Intern, R&D Undergraduate Summer - Center for Cyber Defenders (CCD), CA Onsite

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What Your Job Will Be Like" which is description. Also "Qualifications We Require", "Qualifications We Desire", "About Our Team", "About Sandia". Also "Salary Range" section but it's vague: says competitive pay rates, pay structure based on credit hours etc, link to chart. It does not give specific numbers, but says "Your pay rate will be determined during the hire process". According to rules: we should include a Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does not give specific salary numbers, just says competitive pay rates and link to chart. Is that considered stating them? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that pay is based on credit hours etc, and provides a link to chart. That is stating pay info, albeit not a specific number. I'd include a Pay section with that info. Schedule: Not mentioned. Benefits: Not specific; they mention benefits in About Sandia but not specific. The rule: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It mentions generous vacation, strong medical etc but that's generic. Might be considered stating benefits. However they say "These benefits vary by job classification." It's still stating that benefits exist. I'd include Benefits section summarizing that. But we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The benefits description is generic but still present. Might be okay. We need headings: Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About the role / What Your Job Will Be Like: description of tasks. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll use

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: maybe we can extract bullet list of duties: "Leverage your skills across numerous domains, including assisting with software/hardware development, data analysis and machine learning, reverse engineering, and machine and network virtualization", "Team with Sandia cybersecurity subject matter experts and fellow interns to solve real-world problems with real-world national security impact", "Become a Sandia Cyber Defender and take the first step toward an impactful career...". Could be responsibilities. - Qualifications: we have "Qualifications We Require" and "Qualifications We Desire". Could combine into Requirements and Desired? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. We could use

Qualifications

for required, and maybe

Desired Qualifications

but not in allowed list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put required under Requirements, desired under Qualifications, and maybe skills under Skills. But we also have a list of desired qualifications with many specific skill areas. Those could go under Skills. Thus: - Requirements: list of mandatory qualifications (currently attending full time, major, GPA 3.0, ability to work up to 40 hrs, US citizenship for clearance). - Qualifications: maybe we could put "Qualifications We Desire" as Qualifications section. - Skills: list of desired skill areas (binary analysis, ML, networking, hardware security, system admin, virtualization, forensics). Could be under Skills. But we also have "About Our Team" and "About Sandia". Those could be under About the role? Or maybe we could add another section like "About the team" but not allowed. Could incorporate into About the role or maybe we could add a section "About Sandia" but not allowed. The instruction: use headings for those specific headings only. It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. Thus we need to decide which headings to include based on content. We have content for: - About the role: we have description of what the job will be like (first paragraph). Could be About the role. - Responsibilities: we have bullet list of duties (leverage skills, team with experts, become defender). Could be Responsibilities. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications. - Qualifications: desired qualifications (GPA 3.5, research experience, intent to pursue grad, etc.) - Skills: list of desired skill areas (binary analysis, ML, networking, hardware security, system admin, virtualization, forensics). - Benefits: we have generic benefits statement in About Sandia (generous vacation, strong medical, etc.) plus mention of benefits vary. - Pay: we have salary range description and link. - Schedule: not mentioned, so we should not include Schedule heading. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not include empty sections. Now we need to format lists with

• . For prose, use

  . We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include the link to pay chart. We need to include the statement about security clearance etc. We need to include the note about HS diploma. We need to include the posting duration? That's minor metadata; could be folded into a short

  or dropped. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at the end with posting duration and maybe job ID? But they said not to put Job ID as heading; we can fold into a short p. However they also said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Posting duration is not boilerplate; it's info about posting. Could keep as a short p. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Posting duration is substantive? It says "This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of three (3) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time." That's substantive. We'll include it maybe under a short p after sections. Also "About Our Team" and "About Sandia" content: we need to preserve that. Where to put? Could be part of About the role or maybe we could add a section "About the team" but not allowed. Could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraphs. Thus About the role section will include the initial description plus the About Our Team and About Sandia paragraphs. But we must not repeat the job title as heading. Now let's extract content.
