Mechanical/Fluids Engineer (any level)
for each section. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: Application Close Date, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Special Mentions" maybe incorporate into About the role? It says: Special Mentions Relocation available Up to 25% travel required between facilities and for field operations from the Kent, Washington location Interviews will include a technical assessment. That's substantive; we can include in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Additional Details". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put travel/relocation under About the role or maybe under Requirements? Probably About the role includes mission etc. We'll add a paragraph about relocation/travel/technical assessment.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications. Or we could treat Requirements as both min and pref? Better to follow typical: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we can extract skills from responsibilities? But we have no explicit skills section; we could omit Skills if no specific content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if not explicitly present. However we have skills like "Ability to create and interpret engineering drawings and P&IDs", "Excellent written and verbal communication skills". Those could be under Skills. But they are also in Minimum Qualifications. Might be okay to put them under Requirements. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications, we can put the minimum qualifications under Requirements, and preferred under Qualifications. Skills section maybe not needed.
Benefits: we have benefits list.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
Now we need to extract content.
About the role: includes vision statement, New Shepard program description, role description summary, special mentions (relocation, travel, technical assessment). Also maybe "This role is part of the New Shepard program." etc. We'll combine into a few paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To" bullet points.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
Benefits: Benefits list.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point exactly as given (or close). We must not omit any.
Let's extract.
About the role prose:
- "At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion.

We should keep that as is.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role

We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's craft the About the role paragraphs.
Paragraph 1: Vision and mission description.
Paragraph 2: Job Description Summary (maybe multiple sentences). Could be one paragraph.
Paragraph 3: Special mentions (relocation, travel, technical assessment). Could be one paragraph.
We'll combine.
Now check for any duplicated lines: The posting had "Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed." That's boilerplate; we remove.
Also "This position is not for immediate vacancy but is intended to fill anticipated future openings. Applicants who best meet the job requirements will be contacted and considered when a position becomes available." That's also boilerplate? It's substantive about future openings; maybe we should keep? It's about the role being for future openings. It's substantive info. Should we keep? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The statement about future openings is not boilerplate; it's about the role. So we should keep it. Where to place? Could be in About the role or maybe a separate note. We'll add a paragraph after the special mentions.
Also "Culture Statement Don’t meet all desired requirements? ..." That's boilerplate? It's encouraging applicants; maybe considered boilerplate? It's generic EEO-like encouragement. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO legal. It's a culture statement encouraging to apply even if not meeting all qualifications. Could be considered substantive? It's more of a generic encouragement. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is similar to encouragement; maybe treat as boilerplate and remove. Safer to remove.
Also "Export Control Regulations Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum." That's legal requirement; likely boilerplate to remove.
Background Check Required... also boilerplate.
Thus we keep only the substantive parts: vision, role description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, plus future openings note
for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: Application Close Date, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Special Mentions" maybe incorporate into About the role?
