We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a Position Summary, Key Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Physical Requirements & Working Conditions, U.S. Person Requirement, Pay info, Benefits. Also shift schedule. We must use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content.
We have Position Summary (could be About the role). Key Responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Required Qualifications -> Requirements (or Qualifications). Preferred Qualifications could be Qualifications or Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we can have multiple: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out things like "EOE, including disability/vets", "We will never ask applicants to pay fees...", contact info for accommodations maybe? That's maybe considered boilerplate? It's about accommodations, could be considered part of benefits? Might be considered legal. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request might be considered part of EEO? Might be safer to remove that paragraph. Also remove "Alternative methods of applying..." etc. Also remove "U.S. Person Requirement" maybe? That's a requirement, not boilerplate. Keep it.
We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does: "The hourly range for this role is $29.11 - $43.67 per hour." Also mentions competitive salary etc. So we include Pay.
Schedule: shift info: "Shift: A Shift: Sunday - Tuesday, every other Wednesday 6:00 AM- 6:00 PM". Also mention 12-hour compressed work-week shift schedule. So we include Schedule.
Benefits: they list many benefits: "SkyWater offers an exciting environment... We offer competitive salary and an opportunity to participate in incentive plans as well as other employee financial benefits, including 401k match, and life insurance. Additionally, SkyWater offers a comprehensive benefits package which promotes a healthy life. This includes benefit eligibility day one, medical, dental, mental health benefits, vision, legal planning, short- and long-term disability, paid time off, paid holidays, an on-site fitness facility, and an on-site self-serve market." So we include Benefits.
Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to decide what goes where. Possibly Requirements = Required Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications? Or Skills = maybe some skills like computer skills, communication. But we can also put skills under Skills section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:

Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list.
Extract:
- Education: Associate of Science / 2-Year Technical Degree in Electronics, Mechanical Technology, Semiconductor Manufacturing, or related discipline (equivalent military technical training or direct industry experience considered).
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on equipment maintenance experience in a semiconductor manufacturing facility (or equivalent high-tech precision manufacturing environment).
- Demonstrated expertise in electro-mechanical, fluidic, and pneumatic troubleshooting, repair, and alignment.
- Strong mechanical aptitude with precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, multi-meters).
- Proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams, managing maintenance priorities independently, and driving tool uptime metrics.
- Proficient computer skills (Windows OS, MS Office suite, and computerized maintenance management systems).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
We could split computer skills and communication into Skills section, but they are also in Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could keep them under Requirements and not duplicate in Skills. But we need a Skills section if we want to include it; we could put other skills like "Proficient computer skills..." and "Strong written and verbal communication skills..." under Skills, and keep Requirements focused on education/experience/mechanical aptitude etc. However the instruction says we should not invent or summarize away detail. If we split, we still preserve all detail, just categorize differently. That's acceptable as long as we don't lose info. We'll keep Requirements for education, experience, expertise, mechanical aptitude, track record. Skills for computer skills and communication. Also maybe include "Proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams..." could be considered a skill but we can keep in Requirements.
Let's decide:
Requirements:
- Education: Associate of Science / 2-Year Technical Degree in Electronics, Mechanical Technology, Semiconductor Manufacturing, or related discipline (equivalent military technical training or direct industry experience considered).
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on equipment maintenance experience in a semiconductor manufacturing facility (or equivalent high-tech precision manufacturing environment).
- Demonstrated expertise in electro-mechanical, fluidic, and pneumatic troubleshooting, repair, and alignment.
- Strong mechanical aptitude with precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, multi-meters).
- Proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams, managing maintenance priorities independently, and driving tool uptime metrics.
Skills:

Qualifications (Preferred):
- Direct, hands-on maintenance and rebuild experience on Applied Materials (AMAT) Mirra / Mirra Mesa / Desica CMP platforms.
- Working knowledge of multi-axis servo systems, precision robotics, peristaltic/bellows slurry pumps, and process chillers.
- Experience mentoring entry-level or intermediate maintenance technicians.
Physical Requirements & Working Conditions: we could incorporate into Requirements or a separate section? Not in headings list. Could be part of Requirements or maybe we could add a section but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could still add other headings but better to stick to those. Physical requirements could be placed under Requirements or maybe under Schedule? But schedule is separate. Could add a short paragraph under Requirements about physical requirements. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate physical requirements into Requirements section as additional bullet. Similarly U.S. Person Requirement could be under Requirements as well. We need to preserve all substantive info, so we must include US Person requirement and physical requirements somewhere. Let's add them under Requirements as bullets. Thus Requirements bullets will include: - Education: Associate of Science / 2-Year Technical Degree in Electronics, Mechanical Technology, Semiconductor Manufacturing, or related discipline (equivalent military technical training or direct industry experience considered). - Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on equipment maintenance experience in a semiconductor manufacturing facility (or equivalent high-tech precision manufacturing environment). - Demonstrated expertise in electro-mechanical, fluidic, and pneumatic troubleshooting, repair, and alignment. - Strong mechanical aptitude with precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, multi-meters). - Proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams, managing maintenance priorities independently, and driving tool uptime metrics. - Ability to work a 12-hour compressed work-week shift schedule (standing, walking, bending, reaching for extended periods). - Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs. - Must wear full cleanroom PPE (bunny suit, safety glasses, chemical aprons/face shields when required) and adhere to cleanroom contamination protocols. - Ability to safely work with and around hazardous production chemicals and pressurized systems. - U.S. Person Requirement: Must be a "U.S. Person" as defined by ITAR (U.S. Citizen, U.S. Permanent Resident / Green Card holder, Political Asylee, or Refugee). That covers physical and US Person. Now Skills section: computer skills and communication. Benefits section: list benefits. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "EEO, including
