Mechanical Engineering Co-op (Winter/Spring 2027)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Date posted, location, role type, citizenship, clearance requirements: these are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with location, role type, clearance requirement. - The posting includes a narrative: "Are you ready to explore..." etc. That's about the role. - "What You Will Do" section: responsibilities. - "What You Will Learn": could be considered learning outcomes, maybe under Responsibilities or a separate section like "What You Will Learn" but not in allowed headings. Could treat as part of Responsibilities or maybe as a separate "Skills" section? The allowed headings are limited; we can put learning under Responsibilities or maybe under Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. Thus: - About the role: introductory paragraph about RTX, Collins Aerospace, opportunity. - Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" bullet list. - Requirements: citizenship, clearance, maybe also "U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements". Also maybe "Must be pursuing Bachelor's or Advanced degree..." That's qualifications though. Actually qualifications are separate: "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer". So Requirements could be citizenship/clearance; Qualifications could be education/skills. - Skills: maybe list Solidworks, ANSYS, etc. - Benefits: "What We Offer" includes values, relocation eligibility, benefits list (medical, dental, etc). Also mention 401(k) match, etc. Also mention incentive compensation programs. - Pay: salary range 37,000 USD - 82,000 USD. - Schedule: maybe not given; role type is Onsite. Could include schedule? Not explicit. Could omit Schedule section if no specific schedule info. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay is given, so include Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, privacy policy, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content: - Location: US-TX-RICHARDSON-462 ~ 3200 E Renner Rd ~ RENNER BLDG 462. Role type: Onsite. - Citizenship: U.S. citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain US govt security clearance required; Security Clearance Type: DoD Clearance: Secret; Security Clearance Status: Active and existing security clearance required after day 1. - About the role: "Are you ready to explore the world of aerospace and defense? Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world. Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX." - What You Will Do: bullet list (actually paragraph with sentences). Let's list: * participate in the design, development, and test of electronic equipment and integration kits for communication systems on military aircraft and transportable platforms. * learn to work closely with fellow Mechanical Engineers as well as Systems, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering staff to assure defined requirements are consistently met in all phases of a product’s lifecycle. * With technical supervision, apply research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems. * Work with engineers and designers to produce models for components, parts, subassemblies, and assemblies. * With technical oversight, execute tests for systems, subsystems, and components. * Analyze test results in relation to design or rated specifications and test objectives. * Communicate effectively in a cross-functional team. - What You Will Learn: bullet list: * Collaboration in a multi-disciplinary team to create successful designs. * How to follow appropriate design, safety, and qualification standards in development programs. * Documentation of development, analysis, and test data. * Processes associated with the various phases of the product development cycle. - Qualifications You Must Have: * Must be pursuing Bachelor's or Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related STEM major and actively enrolled through completion of internship/co-op session. * Experience with Solidworks or similar 3D CAD software. * Experience with ANSYS or other mechanical analysis software. * Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects. - Qualifications We Prefer: * Must have a minimum of 60 hours of credit by the start of the internship session. - What We Offer (values and benefits): * Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation. * Relocation Eligibility Learn More & Apply Now! (maybe not needed) * Benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays. * Specific benefits dependent on business unit and collective-bargaining agreement. * Hired applicants may be eligible for annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs depending on level and collective-bargaining agreement; payments not guaranteed. - Pay: salary range 37,000 USD - 82,000 USD. - Schedule: Not given; role type Onsite but no schedule details.

Responsibilities
- Participate in the design, development, and test of electronic equipment and integration kits for communication systems on military aircraft and transportable platforms.
- Learn to work closely with fellow Mechanical Engineers as well as Systems, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering staff to assure defined requirements are consistently met in all phases of a product’s lifecycle.
- With technical supervision, apply research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems.
- Work with engineers and designers to produce models for components, parts, subassemblies, and assemblies.
- With technical oversight, execute tests for systems, subsystems, and components.
- Analyze test results in relation to design or rated specifications and test objectives.
- Communicate effectively in a cross‑functional team.
What You Will Learn
? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could still add other headings but maybe not needed. Safer to incorporate learning into Responsibilities or maybe under Skills? But learning is not skill. Could add a separate section "What You Will Learn" but not in list; risk of being considered non-compliant. I'd incorporate into Responsibilities as additional bullet points.
Thus responsibilities bullets include the learn points.
Now Requirements section: citizenship and clearance.
Requirements
U.S. citizenship is required. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government‑issued security clearance is required; an active Secret clearance must be held from day 1.
Qualifications section: education and experience.Qualifications
- Pursuing a Bachelor's or Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM major; must remain actively enrolled through the internship/co‑op session.
- Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software.
- Experience with ANSYS or other mechanical analysis software (experience may be gained via coursework, research, projects, or on‑the‑job).
- Preferred: minimum of 60 credit hours completed before the internship start.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
- Short‑term and long‑term disability.
- 401(k) match.
- Flexible spending accounts.
- Flexible work schedules.
- Employee assistance program.
- Employee Scholar Program.
- Parental leave, paid time off, and holidays.
- Eligibility for annual short‑term and/or long‑term incentive compensation programs (payments not guaranteed).
Pay
Salary range: $37,000 USD – $82,000 USD (good‑faith estimate).
Schedule: Not provided; we could omit. We also need to include maybe a short paragraph about location/role type/clearance at top. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, privacy policy, etc. Now output HTML fragment only. Check for any repeated content: ensure we didn't miss any substantive info like "Relocation Eligibility Learn More & Apply Now!" - that's not substantive; we can drop. Also "This role is a U.S.-based role. If the successful candidate resides in a U.S. territory, the appropriate pay structure and benefits will apply." That's substantive? It's about pay structure for territories; maybe we can include in Pay or Benefits as a note. Could add a sentence in Pay: "If the candidate resides in a U.S. territory, the appropriate pay structure and benefits will apply." Might be worth preserving. Also "RTX anticipates the application window closing approximately 40 days from the date the notice was posted." That's metadata about application; could drop as minor. Also "As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid or remote." That's about interview process; maybe minor. We should preserve all substantive information; but we can drop minor metadata like application window, interview process details
