Manufacturing Planner, ECLSS & TCS

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about company and role. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "U.S. EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE STATUS" and "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY" as they are EEO boilerplate. Also remove "Additional Requirements" maybe part of Requirements? We'll incorporate. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include company description? Possibly under About the role. The posting starts with description of Vast and then role. So we can put that in About the role section. Responsibilities: list bullet points. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications? Also Additional Requirements? We'll combine. Qualifications: maybe Preferred Skills & Experience? Actually they have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills & Experience. Could treat Minimum Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred Skills & Experience as Skills. Or we could have Qualifications for Minimum Qualifications and Skills for Preferred. We'll follow headings: Requirements (minimum qualifications), Skills (preferred). Benefits: list benefits. Pay: include pay ranges. Schedule: maybe not given? There's mention of full-time, exempt position, location Long Beach. No explicit schedule like hours. Could we infer schedule? Not given. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states it. It does not state schedule specifics, so omit Schedule. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract substantive content: Company description paragraph: "Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy." Then role description: "Vast is looking for an Manufacturing Planner, ECLSS/TCS reporting to the Production Manager,ECLSS/TCS to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. Join the team as we help manufacture the world's first private space station. This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location." We can combine that into About the role. Responsibilities list: bullet points given. Minimum Qualifications: "High school diploma or equivalent", "2+ years experience in manufacturing planning, scheduling, or operations management" Preferred Skills & Experience: list bullet points: "Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams are crucial for success in this role", "Working knowledge of database query and visualization software such as SQL, Tableau, etc.", "Understanding of Quality Management in aerospace manufacturing", "Proficiency in using enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES)", "Committed to continuous improvement and a willingness to embrace new technologies, methodologies, and best practices" Additional Requirements: "Willingness to work late & weekends on an as needed basis to support critical milestones" Pay Ranges: "Manufacturing Planner I: $67,000 - $95,000", "Manufacturing Planner II: $76,000 - $108,000", "Pay Range: California $67,000—$108,000 USD". Also note: "We calibrate level and compensation to the selected candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels to apply." Compensation And Benefits paragraph: "Base salary will vary depending on job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, business needs, and market demand. Salary is just one component of our comprehensive compensation package. Full-time employees also receive company equity, as well as access to a full suite of compelling benefits and perks, including: medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents, generous paid time off; up to 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff and up to 10+ days of vacation for non-exempt staff with the ability to cash-out unused vacation annually, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, ClassPass credits, personalized mental healthcare through Spring Health, and other discounts and perks. We also take pride in offering exceptional food perks, with snacks, drip coffee & onsite barista, cold drinks, and dinner meals remaining free of charge, and lunch subsidized as part of Vast’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality meals for employees." We need to output Benefits section with list. We should not include the EEO or export control. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content: The pay ranges appear also in Compensation And Benefits paragraph; we can keep both but avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep both the pay ranges and the compensation paragraph. However we might combine them under Pay section and Benefits section. The Pay section should contain pay ranges. The Benefits section should contain benefits list. We need to avoid repeating the same sentences verbatim? It's okay if they appear in both sections as long as they are present. But we might want to avoid duplication but it's not prohibited. However better to keep each piece once. We can put pay ranges under Pay section. The compensation paragraph about base salary varying etc. could be part of Pay section as well, but we could also put it under Benefits? It's about compensation. Probably better to include in Pay section: mention base salary varies, plus pay ranges. Then Benefits section list benefits. Thus Pay section:

  Base salary will vary depending on job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, business needs, and market demand. Salary is just one component of our comprehensive compensation package.

  then
  • Manufacturing Planner I: $67,000 - $95,000
  • Manufacturing Planner II: $76,000 - $108,000
  • Pay Range (California): $67,000—$108,000 USD
  But note the Pay Range line duplicates the range; maybe we can keep just the two levels and note that overall range is $67k-$108k. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can keep both. Benefits section: list items. We need to include "Full-time employees also receive company equity". Also list benefits. Let's craft Benefits
  with each benefit as

Benefits list: medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents; generous paid time off; up to 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff and up to 10+ days of vacation for non-exempt staff with the ability to cash-out unused vacation annually; paid parental leave; short and long-term disability insurance; life insurance; access to a 401(k) retirement plan; ClassPass credits; personalized mental healthcare through Spring Health; other discounts and perks; exceptional food perks: snacks, drip coffee & onsite barista, cold drinks, and dinner meals remaining free of charge; lunch subsidized. We could split into multiple
