We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About Castelion (company description) but not "About the role". There's a "Position Overview". We can treat that as "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings if present. The posting includes: Position Overview (could be About the role). Key Outcomes for 2026 (maybe part of Responsibilities or Qualifications). Key Responsibilities (list). Education Required Qualifications (Education). Experience (Experience). Technical Skills (Skills). Preferred Experience (maybe part of Skills or Qualifications). Soft Skills (maybe Skills). Leadership Qualities (maybe Skills). ITAR Requirements (maybe Requirements). Benefits: "All employees are granted long-term stock incentives... All employees receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance, and the company offers four weeks of paid time off per year." That's benefits. Pay: not mentioned. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role (from Position Overview), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe combine Education Required Qualifications, Experience, ITAR Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe Education Required Qualifications?), Skills (Technical Skills, Preferred Experience, Soft Skills, Leadership Qualities), Benefits (the benefits paragraph). We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We should remove the EEO paragraph (the long one about competence and qualifications not influenced...). Also remove ITAR Requirements? That is substantive (citizenship requirement). It's a requirement, so keep under Requirements. Also remove the "All employees are granted long-term stock incentives..." that's benefits, keep. Remove the "All employees receive access to comprehensive medical..." that's also benefits. Keep.

We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into each section.
About the role: Use Position Overview paragraph(s). There's also "Key Outcomes for 2026" maybe part of responsibilities or about role? Could be part of About the role? But we have a Responsibilities section for key responsibilities. Key Outcomes could be placed under Responsibilities as part of responsibilities? Or maybe under About the role as goals. But we should not duplicate. Let's put Position Overview in About the role. Key Outcomes for 2026 could be placed under Responsibilities as they are outcomes/deliverables. But we already have Key Responsibilities list. Might be better to put Key Outcomes under Responsibilities as a separate list? However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for Key Outcomes. But we need to decide if we create a separate section for Key Outcomes? Not in allowed headings. Could fold into Responsibilities as part of responsibilities. So we can include Key Outcomes as part of Responsibilities list (maybe as bullet points). But we must preserve all detail; we can include them as bullet points under Responsibilities.
Responsibilities: Should include Key Responsibilities list (the bullet points after "Key Responsibilities") plus Key Outcomes for 2026 (maybe as bullet points). Also maybe "Lead warhead-to-vehicle integration activities..." etc. We'll combine.
Requirements: Should include Education Required Qualifications (Bachelor's or Master's...), Experience (8+ years..., 4+ years..., Demonstrated leadership...), ITAR Requirements (citizenship). Also maybe "Preferred Experience" is not a requirement but preferred; could go under Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat Preferred Experience as part of Skills or Qualifications? The heading "Qualifications" could contain Education and Experience? But we already have Education Required Qualifications and Experience. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate Requirements and Qualifications sections. Typically Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = maybe education/experience? But we have both Education Required Qualifications and Experience. Could put Education under Qualifications, Experience under Requirements? Or combine. Let's think: The posting has "Education Required Qualifications" and "Experience". Then "Technical Skills", "Preferred Experience", "Soft Skills", "Leadership Qualities". So we can map:
- Qualifications: Education Required Qualifications (Bachelor's/Master's)
- Requirements: Experience (8+ years, 4+ years, Demonstrated leadership) + ITAR Requirements
- Skills: Technical Skills, Preferred Experience, Soft Skills, Leadership Qualities
But we also have "Key Outcomes for 2026" maybe part of Responsibilities.
Benefits: the benefits paragraph.
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections as they are not present.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract text.
About Castelion paragraph: "Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We're designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts."
