Intermediate Test Engineer
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 (the page already shows it) and 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.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
The posting includes:
- Benefits: DCCA is a veteran-owned IT business... (some description). Then later: "Our comprehensive benefit offerings include healthcare, retirement plan, paid disability and life insurance programs, employee assistance program, paid and unpaid leave programs, education assistance, and wellness initiatives." Also later: "Empowering Health: DCCA’s benefits which encompass healthcare, paid time off, and flexible 401(k) options encourage you to live a healthy and fulfilling life, both in and outside of work." So we have benefits content.
- Pay: "The proposed salary range for this position in Maryland is 66,536 to 74,222. Final salary will be determined based on various factors." Also earlier: "DCCA is proud to offer career growth opportunities and a competitive compensation and benefits package." Also later: "Competitive Compensation: While salary at DCCA is determined by various factors, we are committed to making sure our salaries reflect the skill and expertise of our employees. In addition, each year we perform an annual salary review ensuring pay is equitable across both the company and industry at large." So we have pay info.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
- About the role: Could be the description of the role: "Intermediate Test Engineer Candidate must have an active Secret Clearance" and description of duties. The KSAs list responsibilities. So we can have sections: Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (maybe years of experience, clearance), Qualifications (maybe four years experience, secret clearance), Skills (KSAs). But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: maybe a brief overview: "Intermediate Test Engineer" role at DCCA, veteran-owned IT business, etc. Could be a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from KSAs (multiple bullet points). Could be a
.
- Requirements: maybe "Four (4) to Seven (7) Years Of Experience", "Active Secret Clearance". Could be a or .
- Qualifications: maybe "Four years experience." and "Clearance Secret". Could be similar to requirements. Might be redundant.
- Skills: maybe the KSAs list also includes skills. But we already used responsibilities for duties; skills could be separate list of abilities like "Performs analysis of documented user requirements..." but that's also duty. Might be overlapping.
Better to follow typical structure: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (experience, clearance), Benefits, Pay.
We need to avoid duplicate content. Let's extract substantive info.
First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We see at end: "Equal Opportunity Employer including Disability/Vets" - that's EEO boilerplate, remove.
Also "Visit our website at:" maybe not needed? It's a minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably drop.
Now gather content:
Opening paragraph: "Benefits DCCA is a veteran-owned IT business specializing in providing innovative solutions to a variety of government agencies and commercial enterprises since 1982. DCCA is proud to offer career growth opportunities and a competitive compensation and benefits package." This is about company.
Then: "For over 40 years, DCCA has provided a broad range of IT services to government agencies and commercial enterprises, helping them to feel confident in their IT infrastructure. With DCCA, these organizations can be confident in the flexibility and skill of their IT partners, allowing them to upgrade their technology quickly and efficiently. Better yet, thanks to DCCA’s successful track record, clients can rest assured knowing DCCA can tackle any problem with ease, allowing them to focus on the work that matters. Internally, DCCA prides itself on a culture built on integrity and inclusivity, allowing its employees to build lasting skills and relationships. As a veteran owned business, DCCA knows the importance of recruiting employees with a wide range of backgrounds, allowing for every problem to be approached by a diverse array of perspectives. Join us and be part of a team that has a people first mentality and a dedication to excellence."
That's about company culture.
Then: "Years Of Experience Four (4) to Seven (7)" - that's a requirement.
Then: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (KSAs)" followed by a list of duties (each sentence ends with a period). Those are responsibilities.
Then: "Qualification Four years experience. Clearance Secret"
Then: "The proposed salary range for this position in Maryland is 66,536 to 74,222. Final salary will be determined based on various factors."
Then: "Our comprehensive benefit offerings include healthcare, retirement plan, paid disability and life insurance programs, employee assistance program, paid and unpaid leave programs, education assistance, and wellness initiatives."
Then later: "Competitive Compensation: While salary at DCCA is determined by various factors, we are committed to making sure our salaries reflect the skill and expertise of our employees. In addition, each year we perform an annual salary review ensuring pay is equitable across both the company and industry at large."
Then: "Growth Opportunities: DCCA makes it a priority to help you grow and support your career advancement. From upskilling programs to recertification support, to professional development opportunities, we’re here to help you grow your career and create lasting relationships."
Then: "Emphasis on Inclusivity: DCCA’s culture emphasizes respect, equity, and opportunity and is supported by an array of business resource groups and other opportunities for connection."
Then: "Empowering Health: DCCA’s benefits which encompass healthcare, paid time off, and flexible 401(k) options encourage you to live a healthy and fulfilling life, both in and outside of work."
Then: "Learn more about our total benefits package on our ." (incomplete, ignore)
Then: "Mission Focused Work: From the defense industry to health IT management, DCCA allows you to work on innovative projects whose outcomes improve people's lives and solve today’s IT problems."
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role: Could combine company overview and mission-focused work? But "About the role" is supposed to be about the role, not company. However we can use it for a brief description of the position: "Intermediate Test Engineer" role, requiring active Secret clearance, 4-7 years experience, performing test plan design, etc. Could be a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from KSAs.
- Requirements: Years of experience (4-7) and active Secret clearance.
- Qualifications: maybe "Four years experience" and "Clearance Secret" (similar). Might be redundant; we could combine into Requirements.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: salary range and statement about competitive compensation.
- Growth Opportunities, Emphasis on Inclusivity, Mission Focused Work: Could be part of About the role or separate sections like "About the company". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put them under About the role as prose.
We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each heading has substantive content.
Let's craft:
About the role
Intermediate Test Engineer position at DCCA, a veteran‑owned IT business serving government and commercial clients since 1982. The role requires an active Secret clearance and 4–7 years of experience, focusing on test planning, execution, and documentation for software/hardware applications.
That seems substantive.
Responsibilities
- Performs analysis of documented user requirements and directs or assists in the design of test plans in support of user requirements for moderately complex to complex software/hardware applications.
- Reviews user application system requirements documentation; designs, defines and documents unit and application test plans; transforms test plans into test cases and/or test scripts and executes those scripts.
- May participate in all phases of risk management assessment and software/hardware development under the direction of a Senior Test Engineer.
- Responsible for ensuring proper execution of test scripts and documentation of test results in test logs or defect tracking systems.
- Responsible for ensuring that the test designs and documentation support all applicable client, agency or industry standards, time lines and budgets.
- Responsible for the development of test data to be used in performing the required tests.
- Responsible that testing conclusions and recommendations are fully supported by test results, and those project managers are fully informed of testing status and application deviations from documented user requirements.
That's from KSAs.
Requirements
- Four (4) to Seven (7) years of relevant experience.
- Active Secret security clearance.
We could also include "Four years experience" from Qualification but it's covered.
Benefits
- Healthcare
- Retirement plan
- Paid disability and life insurance programs
- Employee assistance program
- Paid and unpaid leave programs
- Education assistance
- Wellness initiatives
- Paid time off
- Flexible 401(k) options
We need to ensure we don't duplicate: we have healthcare, retirement plan, paid disability and life insurance, employee assistance, paid/unpaid leave, education assistance, wellness initiatives, paid time off, flexible 401(k). That's from the benefits sections.
We could also include "career growth opportunities" but that's more about growth; maybe we could add a section "Growth Opportunities" but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role or Benefits? Probably better to add a section "Growth Opportunities" but not allowed headings list; we could treat it as part of About the role.
But the instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems they expect those headings. It doesn't forbid other headings, but they gave examples.
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
