Principal Engineer, Software Engineering Life Cycle (Onsite)

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Key parts: - Date Posted: 2026-09-17 (maybe metadata, can be minor metadata folded into short p or drop). Probably drop. - Country: United States of America (metadata) - Location: US-IA-CEDAR RAPIDS-105 ~ 400 Collins Rd NE ~ BLDG 105 - Position Role Type: Onsite - U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements: U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract. - Security Clearance Type: None/Not Required - Security Clearance Status: Not Required - Collins Aerospace description: "Collins Aerospace is a leader...". This is about the company; maybe part of About the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company description under About the role. - The Digital Engineering Methods, Process & Adoption Software Solution team mission description. - "This is the PERFECT position for a Principal Level Software Engineer with a strong background in DevSecOps, Software Lifecycle Development (Requirements, Development, Test, Certification). Someone who can serve as the focal subject matter expert in all aspects related to Software Solution LifeCycle Pipelines." - "Join our team to help bring world class engineering automation into our organization!" - "What You Will Do" list: bullet points. - Qualifications You Must Have: description. - Qualifications We Prefer: list. - What We Offer: benefits list. - Salary range: "The salary range for this role is 107,500 USD - 204,500 USD." - Additional benefits mention: "Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits, including but not limited to, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays." This duplicates benefits but we can include. - Relocation eligibility: "May be eligible for relocation" - Application window etc: not needed. - EEO boilerplate: remove. - Privacy Policy etc: remove. We need to avoid duplication. We'll produce sections: - About the role: include company description and team mission. - Responsibilities: the "What You Will Do" bullet list. - Requirements: maybe the U.S. citizenship requirement and security clearance? Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: combine "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer"? The instruction says we can have Qualifications section. Could separate Requirements vs Qualifications? Usually Requirements are mandatory qualifications. We'll put mandatory under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications (or Skills). But we have also Skills section. We could put preferred experience under Skills. Better: Use Requirements for mandatory qualifications (degree, experience, lifecycle). Use Skills for preferred technical skills (DevSecOps, tools, scripting, AI, etc). Benefits section for benefits. Pay section for salary range. Schedule maybe not present (no schedule info). So omit Schedule. We must not create empty sections. Let's extract: Mandatory qualifications: - Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) unless prohibited by local laws/regulations and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience - Experience in all aspects/phases the software engineering product lifecycle to include all phases of certification. - U.S. citizenship is required (as only U.S. citizens authorized to access information under this program/contract). Also maybe security clearance none required but we can note. We could also include location? Not needed. Preferred qualifications (Skills): - Experience with DevSecOps. - Experience with: GitLab, Git, CMake, MinGW, LynxOS, Coverity, Artifactory, Docker, Vista. - Experience with scripting languages: Python, Robot, Lava. - Experience with SW Harness Testing and Adaption (PySMART, Rapitest, Etc..) - Experience with AI technology for automation enhancements. - Experience in detailed technical writing for solution adopters. - Experience with Agile development life cycle and best practices. Responsibilities (What You Will Do): - Lead in the implementation of new capabilities for our SW Cert DevOps and Common Test pipelines. - Optimize existing Software Solution capabilities. - Work across teams and departments to enable rapid onboarding of the Cert DevOps technology. - Mentor, train and onboard teammates. - Be expected to be a self-starter, able to multitask and manage unplanned events. - Use organizational skills to keep track of everything. - Use effective communication skills to keep engineering peers, leadership and customers up to date. - Use problem solving, decision making, and teamwork skills to support the team mission. Benefits: From "What We Offer": list includes: - Medical, dental, and vision insurance - Three weeks of vacation for newly hired employees - Generous 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds and separate employer retirement contribution, including a Lifetime Income Strategy option - Tuition reimbursement program - Student Loan Repayment Program - Life insurance and disability coverage - Optional coverages you can buy: pet insurance, home and auto insurance, additional life and accident insurance, critical illness insurance, group legal, ID theft protection - Birth, adoption, parental leave benefits - Ovia Health, fertility, and family planning - Adoption Assistance - Autism Benefit - Employee Assistance Plan, including up to 10 free counseling sessions - Healthy You Incentives, wellness rewards program - Doctor on Demand, virtual doctor visits - Bright Horizons, child and elder care services - Teladoc Medical Experts, second opinion program - And more! - May be eligible for relocation Also later: "Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits, including but not limited to, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays." We can combine but avoid duplication. We'll list a comprehensive set. Pay: - Salary range: 107,500 USD - 204,500 USD. Schedule: none. Now produce HTML. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We must not include markdown fences. We'll output something like:

  Pay

  The salary range for this role is 107,500 USD - 204,500 USD.

  We should not include Schedule section. Check for any duplicated content: we included benefits from both sections; we kept a comprehensive list but may have duplicates like medical/dental/vision appears only once. Good. We omitted location metadata etc. We included U.S. citizenship requirement. We omitted security clearance mention (none required) - not needed. We omitted date posted etc. We omitted "Position Role Type: Onsite" maybe could be included under About the role? Not required but could be minor metadata. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Could add a short p about role type Onsite. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add a sentence: "This is an onsite position located at 400 Collins Rd NE, BLDG 105, Cedar Rapids, IA." That includes location. That's substantive? It's location
