Jr., Mid, Sr. RF Communications Test Engineer *
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Requisition Number: 29973 (metadata, not heading)
- Required Travel: 11 - 25% (but later says Travel 10-20% in responsibilities; we need to preserve travel info. Travel is part of responsibilities? Could be a separate Schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but maybe part of responsibilities. We'll include travel info in Responsibilities or maybe a separate "Travel" but not required heading. We'll include in Responsibilities as a bullet.
- Employment Type: Full Time/Hourly/Non-Exempt (maybe schedule? Not schedule; could be included in a short paragraph under maybe "About the role"? Not required heading. We'll include in a paragraph.
- Anticipated Salary Range: $79,316.00 - $202,722.00 (Pay). Also later they give Jr., Mid, Sr. ranges. We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes they have salary range. So we create Pay
with details.
- Security Clearance: TS/SCI (also Minimum Secret clearance required to start, must obtain TS/SCI). This is a qualification/requirement.
- Level of Experience: Mid
- About the role: description of Warfare Systems etc.
- Leadership Mindset at HII – Mission Technologies Role Leadership... This is about leadership capabilities; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not a standard heading; we could include under About the role.
- Job Description: Huntington Ingalls Industries, Mission Technologies is currently seeking an RF Communications Test Engineer... location etc.
- Jr. RF Comms test engineer - $79,300 - $113,300 etc. This is salary details per level; we can include in Pay.
- Essential Job Responsibilities: list of bullet points.
- Minimum Qualifications: list.
- Preferred Requirements: list.
- Physical Requirements: list.
- Benefits: later they talk about competitive benefits: medical, dental, vision, wellness resources, employee assistance, 401(k), financial planning tools, life insurance, employee discounts, paid holidays and PTO, tuition reimbursement, scholarships, bonus/other non-recurrent compensation occasionally offered. So we have Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly given besides Full Time/Hourly/Non-Exempt. Could infer schedule is full-time. But we should only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does state Employment Type: Full Time/Hourly/Non-Exempt. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that.
- Also there is "Anticipated Salary Range" and then later Jr/Mid/Sr ranges. We'll include Pay.
- Also there is "Required Travel: 11 - 25%" and later "Travel 10-20%" in responsibilities. We'll include travel in Responsibilities.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is RF Communications Test Engineer (maybe Jr/Mid/Sr). Not to repeat.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold into short p.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact etc. Remove those lines.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific numbers, years, etc.
We need to format using for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include:
- About the role (maybe "About the role"): includes description of Warfare Systems, HII mission, leadership mindset, location, etc.
- Responsibilities: Essential Job Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Requirements? But we have headings Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use based on content.
We have Minimum Qualifications (experience, education, clearance, etc.) and Preferred Requirements (programming, FPGA, satellite comms, masters). Also Physical Requirements.
We could have:
- Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (including education, experience, clearance, etc.)
- Skills: Preferred Requirements (programming, FPGA, etc.) plus maybe technical skills like MATLAB, Excel, analytical, problem-solving, technical writing, communication.
- Requirements: maybe Physical Requirements? Or we could treat Physical Requirements as a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings but we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these.
We can put:
- About the role: description of company, location, leadership mindset.
- Responsibilities: essential job responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (experience, education, clearance) plus Physical Requirements? Might be okay.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Requirements? Or we could swap.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: Minimum Qualifications are required; Preferred Requirements are preferred. Could put Required under Qualifications, Preferred under Skills. Or Required under Requirements, Preferred under Skills. The headings are flexible; we just need to use them when we have content.
We'll decide:
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (including experience, education, clearance, etc.)
- Qualifications: Preferred Requirements (programming, FPGA, satellite comms, masters) plus maybe also mention "Strong background in analyzing RF communication systems" etc. But those are also in Minimum Qualifications. Hmm.
Better: Use Requirements for the list of minimum qualifications (experience, education, clearance). Use Qualifications for the list of preferred requirements (programming, FPGA, masters, etc.). Use Skills for the list of skills like MATLAB, Excel, analytical, problem-solving, technical writing, communication.
But we need to ensure we don't lose any info.

Leadership Mindset description: we can include in About the role.
Now we need to output HTML fragment.
We'll start with a
for metadata like Requisition Number, Employment Type maybe? But we already have Schedule section for Full Time/Hourly/Non-Exempt. We could put Requisition Number in a short p at top.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We'll produce:
Requisition Number: 29973
Then About the role
with paragraphs describing Warfare Systems, HII mission, leadership mindset, location.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can split into multiple elements.
Let's craft About the role content:

We need to keep the bullet list of capabilities? The text includes them as a sentence with dash separated. We'll keep as is.
Now Responsibilities: list of essential job responsibilities.
We'll create
Responsibilities
then - each bullet.
Bullets:
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) on RF communication systems, providing technical guidance for test and evaluation activities.
- Conduct independent and detailed satellite communications link budget analysis to predict and validate end-to-end system performance; independently research and estimate relevant performance parameters.
- Analyze RF signal paths and system geometry, with a focus on space vehicle orientation and pointing angles.
