We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay and Benefits only if posting states them. It does state salary range and benefits (competitive salaries, continuing education assistance, multiple healthcare benefits packages, 401K with employer matching, paid time off (PTO) along with federally recognized holiday schedule). So we can have Benefits section with those items. Pay section: we have salary range. Should we separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay and Benefits only if posting states them. It does state salary range and benefits (competitive salaries, continuing education assistance, multiple healthcare benefits packages, 401K with employer matching, paid time off (PTO) along with federally recognized holiday schedule). So we can have Benefits section with those items. Pay section: we have salary range. Should we separate Pay and Benefits? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Pay and Benefits separate. Provide Pay: salary range. Benefits: list.
Also need About the role (overview). Responsibilities (job duties). Requirements (basic qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills maybe from preferred qualifications? Could combine. But we can include Skills section if there is content: e.g., Excellent communication and team interaction skills, Mathematical or computer expertise. Could be part of Qualifications. But we can create Skills section with those.
Schedule: posting mentions occasional scheduled extended hours and/or weekend work, occasional unscheduled night or weekend support in emergency situations. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
Overview: "Beyond New Horizons, LLC (BNH) has an exciting opportunity for an Instrumentation and Data Acquisition Engineer supporting TOS II, at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) at Arnold AFB, TN. The ID&C Engineer will work as a member of an integrated team responsible for operating and maintaining the United States Air Force Test Operations efforts at AEDC. This position requires occasional scheduled extended hours and/or weekend work to meet critical contractual requirements and occasional unscheduled night or weekend support in emergency situations."
Job Summary: details about function, etc. Could be part of About the role.
We'll create About the role section combining Overview and Job Summary (maybe summarizing but must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep paragraphs as is, not summarizing. So we can put the overview and job summary as prose under About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "Job Duties" bullet list. Must preserve all details. Use - .
Requirements: Basic Qualifications bullet list.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list.
Skills: maybe extract communication, team interaction, mathematical or computer expertise. Could be part of Preferred Qualifications but we can separate.
Benefits: list: Competitive salaries, Continuing education assistance, Multiple healthcare benefits packages, 401K with employer matching, Paid time off (PTO) along with a federally recognized holiday schedule.
Pay: Salary range: L06: $71,000 – $92,000; L07: $76,000 - $108,000 / year.
Schedule: occasional scheduled extended hours and/or weekend work; occasional unscheduled night or weekend support in emergency situations.
We must not include duplicated lines like "U.S. Citizenship is required." appears multiple times; we should include only once? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to include U.S. Citizenship requirement only once, maybe in Requirements or Qualifications. It's in Basic Qualifications and also later in "Who We Are" section. We'll include it once under Requirements.
Also "Join our Team! U.S. Citizenship is required. At this time BNH will not sponsor any applicants..." that's boilerplate? It's about immigration support; maybe considered application instructions? It's not exactly boilerplate but could be considered part of eligibility. Might be considered substantive? It's about not sponsoring. Might be considered relevant. But it's somewhat like a disclaimer. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is about immigration sponsorship, could be considered application instructions? Might be considered legal. Safer to remove it. Also remove EEO statement. Remove "Who We Are" maybe? That's substantive about company but could be considered boilerplate? It's description of company; maybe keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but "Who We Are" is substantive about company. However it's somewhat generic but still info. Might keep as part of About the role? But we already have overview. Could include a short paragraph about BNH under About the role. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We could keep it as part of About the role.
But we need to decide what to keep. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Who We Are" paragraph is not exactly boilerplate but is descriptive; could be kept. However it's somewhat promotional; still substantive. I'd keep it as part of About the role.
But we must avoid duplication: The overview already mentions BNH. The Who We Are repeats some. Might be duplicate. Safer to keep only the overview and job summary; remove the Who We Are as duplicate.
Also remove "Join our Team!" line.

Schedule
Occasional scheduled extended hours and/or weekend work to meet critical contractual requirements; occasional unscheduled night or weekend support in emergency situations.
