HDM Principal Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? Actually the posting includes "About The Role - You Will ..." then bullet-like sentences. Also "About You" and "Your Experience Includes". Also "You Might Also Have". Also location and salary and benefits. We need to follow rules: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About Our Group (intro) - could be a section? Not listed as allowed headings but we could maybe treat as "About the role"? Actually "About Our Group" is not one of the allowed headings list. The allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings. We have "About The Role - You Will ..." which is basically responsibilities/duties. Could be placed under

  About the role

  or

  Responsibilities

  . The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose either. Probably "About the role" is appropriate for description of role. Then responsibilities could be a list. We also have "About You" (personal traits) - could be under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be "Qualifications". "Your Experience Includes" is definitely qualifications/requirements. "You Might Also Have" could be additional qualifications/skills. Location and salary and benefits: we have salary range and benefits description. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: not mentioned (maybe full-time implied but not explicit). So we should not create Schedule section unless posting states it. It does not explicitly state schedule, though mentions full-time schedule for benefits. But we should not create Schedule unless explicitly stated. The posting says "The benefits for this position are based on a full-time schedule for a full calendar year". That implies full-time but not explicitly stating schedule. Safer to not create Schedule section. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, travel, etc. Where to put location? Could be a short

  after headings, maybe under About the role? Or we could include location in a

  after the sections. The instruction says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Location is minor metadata? It's location of position. Could be placed in a

  after sections. Travel: Up to 10% - also minor metadata. We need to avoid boilerplate like "About Our Group" maybe we can keep as a

  before sections? It's substantive about the group. Could be included as a

  before the About the role heading. We must not repeat job title as heading (not present). Good. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  About Our Group Seagate’s Drive HDM group is at the forefront ...

  We could also make a
  • for duties but the content is sentences; we could keep as

    . The instruction says use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we don't have a list, we can use

      . It's okay. Next, maybe

      Requirements

      or

      Qualifications

      . We have "About You" (personal traits) and "Your Experience Includes" (experience, education). Also "You Might Also Have". We could combine into Qualifications. Let's create

      Qualifications

      and inside we can have
      • for each bullet. But we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: About You: - Passion for identifying and implementing emerging technologies and process improvements to enhance performance, efficiency, and reliability. - Enjoy solving complex technical challenges in a fast-paced environment. - Interested in contributing to the innovation and advancement of the hard disk drive industry. - Thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional environment, partnering with teams across design centers, engineering, manufacturing, and operations to achieve business objectives and drive results. Your Experience Includes: - Demonstrate strong technical leadership, teamwork, communication, and interpersonal skills in a cross-functional, global engineering environment. - Translate complex head-disk interface challenges into clear experiments, decisions, and implementation plans. - Knowledge of head-disk interfaces, slider and tribology technologies, and fly-height adjustment - Understanding of HDD storage systems for enterprise server, desktop, and notebook applications. - Charting skills using Microsoft Excel, JMP or Minitab - Python Scripting and debugging knowledge - Experience with automation of data acquisition - Statistical Knowledge for data analysis - Bachelor’s degree in engineering related field (i.e. Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Computer Engineering, Materials, Physics, or Information Technology) and 15+ years of experience or master’s degree in the same and 12+ years’ experience or PhD and 8+ years’ experience or equivalent experience and education.

        We need to ensure we didn't create any section with filler. All sections have content. We need to avoid duplication: The "About Our Group" paragraph we included as a

        before headings. That's fine. Check for any boilerplate: We removed EEO etc. Not present. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML:
