We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to decide sections.
Content includes:
- Job Description Summary: description of role, location, purpose.
- Job Description: details of tasks.
- Key Responsibilities: list.
- Basic Qualifications: list.
- Desired Qualifications: list.
- Ideal Candidate: paragraph.
- Why GE Aerospace: paragraph about mission, export-controlled info.
- Additional Information: mentions work environment, professional development, compensation, EEO, legal auth, drug screen, relocation assistance (none). Also mentions "GE Aerospace offers a great work environment, professional development, challenging careers, and competitive compensation." That's benefits-ish.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Desired Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine desired?), Benefits (maybe from Additional Information about work environment, professional development, compensation), Pay (not specified, so we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay), Schedule (not specified, so omit). Also maybe include "Why GE Aerospace" as part of About the role or separate? Could be "About the role" includes summary and why GE Aerospace? But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we must only include sections where we have real content.
Thus:
-

We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we must only include sections where we have real content.
Thus:
- About the role
: include summary paragraph(s) about role, location, purpose, maybe also Why GE Aerospace? Could combine but better to keep separate: maybe "About the role" includes the job description summary and the "Why GE Aerospace" paragraph? But "Why GE Aerospace" is more about company; could be part of About the role. However we could also add a separate section like "About GE Aerospace" but not in allowed headings. So we incorporate into About the role.
- Responsibilities
: list from Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements
: Basic Qualifications.
- Qualifications
: Desired Qualifications.
- Skills
: maybe combine some skill statements from Ideal Candidate or Desired Qualifications? But we already have Qualifications; Skills could be separate for skills like soldering, JTAG, etc. However we might avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Qualifications or Responsibilities. But we need to follow allowed headings; we can omit Skills if not needed. But we have content for skills: soldering, troubleshooting, test equipment, JTAG, etc. Could be placed under Responsibilities or Qualifications. Probably better to have a Skills section to avoid duplication? But we can incorporate into Qualifications (Desired Qualifications) as they are skills. However Desired Qualifications already includes many skill-like items. So we could have Qualifications section covering both basic and desired? But we have separate Basic and Desired; we could merge into Requirements and Qualifications. That seems fine.
Thus we will have:
- About the role (summary + Why GE Aerospace maybe)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (Basic Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Desired Qualifications)
- Benefits (from Additional Information: work environment, professional development, challenging careers, competitive compensation). Also maybe mention relocation assistance? It says No, but we shouldn't include filler like "No". We could mention that relocation assistance is not provided, but that's filler? It's specific: "Relocation Assistance Provided: No". That's substantive? It's a specific statement. Could include but it's a negative. Might be okay but it's not a benefit. Probably we can omit because it's not a benefit. The Benefits section should only be included if posting actually states them. It does state "great work environment, professional development, challenging careers, and competitive compensation." That's benefits. So we include Benefits.
- Pay: not specified, omit.
- Schedule: not specified, omit.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, legal auth, drug screen, etc. Those are boilerplate/legal; we must remove them. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we need to strip those lines. That includes statements about Equal Opportunity Employer, legal authorization, drug screen, export-controlled info? The export-controlled info is part of role requirements (must be US person). That is substantive? It's a requirement for the role due to export control. Might be considered legal but it's a job requirement. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate, but the export-control requirement is likely a job requirement, not boilerplate. However the text includes: "This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status..." This is a requirement; we should keep it under Requirements perhaps.
But the Additional Information also includes: "GE Aerospace is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's boilerplate, remove. Also "Employment decisions are made without regard to..." remove. Also "GE Aerospace will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening." That's also legal boilerplate; remove. Also "Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen (as applicable). Employees may also be subject to random and reasonable-suspicion drug and alcohol testing." That's boilerplate; remove.
Thus we need to keep substantive info: role summary, responsibilities, basic qualifications, desired qualifications, ideal candidate paragraph, why GE Aerospace (mission), benefits (work environment, professional development, challenging careers, competitive compensation). Also maybe mention location: Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
Now produce HTML fragment.
