Instrumentation Manager

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Apply by September 4, 2026..." etc. Also remove "Please submit a cover letter..." etc. Also remove "Details on benefits can be found at Benefits by Location - Aura Human Resources". Also remove "Salary Range: $155,000-$187,000 per year." That is pay info, we can include Pay section. Also "AURA offers an excellent benefits package including paid time off and retirement plan contributions, competitive salary commensurate with experience, and a very attractive work environment." That's benefits but includes "competitive salary commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? It says "competitive salary commensurate with experience" which is vague; we should not include placeholder? The rule: 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. The phrase "competitive salary commensurate with experience" is placeholder; we should avoid including that as content. However we have specific salary range: $155,000-$187,000 per year. That's concrete. So Pay section can include that. Benefits: we have "paid time off and retirement plan contributions". That's specific enough. Also "excellent benefits package". Might be okay. We'll include Benefits section with those specifics. Also we have Work Environment & Physical Requirements: could be under maybe "Work Environment" but not in list of allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content accordingly. "About the role" could be introductory paragraph describing role. "Responsibilities" list essential functions. "Requirements" list degree and experience. "Qualifications" maybe preferences? Could separate. "Skills" maybe abilities. "Benefits" as described. "Pay" salary range. "Schedule" maybe work schedule? Not given explicitly; we have occasional travel, periodic work at high elevation, regular travel between Boulder and Maui. Not a schedule like full-time/part-time. Might not include Schedule if no specific schedule info. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated; we should omit Schedule section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". In benefits we have "competitive salary commensurate with experience" which is filler; we should not include that phrase. We'll extract only concrete benefits: paid time off, retirement plan contributions. Also maybe "excellent benefits package" is vague; maybe we can keep as it's not filler? It's somewhat generic but not prohibited phrase. Might be okay. Safer to include only concrete: paid time off, retirement plan contributions. Also "AURA offers an excellent benefits package including paid time off and retirement plan contributions". We'll keep that sentence. Now we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Intro paragraph about DKIST, NSO, AURA, hiring DKIST Instrumentation Manager. That's about the role. Essential Functions list (many bullet-like sentences). We'll turn into

• for Responsibilities. Requirements: "Degree in engineering, physics, astronomy or other relevant field, or equivalent experience. 10+ years of experience with managing complex science projects, including preparation and management of performance, budget, schedule and risk. Experience preparing and coordinating technical procurements of varying scale ($K - $M) Experience managing teams of engineers and technicians. Ability to apply project management practices and relevant project management tools. Familiarity with Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) tools and the development of instrumentation maintenance plans Excellent organizational skills and good written and verbal communication skills. Experience with managing development and/or operations of telescope and instrument systems, or systems of similar nature and complexity Familiarity with astronomical observatories and observing practices. Ability to speak and write effectively in English, including preparation of comprehensive reports Basic computer skills" Preferences: "Advanced degree in engineering, physics, astronomy or other relevant field, or equivalent experience. Experience in the development or support of astronomical instrumentation. Experience and interest in ground-based observational solar research and science analysis" Work Environment & Physical Requirements: "Primarily office-based with extended computer use Occasional lifting (up to 25 lbs) Periodic work at high-elevation observatory site (~10,000 ft) Frequent communication and collaboration with team members Ability to work at 10,000’ elevation, sometimes during inclement weather, is required. There will be occasional working at height utilizing fall protection equipment, ladders and scaffolding. Regular travel between Boulder, CO and Maui, HI. Occasional domestic and international travel will be necessary. The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." Salary Range: "$155,000-$187,000 per year. The final salary will depend on skills, qualifications and experience." Benefits: "AURA offers an excellent benefits package including paid time off and retirement plan contributions, competitive salary commensurate with experience, and a very attractive work environment. Details on benefits can be found at Benefits by Location - Aura Human Resources" We should omit the "Details on benefits can be found..." as it's a reference/link; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate but it's a pointer; we could keep but it's not substantive. Probably drop. Now we need to map to sections. About the role: introductory paragraph(s) about DKIST, NSO, AURA, hiring DKIST Instrumentation Manager, location Boulder, reporting lines. Responsibilities: essential functions list. Requirements: the mandatory requirements (degree, 10+ years, etc.) Qualifications: maybe preferences? Or we could treat preferences as Qualifications. Skills: maybe abilities like organizational skills, communication, etc. But we already have many skills in requirements. To avoid duplication, we could split: Requirements = degree and experience; Qualifications = advanced degree, experience in instrumentation, interest in solar research; Skills = organizational skills, communication, project management tools, CMMS, etc. However the instructions say prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine into fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including degree, experience, preferences, skills), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. But we must use headings only for those sections that have real content. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Omit Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" in Benefits. We'll rephrase benefits sentence to exclude that phrase. We'll keep: "AURA offers an excellent benefits package including paid time off and retirement plan contributions." That's concrete. Now we need to preserve all substantive info: we must not lose any info. Let's check if any info is lost by omitting Qualifications/Skills sections. We'll embed those details into Requirements section. That's okay as long as we preserve all info. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "The NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), operated by the National Solar Observatory (NSO), is the world’s largest and most advanced solar telescope, designed to help answer fundamental questions about our Sun and its complex magnetic fields. DKIST, which completed construction and began operations in November 2021 on the summit of Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii, is a major program within the NSO. The NSO, an NSF national research and development center dedicated to solar science, is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). AURA, a consortium of 49 U.S. institutions and 3 international affiliates, operates world-class astronomical observatories. Its role is to establish, nurture, and promote public observatories and facilities that drive innovative astronomical research. We are hiring a DKIST Instrumentation Manager who will be responsible for managing major upgrades of existing DKIST instrumentation and for the implementation of new instrumentation developments. The Instrumentation Manager works with and takes direction from the Program Scientist for Instrumentation to establish and implement instrumentation program priorities. The Instrumentation Manager manages a team of engineers and technicians that accomplish prioritized instrumentation tasks. The Instrumentation Manager also works with the Instrumentation Operations Manager on the implementation of upgrades and new developments for the telescope on the summit. The Instrumentation Manager functionally reports to the DKIST Program Scientist for Instrumentation. This position will be located at the NSO headquarters in Boulder, Colorado." That's all substantive. Now Responsibilities: list essential functions as bullet points. We need to capture each essential function sentence. Let's list them: - Lead a team of engineers and technicians to develop and implement major upgrades to the current suite of operational DKIST instruments. - Work in close collaboration with the DKIST Program Scientist for Instrumentation to implement new instrumentation concepts to meet DKIST future science mission needs. - Work with the Instrumentation Operations Manager on the implementation of new instrumentation initiatives on the summit. - Manage resources and delegate instrumentation tasks and as required. - Develop program plans for new instrument development projects involving all relevant stakeholders. - Manage instrumentation project performance using appropriate systems, tools and techniques (e.g., Atlassian Confluence and JIRA). - Ensure instrument projects are executed within schedule, scope and budget. - Maintain project documentation, manage instrument vendor contracts, and manage project risk. - Communicate regularly with the Program Scientist for Instrumentation and DKIST Management about project progress, changes, issues, and solutions. - Provide regular updates on program status, including schedule and budget. - Maintain effective communication with other DKIST operations teams. - Coordinate work, schedules and resources within the instrumentation team and other DKIST operations teams. - Adhere to established safety and other pertinent DKIST guidelines and procedures. - Responsible for ensuring compliance with government award terms and conditions assigned to this position or subordinates of this position. - Perform other duties as assigned. Now Requirements: combine degree, experience, preferences, skills. We need to include all bullet points from Requirements and Preferences and also skills like organizational skills, communication, project management tools, CMMS, etc. Let's list them: - Degree in engineering, physics, astronomy or other relevant field, or equivalent experience. - 10+ years of experience with managing complex science projects, including preparation and management of performance, budget, schedule and risk. - Experience preparing and coordinating technical procurements of varying scale ($K - $M). - Experience managing teams of engineers and technicians. - Ability to apply project management practices and relevant project management tools. - Familiarity with Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) tools and the development of instrumentation maintenance plans. - Excellent organizational skills and good written and verbal communication skills. - Experience with managing development and/or operations of telescope and instrument systems, or systems of similar nature and complexity. - Familiarity with astronomical observatories and observing practices. - Ability to speak and write effectively in English, including preparation of comprehensive reports. - Basic computer skills. - Advanced degree in engineering, physics, astronomy or other relevant field, or equivalent experience. (Preference) - Experience in the development or support of astronomical instrumentation. (Preference) - Experience and interest in ground-based observational solar research and science analysis. (Preference) We could keep them all as bullet list under Requirements. Now Benefits: bullet list maybe. - Paid time off. - Retirement plan contributions. - Excellent benefits package (maybe we keep as phrase). But to avoid filler, we can keep "excellent benefits package" as it's not prohibited phrase.