Check for any missing substantive info: The job summary includes details about supporting test operations, system/maintenance engineering, design engineering for systems used across PWT and VKF facilities, ensuring reliable data acquisition spanning transonic, supersonic, hypersonic up to Mach 10 regimes, enabling evaluation of large-scale aircraft, space launch vehicles, high-speed missiles using CTS and PSP. Also core responsibilities list (instrumentation and data acquisition systems, motion control systems, facility and process control systems, plant process control systems). Also mention applying theoretical concepts and equations of electronics, signal processing, motion, control theory, various software and computer skills. Also deployment to Flight Systems Test Facilities, possible reassignment, support multiple test areas/facilities. Also mention performing work generally within Instrumentation, Data Acquisition, and/or Control System Engineering, preparation/interpretation/review of calculations, specifications, plans, investigations, surveys, structures, systems or equipment with relatively few complex features. Also list of participation items: Application and support of ID&C systems in preparation for and during active ground test operations; System troubleshooting and return-to-service; Development of system requirements; Preparation of specifications and design calculations; ID&C System design, development, lifecycle system engineering and/or system application and maintenance; System design, including concept sketches and layouts; Automated Control and HMI Software Development; Preparing designs, drawings and data under supervision of more experienced engineering staff; Preparation of engineering studies and reports; Preparation of material quantity estimates; Uses CAD/CAE tools; System Verification and Validation; Test Development/Execution; Evaluate, select, and apply standard engineering methods, techniques, procedures and criteria under mentorship of senior engineering staff; Perform assignments with clear and specific objectives requiring investigation of limited number of variables for ID&C Engineering; supports use of common work processes and procedures within assigned function across TOS contract; Draft letters for replies to vendor correspondence; Monitor and meet applicable work schedules; Review design documents of equipment manufacturers or subcontractors of low to moderate complexity and prepare comments and recommendations; Condition of employment to wear company issued PPE per supervisory direction and company policy; Perform other related duties as required.
We need to include all these in Responsibilities. That's a lot. We'll list each as - .
Also Basic Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree focusing on Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics or other related engineering; Must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance and maintain authorized user access to the AEDC local area network; U.S. Citizenship is required due to federal government contract compliance requirements and the necessity to access secure federal databases and networks on Arnold Air Force Base.
Preferred Qualifications: Active DoD secret or higher-level security clearance; Developmental experience such as internships, co-op assignments, senior/capstone projects, prior work experience, etc. in one or more of the following: Transducers, sensors, electrical circuits, signal processing, and data acquisition systems used to measure temperature, pressure, force, flow, acceleration, vibration, and other physical phenomena common to aerospace systems testing; Control system theory and design concepts such as Controls Strategy and Algorithm Development, Math Modeling/Simulations, Calibration, Motion Controls, Process Controls, Process Instrumentation, Sequencing Systems, Stability & Control, Servomechanisms, Systems Safety, Networks & Field Busses, Control System Optimization, Learning and Rule-based Systems; Excellent communication and team interaction skills; Mathematical or computer expertise or a combination of the same.
We already extracted communication and math/computer expertise into Skills; but they also appear in Preferred Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could keep them only in Skills and not repeat in Qualifications. But we must preserve all substantive info; if we omit them from Qualifications, we lose that info. However we could keep them in Qualifications and also in Skills? That would be duplication. Better to keep them only in one place. Since Skills section is optional, we could incorporate those into Qualifications and not have separate Skills. But the instruction allows Skills section; we can choose not to include it if we think it's redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to not have Skills if it's thin. We'll merge communication and math/computer expertise into Preferred Qualifications.
Thus we will have Qualifications (Preferred) include those items.
Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate the security clearance: Basic Qualifications includes "Must be able to obtain and maintain an active security clearance". Preferred includes "Active DoD secret or higher-level security clearance". Both are distinct; keep both.
Now we need to ensure we include all duties from Job Duties list. Let's extract them precisely.
