Power Electronics Engineer III
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for About the role (the introductory paragraph). Responsibilities: present. Qualifications: present. Preferred Skills: present. Benefits: present (they talk about benefits catalog). Pay: present (hiring range). Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; no schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO paragraphs, the "JPL is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove the "The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a federal facility..." etc. Also remove "For further benefits information click Benefits and Perks". Also remove "The hiring range displayed below is specifically for those who will work in or reside in the location listed..." maybe keep pay range but remove surrounding fluff? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the pay range sentence but can we remove the surrounding fluff? The sentence: "The hiring range displayed below is specifically for those who will work in or reside in the location listed. In extending an offer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory considers factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s job related skills, experience, knowledge, and relevant education/training. The typical full time equivalent annual hiring range for this job in Pasadena, California. $133,224 - $158,704". The substantive info is the hiring range. The preceding sentences are somewhat generic but still part of the posting. Are they considered boilerplate? They are not EEO but they are generic statements about hiring range. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Those sentences are not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove, but they are somewhat generic. However they are not substantive detail about the job; they are more about process. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The generic sentences might be considered not substantive? But they are part of the posting. However we could keep them as part of a
under Pay section? The Pay section should contain the range. Could include a short sentence: "The typical full-time equivalent annual hiring range for this job in Pasadena, California is $133,224 - $158,704." That's substantive. The other sentences about factors considered could be omitted as they are not specific to the role? Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to keep only the range. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Pay into a short
. Benefits: they have a paragraph describing benefits catalog. Keep that. Skills: Preferred Skills section. Qualifications: we have qualifications bullet-like paragraph. Could format as
- for each qualification? The qualifications paragraph is a long sentence with multiple items separated by periods. Could split into list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert qualifications into list items. Similarly responsibilities into list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to ensure we don't lose any detail. If we split into list items, we must keep the content.
Let's extract sections:
About the role / Overview: The first paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities:":
"New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL. Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence."
That's substantive. We'll put under
About the role
with a. Responsibilities: after "Responsibilities:" there is a paragraph describing the group and then bullet-like tasks. Let's capture all responsibilities text. From "Responsibilities:" to before "Qualifications:": "JPL’s Power Electronics Group within the Avionics, Power, & Instrument Electronics Section is dedicated to developing power subsystem electronics concepts, implementing power system architecture designs, designing and ensuring implementation of hardware for flight projects, and supporting project formulation and proposals. We are seeking a creative, experienced Power Electronics Engineer III, with expertise in space hardware development and task leadership, to join the group and participate in developing the next generation of space power hardware. The Power Electronics Engineer III will lead power electronics tasks within JPL's Power Electronics Group, taking designs from concept through build, test, and delivery for space flight hardware. This role carries task-level leadership responsibility, including planning and executing budgets and schedules, developing system designs and requirements, and reporting technical progress to Line, Project, and Institutional Management. Candidates should bring several years of hands-on power electronics design and test experience, with a strong preference for prior aerospace or space hardware development. As a Power Electronics Engineer in the JPL Power Electronics Group, you will be designing and testing electronics subsystems and support equipment and will be involved in all aspects of power electronics development from concept to delivery. Tasks include but are not limited to: Participate as part of a subsystem electronics development team and helping with reviews of electronics, electronics test equipment, and test plans.Develop and execute task plans and budgets for power and sensor space flight electronics through development, build, test, and delivery to higher level of integrationDeveloping system designs and requirements for space power systems and power electronics.Design and develop power and sensor electronics for space missions and other high-reliability applications.You'll have responsibility for all documentation related to conceptual development, reliability, structural, and thermal analyses, design drawings, and build, assembly, and test.Report on technical progress, schedule, and budget to Line, Project, and Institutional Management.Developing advanced electronics technology and improving and enabling future missions and supporting the development of mission proposals through expertise in the current state-of-the-practice in space electronics." We need to split into list items. The text includes some run-on sentences without spaces after periods. We'll need to parse manually. Let's break into logical tasks: - Participate as part of a subsystem electronics development team and helping with reviews of electronics, electronics test equipment, and test plans. - Develop and execute task plans and budgets for power and sensor space flight electronics through development, build, test, and delivery to higher level of integration - Developing system designs and requirements for space power systems and power electronics. - Design and develop power and sensor electronics for space missions and other high-reliability applications. - You'll have responsibility for all documentation related to conceptual development, reliability, structural, and thermal analyses, design drawings, and build, assembly, and test. - Report on technical progress, schedule, and budget to Line, Project, and Institutional Management. - Developing advanced electronics technology and improving and enabling future missions and supporting the development of mission proposals through expertise in the current state-of-the-practice in space electronics. Also earlier sentences about leading power electronics tasks, etc. Could be separate responsibilities: - Lead power electronics tasks within JPL's Power Electronics Group, taking designs from concept through build, test, and delivery for space flight hardware. - This role carries task-level leadership responsibility, including planning and executing budgets and schedules, developing system designs and requirements, and reporting technical progress to Line, Project, and Institutional Management. - Candidates should bring several years of hands-on power electronics design and test experience, with a strong preference for prior aerospace or space hardware development. (That's more a qualification, but appears in responsibilities paragraph; maybe treat as qualification.) But we already have Qualifications section. Might be duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could keep that sentence in Qualifications. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we must not lose it. If we put it only in Qualifications, it's preserved. If we also keep it in Responsibilities, it's duplicated. Duplication is to be removed. So we should not duplicate. So we should move that sentence to Qualifications. Thus responsibilities list should include the core duties. Let's compile responsibilities list items: 1. Lead power electronics tasks within JPL's Power Electronics Group, taking designs from concept through build, test, and delivery for space flight hardware. 2. Participate as part of a subsystem electronics development team and help with reviews of electronics, electronics test equipment, and test plans. 3. Develop and execute task plans and budgets for power and sensor space flight electronics through development, build, test, and delivery to higher level of integration. 4. Develop system designs and requirements for space power systems and power electronics. 5. Design and develop power and sensor electronics for space missions and other high-reliability applications. 6. Assume responsibility for all documentation related to conceptual development, reliability, structural, and thermal analyses, design drawings, and build, assembly, and test. 7. Report on technical progress, schedule, and budget to Line, Project, and Institutional Management. 8. Develop advanced electronics technology and improve and enable future missions, supporting the development of mission proposals through expertise in the current state-of-the-practice in space electronics. Check we didn't miss any: The original also had "supporting project formulation and proposals" earlier in group description. That could be a responsibility: "Support project formulation and proposals." Might be covered by #8. But we can add a separate item: "Support project formulation and proposals." However that was in the group description before "We are seeking...". Might be considered part of responsibilities. Let's include. Add: "Support project formulation and proposals." Now Qualifications: we have paragraph: "Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or similar technical discipline with typically a minimum of 6 years of related work experience, a Master’s degree in similar disciplines with typically a minimum of 4 years of related work experience, or a PhD in a similar discipline with typically a minimum of 2 years of related work experience.Deep understanding and experience in Analog, Digital and Mixed-Signal Electronics, Controls, or Power Systems Design, including power control systems.Proven experience in crafting, developing, fabricating, assembly and testing of analog or power electronics hardware.Experience with test software and hardware, particularly using LabView and Python test equipment, including the selection, assembly, and use of electronic bench test equipment.Knowledge of circuit design and board design software associated (Altium and LTspice) with electronics development.Industry and/or academic practices and standards across a range of applications related to the development, testing and integration of electronic assemblies for space applications.Strong communication and interpersonal skills in relating to both internal and external customers.Strong ability to multi-task with an established track record of meeting schedules with milestones.Demonstrated leadership skills and ability to work with fluctuating and competing environments.Must be able to obtain and maintain any required U.S. Government security clearance, and be able to work with export-controlled (ITAR) hardware and technical data, which may require U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency" We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by periods. Let's list: - Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or similar technical discipline with typically a minimum of 6 years of related work experience, a Master’s degree in similar disciplines with typically a minimum of 4 years of related work experience, or a PhD in a similar discipline with typically a minimum of 2 years of related work experience. - Deep understanding and experience
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert qualifications into list items. Similarly responsibilities into list.
We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to ensure we don't lose any detail. If we split into list items, we must keep the content.
