual)
- Ensure that each electrical component, system and even testing equipment are properly functioning in excellent condition
- Test products using various tools like computer software, surface mount technology (SMT), electrical equipment (such as oscilloscopes and multi-meters) and specific testing techniques (such as smoke boxes, heat tunnels, environmental chambers, etc.)
- Use JIRA testing procedures to develop programs for hardware and software operation
- Record all testing processes and log all defects in the JIRA
- Troubleshoot with the engineering department when issues are found when testing
- Collaborate with other test engineers as well as the design engineers on various product development projects in order to maintain constant communication among teams
- Maintain all assigned test plans and schedules for assigned projects
- Management of the engineering test lab
- Assist in the maintenance of the testing lab, ensuring that the lab equipment and system samples are organized
- Maintain installation instructions and manuals in the lab
- Archive test processes and results
- Ensure that there is a clean, safe, and organized common workspace
We need to keep sub-bullets? Could flatten but preserve info. We'll keep as separate items, maybe include sub-points as part of same sentence.
Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- High School Diploma
- 5+ years of Fire Alarm System installation experience
- 5+ years of experience working in an engineering test lab and testing various electrical devices and components
OR
- Associate’s Degree in Electronics Technology, Lab technician, Electrical Engineering, or related field in with 5 years of testing /validation experience
- 2+ years of Fire Alarm System installation experience
- 2+ years of experience working in an engineering test lab and testing various electrical devices and components
We need to preserve OR logic. Could present as two alternative sets. We'll keep as bullet points with "OR" line.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
- B.A./ B.S. in Electronics Technology, Lab technician, Electrical Engineering, or related field with 2 years of related experience preferred
- Experience with JIRA software
- Knowledge of the fire and safety industry
- Understanding of how to use sound measurements, light measurements, smoke tunnels, fire test rooms, smoke boxes, heat tunnels, CO chambers, etc
- General understanding of engineering equipment like soldering irons, hand-held power tools
- Excellent self-task management/prioritization and documentation skills in a R&D or testing lab environment
- Understands how to read and interpret schematics
- Basic knowledge of low voltage electronics
- Expert on Microsoft Office (especially Excel and macros in Excel)
- Demonstrated analytical and problem solving skills with little to no supervision
- Interpersonal skills to work with several departments, including engineering and production
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to stand for long periods of time and lift up to 50 lbs. with or without reasonable accommodation
- On occasions, this role will be required to climb ladders and stairs with or without reasonable accommodations
- Must be authorized to work in the U.S.A. without restrictions
Skills: Could be overlapping with Preferred Qualifications. But we could extract skills like JIRA, Microsoft Office, analytical, communication, etc. However to avoid duplication, maybe we skip Skills section and put those under Qualifications. But instruction says we can include Skills section if there is real specific content. We have many skill-like items. Could create Skills section listing: JIRA software, Microsoft Office (Excel/macros), analytical/problem solving, interpersonal communication, ability to read schematics, etc. However that would duplicate content from Preferred Qualifications. Might be okay but risk of duplication. Better to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Preferred Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we already have Requirements (Basic) and Qualifications (Preferred). That's two sections. Skills could be omitted.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Check if any other sections like "About the company" maybe not needed.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "World Leaders in Fire and Life Safety" etc. That's descriptive but could be considered About the role? Actually it's about company. Could be considered About the role? Might be extra but not required. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info somewhere. Where? Could be part of About the role? It's about company, not role. Could add a section "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings list does not include About the company. So we must fit into allowed headings. Perhaps we can include that info in About the role section as it's still relevant to role context. It's substantive. So we can append after role description.
Thus About the role will include both the role description and the company description paragraph(s) that are not boilerplate. However we must remove EEO statement etc. The "World Leaders in Fire and Life Safety" paragraph is not boilerplate; it's descriptive. We'll keep.
Also the final EEO paragraph must be removed (it's boilerplate). Also "Kidde Global Solutions is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." remove.
Also "Apply now!" etc remove.
Now craft HTML.
We'll output:
