Sandia National Laboratories · Albuquerque, NM · 4 wk ago
Engineering$102k–$200k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "About Sandia" (company description) but we should not repeat job title as heading. We need sections: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About Sandia: description of lab, reasons we love our jobs, benefits (flexible work arrangements, vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities). This is benefits and company overview. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company description, not role. Could be placed under "About the role"? Might be better as a paragraph about the organization. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content.
Let's extract:
About the role: The description of what the job will be like: "What Your Job Will Be Like" includes organization, tasks. So we can put that under About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role: summary of role. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
Responsibilities: list of duties: "On any given day, one may be called upon to:" then bullet list items.
Also "This position will include simulation, laboratory, and field-testing operations." and "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite at Sandia laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, including the Flight Dynamics Laboratory. Some travel is required for this position." Could be responsibilities or requirements.
Qualifications: "Qualifications We Require" and "Qualifications We Desire". Also "Skills" maybe from desired qualifications.
Skills: list of desired skills: coursework/experience with navigation sensors, algorithms, programming, etc.
Benefits: from About Sandia: flexible work arrangements, generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities aimed at work/life balance. Also mention that benefits vary by job classification.
Pay: Salary Range $102,400 - $199,700.
Schedule: maybe not explicit; flexible work arrangements mention 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time, telecommuting. That could be schedule. So we can include Schedule section with those details.
We must not include boilerplate: EEO, security clearance details? Security clearance is a requirement (must obtain/maintain DOE Q-level). That's a qualification. We should keep that.
We must not include navigation warfare department description? Could be part of About the role or maybe omitted if not substantive? It's about team; could be included under About the role or maybe omitted. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include it as part of About the role or a separate section like "About the Team". But only allowed headings are those listed; we could put team description under About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to include under About the role as context.
We must not include: Posting Duration, Security Clearance details beyond requirement, Eeo, NNSA Requirements, Job ID, Job Family, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Keep all specifics.

Posting Duration etc to drop.
Now we need to map to sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role: could include company description and role summary? But we have separate "About Sandia" which is company overview. Could be placed under "About the role" as a brief intro. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can have:

Now we need to map to sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role: could include company description and role summary? But we have separate "About Sandia" which is company overview. Could be placed under "About the role" as a brief intro. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can have:
About the role
Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation... (include the bullet points about reasons we love jobs, flexible work arrangements, benefits, etc.)
But we also have "What Your Job Will Be Like" which is more specific role description. Could go under Responsibilities or About the role. Perhaps better to put role summary under About the role, and responsibilities under Responsibilities. Thus: About the role: include Sandia description and maybe the role summary (organization, interest). But we might duplicate. Let's decide: About the role: brief overview of the role and organization: "Organization 05443, Navigation Warfare, is actively seeking a Navigation Warfare Engineer..." plus maybe the Sandia description. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties (the "On any given day..." list) plus simulation/lab/field testing, onsite work, travel. Requirements: maybe the mandatory qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent, ability to obtain/maintain DOE Q-level clearance. Qualifications: desired qualifications (graduate degree, ability to work independently, outstanding verbal/written, etc.) Could be separate from Skills? But we have Skills section for technical skills. Could split: Qualifications for education/clearance, Skills for technical abilities. Skills: list of desired technical skills: coursework/experience with navigation sensors, algorithms, programming, GNSS simulation hardware, experiment design, data analysis, guided R&D, remote field operations, active clearances. Benefits: from About Sandia: flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting), generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities for work/life balance. Also note benefits vary by job classification. Pay: Salary Range $102,400 - $199,700. Schedule: maybe we already covered flexible work arrangements under Benefits; but schedule could be separate: mention 9/80, 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time, telecommuting. However those are also benefits. To avoid duplication, we could put schedule under Benefits or Schedule. The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. We have schedule info (flexible work arrangements). So we can make a Schedule section with those details. Benefits section can include other benefits: vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities. Thus: Schedule: Flexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 (work 80 hours every two weeks, with every other Friday off) and 4/10 (work 4 ten-hour days each week) compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting (a mix of onsite work and working from home). Benefits: Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive
