We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. The posting includes: About Our Company (maybe not needed as heading? It's about company, not role. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Our Company" is company description; we could put under "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections like About the role (maybe combine company description and role summary). Responsibilities: list of essential responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: required qualifications & experience. Skills: maybe preferred qualifications? Could treat as Skills. Benefits: Benefits Overview. Pay: Posted Salary Range. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe not a standard heading; but we could incorporate into Requirements? It's not one of the allowed headings; we could drop it or maybe include under Requirements? But instruction: only use those headings; we can omit sections not matching. So we can drop Physical Requirements. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from About Our Company, Role Summary, Essential Responsibilities, Required Qualifications & Experience, Preferred (maybe as Skills), Benefits Overview, Posted Salary Range. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all specifics. So we need to include bullet lists for responsibilities, qualifications, preferred skills, benefits. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. About Our Company paragraph: "At Heven AeroTech (Heven), we don’t just believe in the power of people—we build our success on it. As a recognized leader in hydrogen-powered drones, we’ve earned recognition for creating a workplace where innovation thrives, collaboration is second nature, and every employee feels valued. Our culture is anchored in trust and a shared commitment to excellence. We believe great teams are built on individuals who are humble, hungry, and smart—those who put team success first, take initiative to continuously improve, and demonstrate strong interpersonal awareness. At Heven, your voice matters, your ideas are heard, and your contributions make a tangible impact as you grow through hands-on experience and collaboration across the team." Role Summary paragraph: "The Flight Test Engineer plans, executes, and analyzes ground and flight tests for prototype and pre-production vehicles and their subsystems. This role also contributes to broader engineering analysis by linking vehicle and configuration changes to updated performance and dynamics predictions, modeling and simulation outputs, and verification evidence. This is an experienced individual-contributor position that works closely with Flight Test Engineering and cross-functional Engineering teams. The Flight Test Engineer independently owns discrete test events end to end, exercises sound engineering judgment in the field, and produces test documentation and analysis that withstands technical and safety review. Success in this role requires a hungry mindset—proactively seeking the next step, anticipating needs in test execution and analysis, and continuously improving technical contributions. It also requires humility, with a focus on team success, sharing credit, and learning from others. Strong interpersonal awareness is essential to collaborate effectively across disciplines, communicate clearly, and operate in dynamic test environments. In addition to flight test responsibilities, this role supports broader engineering efforts including performance and stability assessments, modeling and simulation, and translating configuration changes into testable predictions and" It cuts off? The text ends with "and". Probably missing continuation but we keep as is. Essential Responsibilities: a long list of bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons? Actually each responsibility is a sentence ending with a period? Let's capture each as list item. We need to convert each responsibility into
  • . The responsibilities are separated by semicolons? Actually they are separated by semicolons within sentences? Let's parse: "Develop flight and ground test plans, test cards, and test procedures; identify gaps, dependencies, and next steps ahead of the schedule rather than in reaction to it" That's one responsibility with two parts separated by semicolon. Could split? Better keep as one sentence. Next: "Define test objectives, success criteria, and data requirements in collaboration with cross-functional teams, emphasizing shared ownership and team success" Next: "Lead test readiness activities, including configuration verification, instrumentation checks, test article conformity, and pre-brief and debrief documentation" Next: "Own traceability between requirements, test procedures, and test results, maintaining disciplined and organized documentation" Next: "Serve as a test conductor or test engineer for on-site operations (field site and/or control room), including checklists, configuration checks, coordination with operators and maintainers, and disciplined test logging, while demonstrating strong situational awareness and sound judgment" Next: "Plan and execute envelope build-up and expansion activities, approaching work with diligence and a safety-first mindset" Next: "Execute ground and bench testing to retire risk prior to flight, consistently looking for opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness" Next: "Specify, set up, and validate instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition, and telemetry, ensuring data quality and completeness" Next: "Perform post-test data reduction and analysis using MATLAB and/or Python, producing clear, accurate, and actionable results" Next: "Author test reports and presentations documenting setup, procedures, results, anomalies, and follow-up actions, while appropriately recognizing team contributions" Next: "Update analysis and prediction models when vehicle or system configurations change" Next: "Perform or coordinate performance, stability, and control analysis using the modeling and simulation tools appropriate to the vehicle and test objectives" Next: "Support weight, center of gravity, and static stability analysis" Next: "Use modeling and simulation outputs to inform performance predictions, stability and control expectations, and pre-test planning" Next: "Correlate predictions to test data and clearly communicate discrepancies, root causes, and recommended actions for engineering review" Next: "Plan and execute integration testing of avionics, control systems, sensors, data links, and payload interfaces, leading structured troubleshooting efforts" Next: "Drive verification and validation activities by collecting test evidence and maintaining organized, auditable artifacts" Next: "Own discrepancy tracking and resolution in collaboration with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams, demonstrating humility, accountability, and strong teamwork" Next: "Contribute to test safety reviews, hazard analyses, and risk mitigation planning for test events" Next: "Mentor junior engineers and technicians on test discipline, data quality, and documentation standards" Next: "Other duties as assigned." We'll keep each as
