FAST Labs - Software Engineer - Early Career Levels - Secret
for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to parse the job description.
Key content:
- Location: Merrimack, New Hampshire (on site full-time). Could be under About the role or maybe Schedule? Schedule: full-time on site 100% of the time. So we can have Schedule section: "Full-time, on-site (Merrimack, NH)".
- About the role: description of FAST Labs, mission, etc. Could be a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: collaborating with cross-functional teams, developing software applications, driving agile processes, interfacing with hardware, applying DevSecOps/CI/CD, utilizing containerization/cloud, developing software for RF/Radar/EO/IR/EW/SDR, etc.
- Requirements: Required Education, Experience, & Skills: Active Secret DoW clearance with ability to obtain Top Secret clearance; Bachelor's Degree in CS, CE, or related technical field; Experience with OO design, development practices, implementation in C++11 (or later); Experience developing for and operating in a Linux Environment.
- Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills: Master's Degree; MATLAB Experience is a plus; Development experience with Python; GPU OPENCL or CUDA development experience highly desired; Experience in rapid prototype environment; Real-time, embedded, multi-threaded, low latency development and/or Linux application development; Active Top Secret DoW clearance.
- Skills: Could combine some of the above? But we have separate sections for Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Requirements (mandatory) and Preferred (maybe Qualifications). Skills could be specific technical skills list.
We can treat:
- About the role: description of FAST Labs, mission, environment.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: bullet list of mandatory items (clearance, degree, C++ experience, Linux).
- Qualifications: bullet list of preferred items (Master's, MATLAB, Python, GPU, rapid prototype, real-time embedded, Top Secret clearance).
- Skills: maybe list of specific technologies: C++, Python, MATLAB, Kubernetes, Harbor, Helm, RTOS, FPGA, GPU, embedded SoC, UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, DevSecOps, CI/CD, Podman/Docker, cloud native, etc. But we might avoid duplication. Could combine with Responsibilities? However we need to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for each.
- Benefits: paragraph about benefits.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: full-time on-site.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some boilerplate like "Thank you for your interest...". That's not a section heading; we can include as part of About the role? Actually it's generic intro; but we can keep as prose in About the role maybe. However we should remove duplicated lines and application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions besides "If your background... we will be in touch". That's not application instruction; it's okay.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

We'll keep that as prose.
Pay: as above.
Schedule: "Because of the need for consistent, in-person collaboration and secure access to sensitive information, this role will be performed full-time on site . This means work will be conducted on location at a BAE Systems facility 100% of the time." So schedule: Full-time, on-site (Merrimack, NH) – 100% on location.
Now ensure we didn't repeat job title. No headings for Job ID.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any boilerplate like "Thank you for your interest in BAE Systems!" is okay as part of About the role.
Make sure we don't include any navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes "This position will be posted for at least 5 calendar days..." that's not needed? It's not a section; it's near end. Should we include? It's not part of the sections we defined; it's more about posting duration. Could be omitted as it's not substantive about role? It's administrative. Probably we can drop it as it's not required content. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The posting duration is substantive? Might be considered administrative but not about role. However it's not a section heading; we could include as a paragraph under About the role? But it's not about role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not cookie/navigation/legal/EEO. It's about posting. I'd keep it maybe as a short paragraph under About the role or separate? But we have no section
for prose. We need to parse the job description. Key content: - Location: Merrimack, New Hampshire (on site full-time). Could be under About the role or maybe Schedule?
