We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO paragraph, NNSA MedPEDs maybe not boilerplate? It's specific but maybe considered legal? It's about security requirements for MedPEDs; it's somewhat specific but could be considered legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The NNSA MedPEDs is legal/security requirement; might be considered legal boilerplate? It's specific to MedPEDs; but it's still a legal requirement. Safer to remove it as it's legal. Also remove the Security Clearance paragraph? That is also legal but it's substantive about clearance requirement; it's a requirement (U.S. citizenship, clearance). It's important to keep? The posting includes "Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship" under qualifications. The security clearance paragraph repeats that. Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. However the instruction says remove legal boilerplate. The security clearance details might be considered legal. But the requirement to have clearance is substantive. However we already have that in qualifications. The paragraph includes extra details about drug test, background review, etc. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep only the qualification about clearance and not the paragraph. We'll drop the Security Clearance paragraph.
Also remove "Posting Duration" maybe not needed? It's metadata about posting length; not essential job description. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not about job. Might drop.
Also remove "About Our Team" and "About Sandia" maybe considered boilerplate? They describe the organization; could be considered relevant but maybe not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include About the team as a section? It's not a standard heading but we could treat as "About the team" maybe not needed. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph describing what the job will be like.
- Responsibilities: the list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe the qualifications we require (minimum requirements). Could be "Requirements" heading.
- Qualifications: maybe the desired qualifications (preferred). Could be "Qualifications" heading.
- Skills: maybe the desired qualifications include skills like programming, analytical, communication. Could be separate Skills section.
- Benefits: maybe the About Sandia paragraph includes benefits (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, etc). That's benefits.
- Pay: the Salary Range paragraph.
- Schedule: maybe the expectation to work full time onsite for duration of summer experience. That's schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, NNSA MedPEDs, security clearance paragraph, posting duration.
We must preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive info:
