We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: Summary paragraph: "Join Spectrum Control as a Mechanical Engineer I and contribute..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Also there is "Work Environment" but not a listed heading; we could maybe put under "About the role" or maybe "Work Environment" not in allowed headings; we should not create extra headings. So we can incorporate work environment details into About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes summary and work environment.
Responsibilities: list of job functions (Design and modify..., Support..., Apply..., Create..., Assist..., Create..., Participate..., Collaborate..., Support..., Assist..., Take ownership...). Those are duties. So we can put under Responsibilities.
Requirements / Qualifications / Skills: The posting has "Skills And Qualifications" with bullet list of qualifications. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (technical). But we can combine into one section maybe "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have one section "Qualifications" that includes education, experience, skills, etc. Or we could have "Requirements" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: Use "Qualifications" as heading, include all bullet points.
Benefits: posting mentions "competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment." Also "most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend." That's schedule info. Also "competitive wages" but no specific pay. Benefits: mention PTO, benefits begin day 1. So we have Benefits section content. Pay: not specific; only "competitive wages" but no number. According to rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says competitive wages but not a number; that's vague. Should we include Pay? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "competitive wages" is vague but still states that wages are competitive; maybe that's enough? It's not a specific number but it's a statement about pay. The rule says "unless the posting actually states them." It does state competitive wages, so we could include Pay section with that statement. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "competitive wages" is not exactly filler but still vague. I'd lean to include Pay section with that statement.
Schedule: posting says "most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend." That's a schedule statement. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have "competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment." Also maybe mention benefits begin day 1. So Benefits section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: Summary paragraph: "Join Spectrum Control as a Mechanical Engineer I and contribute..." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Also there is "Work Environment" but not a listed heading; we could maybe put under "About the role" or maybe "Work Environment" not in allowed headings; we should not create extra headings. So we can incorporate work environment details into About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes summary and work environment.
Responsibilities: list of job functions (Design and modify..., Support..., Apply..., Create..., Assist..., Create..., Participate..., Collaborate..., Support..., Assist..., Take ownership...). Those are duties. So we can put under Responsibilities.
Requirements / Qualifications / Skills: The posting has "Skills And Qualifications" with bullet list of qualifications. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (technical). But we can combine into one section maybe "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have one section "Qualifications" that includes education, experience, skills, etc. Or we could have "Requirements" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: Use "Qualifications" as heading, include all bullet points.
Benefits: posting mentions "competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment." Also "most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend." That's schedule info. Also "competitive wages" but no specific pay. Benefits: mention PTO, benefits begin day 1. So we have Benefits section content. Pay: not specific; only "competitive wages" but no number. According to rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says competitive wages but not a number; that's vague. Should we include Pay? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "competitive wages" is vague but still states that wages are competitive; maybe that's enough? It's not a specific number but it's a statement about pay.

Schedule: posting says "most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend." That's a schedule statement. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have "competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment." Also maybe mention benefits begin day 1. So Benefits section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each.

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, third-party recruiters, etc. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer..." and third-party recruiter text. Also remove "Work Environment" heading? We'll incorporate its content into About the role.
We need to ensure we don't include any application instructions.
Let's extract content.
About the role: summary paragraph: "Join Spectrum Control as a Mechanical Engineer I and contribute to the design of embedded systems, rack-mounted power distribution units, and integrated microwave assemblies.

Benefits: "competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment." Also maybe mention "most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend." That's schedule, not benefit. So Benefits: competitive wages, PTO, benefits begin day 1.
Pay: "competitive wages" (maybe we already used that in Benefits). But we need separate Pay section if we include. However we might avoid duplication. The rule: we should not repeat info. If we put competitive wages in Benefits, we could still have Pay section with same statement? Might be redundant. Better to put competitive wages in Pay section, and Benefits section mention PTO and benefits begin day 1. Schedule section mention 4-day,10-hour work schedule.
Thus:
