Principal Engineer, Structural Engineering(Onsite)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: The description about company and role: "At RTX, the world's largest aerospace..." etc. Also "Collins Aerospace is looking for a Principal Structural Engineer..." That's about role. So we can put that in About the role
with paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: The "What You Will Do:" list. That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: There's "U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements:" and also "Qualifications You Must Have:" which is qualifications. The instruction says separate sections: Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what goes where. Typically "Requirements" could be citizenship/immigration and security clearance. "Qualifications" could be education/experience etc. We'll follow that.
Thus:
Requirements
: include citizenship/immigration requirement and security clearance (None/Not Required). Also maybe location? But location is minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. We'll include location maybe in a p after About the role? But instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a p after About the role or maybe not needed. We'll include a short p with location and date posted? Probably okay. - Qualifications: "Qualifications You Must Have:" and "Qualifications We Prefer:" combine? Could separate into Qualifications (must have) and maybe Skills? But we have Skills section optional. We could put must-have under Qualifications, and preferred under Qualifications as well or maybe under Skills. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine must-have and preferred into Qualifications section, maybe with two sub-lists? But we must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have two lists: one for Must Have, one for Preferred. Could still be under same heading. - Benefits: The "What We Offer:" list includes many benefits. So we need Benefits section. - Pay: The salary range is given: "The salary range for this role is 107,500 USD - 204,500 USD." So we need Pay section. - Schedule: There's mention of Onsite role type and description: "Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite." That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, privacy policy, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Learn More & Apply Now!" and application instructions. Also remove "undefined" weird line. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. First, About the role: We'll combine paragraphs from after "Date Posted..." up to before "What You Will Do:" maybe. The text: "Date Posted: 2026-09-03 Country: United States of America Location: US-AL-FOLEY-1300 ~ 1300 W Fern Ave ~ OEM BLDG Position Role Type: Onsite U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements: This job requires a U.S. Person. A U.S. Person is a lawful permanent resident as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) or who is a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, U.S. permanent residents, or individuals granted refugee or asylee status in the U.S. are considered U.S. persons. For a complete definition of “U.S. Person” go here. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-M/part-120/subpart-C/section-120.62 Security Clearance Type: None/Not Required Security Clearance Status: Not Required At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems.

This role will drive meaningful improvements across Engineering Production Support processes by applying a strong understanding of product design, performing detailed structural analyses, and promoting continuous improvement in engineering efficiency, product producibility, quality, and cost reduction." We need to separate metadata (Date Posted, Country, Location, Position Role Type, etc.) into a short p or drop. We'll include a short p with location and date maybe. Then About the role: start from "At RTX, the world's largest aerospace..." to the end of that paragraph before "What You Will Do:". Now Responsibilities: "What You Will Do:" then bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods). We'll convert each sentence into
- . Need to preserve all details.
List items:
- Perform complex structural analyses using hand and computer calculations, including static, fatigue and fracture analysis of aerospace components.
- Define, assess, and document repair designs for metallic, bonded metallic, and advanced composite aerospace structures.
- Work with Materials Review Board (MRB) to develop standard repair instructions.

- Support product development teams by providing defect eradication, producibility, and lessons learned early in the product lifecycle.
- Communicate technical findings, recommendations, risks, and decisions clearly to engineering leadership, customers, and cross functional stakeholders.
Note there is an "undefined" before Communicate? Actually there is "undefinedCommunicate". We'll treat as "Communicate technical findings..." ignoring the undefined.
Now Requirements: citizenship/immigration requirement and security clearance.
We'll write:
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).
- No security clearance required.
We could also include location? but we already have location in metadata p.
Now Qualifications: Must have and Preferred.
We'll combine into one Qualifications section with two subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings besides h3. Could use
to label "Must have:" and "Preferred:" then lists. Better: Use
Qualifications
thenMust have:
then- ... then
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. It doesn't forbid using
for labels. So okay. Must have list: - Typically requires degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum 8 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience. - Strong structural analysis background including static stress analysis and fatigue analysis. - Experience with stress analysis of metallic and advanced composite structures. - Experience using Patran or comparable finite element analysis tools. - Experience performing detail analysis by hand calculations and computer methods. - Experience working effectively across functional boundaries and ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic production support environment. - Experience identifying process improvement opportunities, developing and implementing corrective or improvement actions, and leading continuous improvement projects from concept through execution and implementation. - Must have proficient/advanced Microsoft Office computer skills including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, & Outlook. Preferred list: - Experience working on aircraft modifications and/or repairs. - Airframe/aerospace design and stress analysis experience. - Demonstrated ability to define problems, collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions to address issues of complex scope. - Proactive, action-oriented approach to managing tasks and activities. Now Benefits: list from "What We Offer:" includes many items. We'll extract each benefit as list item. Benefits list: - 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 - Carrot Health to hormonal health, fertility, and family building - 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! (maybe we can include "And more!" as a list item? It's vague; maybe we drop as filler. Better to omit "And more!" as it's not substantive. We'll omit. Now Pay: salary range. We'll put
The salary range for this role is 107,500 USD - 204,500 USD.
Now Schedule: Onsite description. We'll putOnsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance employees, as they are essential to the development of our products. Regardless of your role type, collaboration and innovation are critical to our business and all employees will have access to digital tools so they can work with colleagues around the world – and access to Collins sites when their work requires in-person meetings.
We might also include note about interview in-person etc. That's maybe schedule? But it's about interview process; could be considered schedule? Might be considered metadata. We'll omit as it's not schedule. Now we need to include location/date posted maybe as a short p after About the role? Actually we placed metadata earlier. Let's create a short p after the heading About the
Preferred:
then- ...
But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
