Photonic Engineering Co-Op (2027)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: use

for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: - Intro paragraph about Battelle, mission, interns etc. That's likely "About the role" or maybe "About Battelle". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings. We need to include sections only if there is real content. Let's identify content: - Job Summary: Battelle is seeking a Photonic Engineering Intern/Co-Op for Spring and/or Summer 2027. This position is 100% onsite located in Columbus, OH. Battelle's Advanced Microsystems Solution group, in our National Security Global Business, is currently seeking someone with knowledge of photonics and optics with a background in photonics modeling, simulation, fabrication, and device testing. This individual will support technical analyses, design, modeling, simulation, and testing capabilities for novel technology applications. Application deadline: October 23rd, 2026 - Responsibilities: bullet list (Support model development..., Assist component selection..., Facilitate translation..., Support development..., Write reports...) - Key Qualifications: list of must-haves (currently pursuing degree, at least two years college coursework, 1+ years experience in PIC design, simulation, layout, testing; coursework in engineering; sound understanding of optical physics; experience in simulation using tools; experience in layout tools; proficiency in python; knowledge of electromagnetics, semiconductor devices, materials science; experience within design, analysis, manufacturing of photonic devices; solid verbal/written communication; able to work independently/team; positive attitude; working knowledge of Microsoft Office; must be sole US Citizen with ability to obtain & maintain government security clearance.) - Preferred Qualifications: list (Experience with Python driven simulation flows; Experience in design and construction of measurement & data acquisition systems; Experience developing requirements and testing procedures; Experience testing integrated photonic devices; Related work experience (paid or unpaid) is preferred) - Compensation Data: salary range $20-$40 per hour, plus $2000 housing stipend for students relocating >50 miles; internship pay benchmarked. - Preparing You for Career Success: paragraph about internship program, stats, opportunities to thrive, culture, flexible work schedules, hybrid arrangement, Employee Resource Groups, networking events, philanthropic involvement. - Vaccinations & Safety Protocols: paragraph about vaccinations, accommodations. - Equal opportunity employer statement: boilerplate, should be removed. - The above statements... legal disclaimer: maybe remove as boilerplate. - For more information... link: maybe remove as navigation. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we should keep: Intro (maybe as About the role), Job Summary (maybe part of About the role), Responsibilities, Key Qualifications (maybe as Requirements or Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications (maybe as Skills or additional Qualifications), Compensation Data (Pay), Preparing You for Career Success (maybe Benefits or Schedule?), Vaccinations & Safety Protocols (maybe Benefits? but it's about safety, could be part of Benefits? but we have Benefits heading; we could include safety under Benefits? However instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. Benefits: we have housing stipend, flexible work schedules, hybrid arrangement, Employee Resource Groups, networking events, philanthropic involvement. That's benefits. Also vaccinations & safety protocols maybe not a benefit but could be part of Benefits? Might be better as a separate section like "Safety & Vaccinations" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map content to these. We need to decide which sections to include. - About the role: could contain introductory paragraph about Battelle, mission, intern impact, job summary, location, deadline. - Responsibilities: the bullet list. - Requirements: could be the "Must be currently pursuing..." etc (Key Qualifications). Could also include citizenship requirement. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both headings allowed. We could put Key Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications or Skills. - Skills: maybe list of specific technical skills (simulation tools, layout tools, python, etc). But we already have those in qualifications. Could separate. - Benefits: housing stipend, flexible work schedules, hybrid arrangement, Employee Resource Groups, networking events, philanthropic involvement, maybe also vaccinations & safety protocols? Not exactly benefit but could be included. - Pay: salary range and housing stipend (though stipend also benefit). But we can put salary range under Pay, and mention housing stipend under Benefits. - Schedule: flexible work schedules, compressed work schedule every other Friday off, hybrid arrangement 60% in-office 40% remote, Monday Tuesday common in-office days. That's schedule. Thus we need to output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Ensure each has substantive content. Let's extract content precisely. About the role: - "For brilliant minds in science, technology, engineering and business operations, Battelle is the place to do the greatest good by solving humanity’s most pressing challenges and creating a safer, healthier and more secure world. At Battelle, interns and co-ops make an impact through hands-on learning and exciting and challenging projects.

Battelle's Advanced Microsystems Solution group, in our National Security Global Business, is currently seeking someone with knowledge of photonics and optics with a background in photonics modeling, simulation, fabrication, and device testing. This individual will support technical analyses, design, modeling, simulation, and testing capabilities for novel technology applications. Application deadline: October 23rd, 2026" We can combine. Responsibilities: bullet list: - Support model development and simulation activities for investigating integrated optical circuit design for applications in sensing and quantum optics. - Assist component selection and design for passive and active photonic devices and circuits including components like waveguides, couplers, splitters, resonators, phase shifters, and interferometers, as well as selection of suitable sources and detectors. - Facilitate translation of design intent to layouts for photonic structures, and work with manufacturing teams to support device fabrication. - Support development and operation of photonic device measurement systems, processing collected data to validate design hypotheses. - Write reports of methods used and results obtained.

But we already have those in Requirements. Maybe we can put technical skills under Skills: simulation tools, layout tools, python, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. However instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? But we should not repeat same info unnecessarily? It didn't say to avoid duplication, but we should not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's present in original? The original has both Key Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could put Key under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications, and maybe Skills could be omitted if no distinct content. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. If we don't have distinct Skills content beyond what's already covered, we could omit Skills section. However we have allowed headings; we can omit Skills if no specific content. Let's see if there is any explicit "Skills" section in posting: not really. So we can skip Skills. Benefits: - $2,000 housing stipend for students relocating more than 50 miles from home and university. - Flexible work schedules: Most teams follow a flexible, compressed work schedule that allows for every other Friday off. - Enjoy enhanced work flexibility, including a hybrid arrangement: You have options for where and when you work. Our Together with Flexibility model allows you to work 60% in-office and 40% remote, with Monday and Tuesday as common in-office days, dependent on team and position needs. - Employee Resource Groups that help cultivate an inclusive and welcoming community - Social and professional networking events with Battelle Senior Leadership and your colleagues - Opportunities for philanthropic involvement to give back and make an impact in the community Also maybe vaccinations & safety protocols: but that's not a benefit; could be considered under Benefits? Might be better to include under Benefits as "Vaccinations & Safety Protocols" but not typical. However we could include a separate section for Safety but not allowed heading. Could we put under Benefits? It's not a benefit but a requirement. Might be better to omit? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The vaccinations & safety protocols paragraph is substantive. Where to put? Could be under Benefits? Not ideal but maybe we can create a section "Benefits" and include that as part of benefits? It's not a benefit but a condition. However we could also put under "About the role"? Not appropriate. Could we create a new heading? Not allowed per instruction: only use those headings. So we must fit it somewhere. Perhaps we can put under "Benefits" as "Vaccinations & safety protocols (if applicable)". It's still information about the job. It's okay. Pay: - The salary range for this role is $20.00 – $
