We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about JPL mission etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About JPL". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections are present. We have: - Description of role: "As an Environmental Development Technician, you will be working for Mechanical Fabrication & Test Section which maintains technical support facilities and resources that provide the services required to fabricate, assemble, and test electro-mechanical developmental and flight hardware. This Section develops and matures equipment and technologies, which enable and enhance our fabrication and environmental test capability for current and future missions." - Then "Some Challenges You Will Tackle:" followed by a list of duties. That's responsibilities. - Then "IMPORTANT******* This position, because of its associated job duties, has been determined by JPL to be safety-sensitive..." That's maybe a note about safety-sensitive, could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? It's a condition. Could be part of Requirements? Might be considered a note but we need to preserve substantive info. Could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements as it's a job requirement (safety-sensitive, drug testing). But we can also include as a separate note? The instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content. We could include a section "Requirements" that includes the safety-sensitive note plus qualifications list. - Then "Qualifications:" with bullet list of education/experience requirements and specific experiences. - Then "Got These? Even Better" list of additional desirable experience/skills. - Then benefits paragraph: "JPL has a catalog of benefits and perks that span from the traditional to the unique. This includes a variety of health, dental, vision, wellbeing, and retirement plans, paid time off, learning, rideshare, childcare, flexible schedule, parental leave and many more. Our focus is on work-life balance, and living healthy, fulfilling lives as we Dare Mighty Things Together. For benefits eligible positions, benefits are effective the first day of the month coincident with or immediately following the employee’s start date. For further benefits information click Benefits and Perks" Thus we have benefits content. - Then Pay: "The hiring range displayed below is specifically for those who will work in or reside in the location listed. In extending an offer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory considers factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s job related skills, experience, knowledge, and relevant education/training. The typical full time equivalent annual hiring range for this job in Pasadena, California. $87,568 - $107,848" Thus we have Pay range. - Schedule? Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention: "Ability to be available to work day and night shifts, overtime, weekends, and/or holidays, as needed." That's schedule info. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a Schedule section. Since we have explicit schedule info, we could create a Schedule section with that statement. However instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state schedule info (ability to work day/night shifts etc). So we can include Schedule section. But we also have schedule info within qualifications; we could still create a Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Environmental Development Technician". Use headings for sections. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities (the "Some Challenges You Will Tackle:" list), Qualifications (education/experience + safety-sensitive note), Skills (maybe the "Got These? Even Better" list could be Skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract content precisely. Intro paragraph: "New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL. Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence. This unique opportunity is part of the Mechanical Systems Engineering, Fabrication and Test Division which engages in research, technology development, and the creation of advanced mechanical, thermal, propulsion, and electronic packaging systems with expertise that spans the full breath of mechanical disciplines and is applied from architectural concept development through operations." That's about the role/division. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

. Responsibilities: list after "Some Challenges You Will Tackle:" includes many items separated by line breaks. Let's capture them as list items. List: - Prepare, configure, and support thermal test equipment including small and large vacuum chambers - Assist with setup and operation of vacuum and thermal chambers - Install, route, and verify thermocouples and other temperature sensors. - Troubleshoot vacuum, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems - Perform chamber leak checks, pump-down operations and system readiness checks - Monitor thermal vacuum testing and respond to test anomalies or out of limit conditions - Support test article installation, chamber closeout, and post-test hardware removal - Perform routine chamber maintenance and repairs - Coordinate with engineers and other technicians to prepare for environmental testing - xenon arc lamp handling - Solar Simulator operations - Cryo pump rebuilding - Follow test procedures, safety requirements, and contamination control practices with working with critical hardware - Work safely around flight hardware following ESD, cleanroom, and critical item handling requirements. - Fabricate, terminate, label, route, and troubleshoot instrumentation and signal cables supporting vibration, acoustic, shock, and modal testing. Note: some items are not full sentences but okay. We'll put each as

  • . Qualifications: includes safety-sensitive note plus education/experience requirements and specific experiences. Safety-sensitive note: "IMPORTANT******* This position, because of its associated job duties, has been determined by JPL to be safety-sensitive as defined in JPL's Drug Free Workplace Requirement. An employee holding this position will be subject to periodic, unannounced, random drug testing. Please refer to JPL's Drug Free Workplace Requirement for more information. Candidates who are hired into designated safety-sensitive positions will be included in a pool from which individuals are randomly selected to participate in the unannounced drug testing." We'll keep that as a paragraph. Then "Qualifications:" bullet list: - Typically requires a High School diploma with a minimum of 8 years of related experience; or an Associates degree with a minimum of 4 years of related experience; or a Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 1 years of related experience; and related required training. - Experience with the use of LN2, GN2, and the design, assembly and fabrication or maintenance of pressure systems - Experience operating and maintaining Vacuum Chambers - Experience operating solar simulator - Experience handling xenon arc lamps - Experience operating and maintaining small shakers - Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and test procedures. - Demonstrated troubleshooting skills for instrumentation, electrical systems, and thermal vacuum test equipment. - Ability to work independently and communicate effectively. - Ability to work in a cleanroom environment with the appropriate gloves, hat, booties, smock etc. in support of flight hardware testing. - Ability to be available to work day and night shifts, overtime, weekends, and/or holidays, as needed. We'll include these as list items under Qualifications. Skills: "Got These? Even Better" list: - Experience operating and maintaining acoustic chambers, tunable shock beams, and mass properties machines - Knowledge of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) hazards and awareness, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management, hazard communication, cleanroom protocols and personnel protective equipment, Job Safety Analysis, Lockout/Tagout procedures, and handling of critical flight hardware and testing equipment. - Fall restraint knowledge and experience - Knowledge of fabrication of thermal couples, the operation of multi-meters, signal generators, and digital data management equipment and the repair and calibration of instrumentation equipment, spot welding equipment for instrumentation assembly and repair. - Experience in handling/plumbing of cryogenic liquids and delivery systems, component replacement, the calibration, and repair of helium mass spectrometer leak detectors, experience with the operation or setup of Programmable Logic Control (PLC) type systems. We'll put these as list items under Skills. Benefits: paragraph as extracted. Pay: paragraph with range. Schedule: we have the ability to work day/night shifts etc already in Qualifications. But we could still create a Schedule section with that statement. However to avoid duplication, maybe we keep schedule info within Qualifications and not create separate Schedule section. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state schedule info (ability to be available to work day and night shifts...). So we could create Schedule section with that specific sentence. But we already have it in Qualifications; duplication might be okay but we should avoid repeating same content? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we could move that sentence to Schedule section and remove from Qualifications to avoid duplication. But Qualifications also includes many other items; we could keep the schedule item there and also have Schedule section? That would duplicate. Better to place schedule info under Schedule section and not duplicate in Qualifications. Let's see if Qualifications still makes sense without that item. It would lose that ability. But we could keep it in Qualifications as it's a qualification (ability to work shifts). The schedule section could be redundant but maybe acceptable. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Qualifications and Schedule might be thin. Better to keep schedule info within Qualifications and not create a separate Schedule section, because schedule info is part of qualifications. The instruction says we can create Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does, but we are not required to create it; we can choose not to if we prefer fewer sections. So we can omit Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Check if any other sections like "Requirements" needed? We have Qualifications covering requirements. Could also have Requirements separate but we already have Qualifications. The instruction list includes Requirements as possible heading. But we can choose to not include Requirements if we have Qualifications covering it. However we have a separate "Qualifications" heading with bullet list; that satisfies. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce:
