- Then there is EEO boilerplate etc which we must remove.
- Also there is repeated "We look forward to receiving your application." etc. Remove.
- Also there is "About Sartorius" paragraph repeated; we can maybe include as part of About the role? But we have a section About the role maybe we can include description of role and company? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content for:
- About the role: could include overview: Sartorius seeking ... remote St Louis, MO area, supporting Ambr system, location specifics, travel 80%, etc.
- Responsibilities: the "What You Will Accomplish Together With Us" bullet list.
- Requirements: maybe the "What Will Convince Us" includes qualifications, experience, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe separate? But we have overlapping. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications/skills), Benefits. Possibly Skills separate if we have distinct skills list. But we have many skill-like items in What Will Convince Us. Could split: Requirements (education, experience, license) and Skills (technical abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see.
We have:
Education/Experience: Associate degree, formal training, field experience, 2+ years, driver's license/passport.
Technical skills: fault-finding, automation/robotics, measuring AC/DC voltages, hands-on experience with robotics, motors, etc., understanding drawings, problem-solving, training customers, MS Office, schematics, software/firmware updates, calibration, clean room protocols, cell culture, bioreactors, configuring PCs.
Also "We Value" includes soft skills: documentation, customer sensitivity, critical thinking, core values.
Thus we could have:
- Requirements: education, experience, license.
- Skills: technical and soft skills.
- Benefits: What We Offer.
- About the role: overview.
- Responsibilities: what you will accomplish.
We should not include Pay or Schedule as no specific info.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, repeated lines, navigation, legal, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information: include the link to Ambr system? It's a URL; it's substantive? It's a reference for more info. Probably keep as part of About the role.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
