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 that have real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract:
- Requisition Number: 78328 (metadata, can be short p or drop). Not a heading.
- The company built on breakthroughs... (company description). This could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role and maybe company. We'll include a paragraph summarizing company description and role overview.
- "Corning’s Businesses Are Ever-evolving..." list of markets. Could be part of About the role.
- "Corning Incorporated is seeking an Optical Metrology Engineer to join our team in the greater Rochester, NY area. This is a fully on-site role with a standard Monday–Friday day schedule; additional hours may be required during periods of heightened project activity. This role includes approximately 5% domestic and international travel for training, conferences, customer visits, and collaboration with other Corning locations." This includes schedule (Monday-Friday day schedule) and travel info. Schedule section: we can include schedule info. Also location.
- "This role sits at the intersection..." description of responsibilities.
- Then "Key Responsibilities" bullet list.
- Then "Required Qualifications" bullet list.
- Then "Desired Qualifications" bullet list.
- Then "This position does not support immigration sponsorship." (metadata, can be short p).
- Then "The range for this position is $112,902.00 - $155,240.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education." This is Pay info.
- Then "A job that shapes a life. Corning offers you the total package..." benefits description. This includes benefits: company-wide bonuses, long-term incentives, 100% company-paid pension benefit, matching 401(k), health and well-being benefits list, recognition program. So Benefits section.
- Then EEO statement etc (boilerplate) to remove.
- Also note about Proficiency in Excel flagged as required but listed under Preferred Skills — we need to confirm correct placement before finalizing. In Required Qualifications list we saw "Proficiency in Excel (Note: flagged as "required" in source notes but listed under Preferred Skills — confirm correct placement before finalizing)". So we need to decide where to place Excel proficiency. Since it's flagged as required but listed under Preferred Skills, we need to verify. The source says it's flagged as required in source notes but listed under Preferred Skills. We need to confirm correct placement before finalizing. Since we cannot ask, we need to decide based on context: It appears under Required Qualifications bullet list? Actually reading: In Required Qualifications list we saw "Proficiency in Excel (Note: flagged as "required" in source notes but listed under Preferred Skills — confirm correct placement before finalizing)". That seems like a note inside the Required Qualifications bullet list? The text: "Proficiency in Excel (Note: flagged as "required" in source notes but listed under Preferred Skills — confirm correct placement before finalizing)". So it's ambiguous. We need to decide where to place it. Since it's flagged as required, we should place it under Required Qualifications. But the note says it's listed under Preferred Skills in source. However we need to confirm correct placement before finalizing. As we cannot confirm, we need to make a judgment. Probably it's required, so include under Required Qualifications. We'll include it there.
Now we need to output HTML with sections only if they have real specific content.
We have:
- About the role: includes company description, role location, schedule, travel, role intersection description. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list under Key Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications? The spec says we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. We need to decide. We have Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications. Could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, Desired under Qualifications, or combine. The spec: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills separate. We have required and desired qualifications; we could put Required under Requirements, Desired under Qualifications. Skills maybe not separately listed; we have some skills like proficiency in Excel, MATLAB, Python etc. Those are within qualifications. Could create Skills section for technical skills: proficiency in Excel, MATLAB, Python, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Better to keep Requirements (required qualifications) and Qualifications (desired qualifications). Skills maybe not needed.
Thus:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list.
- Qualifications: Desired Qualifications bullet list.
- Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: pay range.
- Schedule: schedule info (Monday-Friday day schedule, additional hours may be required, 5% travel). Could be part of About the role but we have separate Schedule heading allowed. We'll include schedule specifics.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like "approximately 5% domestic and international travel", "standard Monday–Friday day schedule; additional hours may be required during periods of heightened project activity". Also location "greater Rochester, NY area". Also mention "This role sits at the intersection of precision optics and advanced instrumentation — responsible for devising, building, and maintaining the test methods and systems that measure and validate ultra-precise optical assemblies." That's part of About the role.
We need to keep bullet points exactly as given, but we can format as

Benefits paragraph: includes many items. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep as prose
but we could also bullet list benefits. The spec says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So benefits list should be

We should keep these as bullet points.
Pay: The range for this position is $112,902.00 - $155,240.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education.
Schedule: This is a fully on-site role with a standard Monday–Friday day schedule; additional hours may be required during periods of heightened project activity. This role includes approximately 5% domestic and international travel for training, conferences, customer visits, and collaboration with other Corning locations.
Location: greater Rochester, NY area (could be in About the role).
We also have "This position does not support immigration sponsorship." This is metadata; we can include as short p maybe under About the role or separate? It's not a heading; we can include as a short paragraph.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation request, etc.
Now construct HTML.
We'll start with a
for requisition number? Could drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

Then About the role:

However location is also part of role; we could keep location in About the role.
Let's decide: About the role includes company description, role overview, location (greater Rochester, NY area). Schedule heading includes schedule and travel details.
