ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually we have Company Description, Summary Job Description, Responsibilities, Skills, Knowledge, And Abilities, Qualifications, Additional Information (Why Join Seek Thermal?). We must not repeat job title as heading for job title. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Remove boilerplate etc. The posting includes company description, summary, responsibilities (multiple bullet-like paragraphs), skills, qualifications, additional information (why join). No explicit Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections, so we omit them. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include company description as a paragraph under maybe "About the company"? But heading must be from allowed list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those as examples, but we can use other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. The posting has Company Description, Summary Job Description, Responsibilities, Skills..., Qualifications, Additional Information (Why Join). We could map Company Description to "About the role"? Not exactly. But maybe we can use "About the role" for summary job description. Company description could be a paragraph before any heading? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. It doesn't forbid other headings besides those examples, but says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we need to map content to those sections. We have: - About the role: could include Company Description + Summary Job Description. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Skills: Skills, Knowledge, And Abilities. - Qualifications: Qualifications. - Additional Information: Why Join Seek Thermal? Could be placed under maybe "Benefits"? But Benefits section only if posting actually states them. The "Why Join" includes some benefits/values but not explicit benefits like health insurance etc. It's more about culture. Could we treat it as a section? Not in allowed list. Could we omit? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The "Why Join" is substantive. But we don't have a heading for it in allowed list. Could we use "About the role" to include that? Might be okay to add a custom heading like "Why Join Seek Thermal?" but the instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We could incorporate the "Why Join" content into a paragraph under "About the role" or maybe under "Qualifications"? Probably under "About the role" as part of role description. Thus sections: About the role (includes company description + summary + why join), Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Responsibilities is a list of duties; we should make each bullet a
    • . Skills is also a list; we can make
      • . Qualifications also list. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text exactly (or close) but can format as list items. Let's extract content. Company Description: "Join Seek Thermal – See the Unseen. Shape What’s Next. At Seek Thermal, we’re changing the way the world sees heat. Our innovative thermal imaging technology brings visibility to the unseen, empowering professionals and consumers to measure, detect, and visualize heat — transforming how people work, protect, and explore." Summary Job Description: "Under the direct supervision of the Master Scheduler and Inventory Control Manager, the Planner/Scheduler develops and coordinates internal and subcontract build schedules to ensure production and development deadlines are met. This role is integral to the Planning and Supply Chain team, supporting a range of planning and scheduling activities, and works closely with the Director of Wafer Management to ensure subcontract execution aligns with the overall build plan. The position operates in a manufacturing environment, supporting Materials, Production, Engineering, Project Management, Sales, and Quality." Responsibilities: there are several paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they are headings: Scheduling & Build Planning, Subcontractor & WIP Management, Materials & Inventory, Continuous Improvement & Reporting. Under each heading there are sentences. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can turn each sentence into a list item, or keep headings as part of list items? Probably better to keep each bullet as a sentence; we can keep the heading as part of the bullet text. Let's list them: Scheduling & Build Planning: - Develop, monitor, and prioritize internal and subcontract build schedules based on need date and capacity, addressing obstacles that could impact on-time delivery - Schedule subcontract processes (wafer processing, routing, wire bonding) to support build plans - Identify capacity limitations and communicate them to management to ensure plans remain achievable - Manage daily transactions in the MRP system to maintain system integrity and alignment Subcontractor & WIP Management: - Communicate with subcontractors on schedules, priorities, and serial number tracking - Manage the flow of inventory and WIP between Seek and outside processing vendors, including daily tracking across multiple external suppliers - Identify potential WIP bottlenecks and develop recovery plans - Coordinate and expedite the flow of parts, sub-assemblies, and materials to work areas to meet production schedules and customer commitments - Manage defective material by scheduling second runs or following up on dispositions Materials & Inventory: - Communicate supply chain shortages and their urgency to Purchasing and Manufacturing - Analyze inventory variances and follow up on corrective actions to avoid stock-outs or excess materials - Manage consumable inventory, including ongoing review of re-order points - Support shipping and receiving to ensure inventory is properly transacted Continuous Improvement & Reporting: - Identify and execute continuous improvement activities - Maintain and update manufacturing reporting tools Skills, Knowledge, And Abilities: List items: - Solid fundamental understanding of MRP principles, manufacturing workflow, capacity planning, and supply chain - Complete understanding of assigned products, with emphasis on scheduling constraints - Knowledgeable of production requirements relating to processes, machines, and people - Ability to make decisions and evaluate constraints within the production plan - Ability to coordinate several projects simultaneously - Able to interface tactfully and proactively across departments — especially Manufacturing, Purchasing, Sales, and Engineering — and with multiple external suppliers - Able to communicate and present analyses, insights, and recommendations clearly, tailoring the message to different audiences - Understanding of ERP systems (NetSuite a plus) and multi-layer BOMs - Proficient with MS Excel and Smartsheet - Detail-oriented, with a focus on quality, accuracy, and precision Qualifications: - Minimum of three (3) years' experience in an electro-mechanical assembly production environment - Minimum of two (2) years' experience in planning/scheduling preferred - Bachelor's degree preferred but not required Additional Information (Why Join Seek Thermal?): Paragraph: "You'll join a high-performing, collaborative accounting team where you'll have the opportunity to build a broad accounting skill set while learning from experienced team members. Our team values accuracy, accountability, continuous improvement, and working together to get things done well. We encourage people to ask questions, bring forward ideas, and understand the why behind their work. As Seek Thermal grows, we want this role to grow with it. Our goal is to provide the mentorship, experience, and increasing responsibility needed to develop into a well-rounded accounting professional." Note: This mentions accounting team, but role is Planner/Scheduler; maybe a mismatch but we keep as is. We need to embed this under About the role maybe as a paragraph. Thus final HTML:
