We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay, schedule, benefits explicitly. So we should not include those sections.
We have content: Job Summary (maybe "About the role") includes description. Then Responsibilities list. Then Requirements list. Then Preferred Qualifications (maybe Qualifications). Then Work Environment (maybe Skills? Actually Work Environment could be a section but not in allowed headings list; we could put under "About the role" or maybe "Skills"? The allowed headings are limited; we should map content to those headings. The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can only use those headings. We need to decide where to put each piece.
- About the role: could contain the job summary description (the paragraph about leading system-level failure investigations, etc.) plus maybe work environment? But work environment is not a heading; we could embed in About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: the bullet list under "Requirements".
- Qualifications: the "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- Skills: maybe we could extract skills from requirements? But we already have Requirements and Qualifications; Skills could be left out if no specific skills section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if not distinct.
- Benefits, Pay, Schedule: omit as not present.
Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract the substantive content.
Job Summary/JOB DESCRIPTION paragraph:
"The Principal Failure Analysis Electrical Engineer is responsible for leading system-level failure investigations on deployed power systems serving the Communications and Data Center markets. The role provides technical leadership for complex field issues, drives root cause analysis, develops corrective actions, and supports product reliability improvement across Vertiv's installed base. This position works closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, services, suppliers, and customers to resolve high-impact field issues affecting deployed products. The role requires strong technical expertise in electrical design, controls, and system integration, along with the ability to lead investigations where failure mechanisms are unknown or difficult to reproduce."
That's the summary.
Responsibilities list:
- Lead complex system-level failure investigations involving power systems, controls, firmware, electrical hardware, and subsystem interactions.
- Drive root cause analysis activities for field failures using engineering analysis, testing, data review, and structured problem-solving methods.
- Support field investigations through site visits, collection of field data, review of logs, and analysis of failed hardware.
- Develop and execute investigation plans to reproduce field conditions and validate failure mechanisms.
- Work with suppliers, test laboratories, and internal teams to evaluate failed components and identify root causes.
- Prepare and communicate technical findings, corrective actions, and recommendations to internal stakeholders and customers.
- Support customer-facing discussions related to failure analysis activities and corrective actions.
- Provide technical leadership during high-priority customer escalations and field events.
Requirements list:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
- 10+ years of engineering experience in power systems, power electronics, telecommunications power, data center infrastructure, or related industries.
- Experience performing root cause analysis and troubleshooting complex electrical systems.
- Experience with laboratory testing, failure analysis techniques, and engineering investigation methods.
- Strong technical communication and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to travel to customer sites as required.
Preferred Qualifications list:
- Strong understanding of power conversion systems, rectifiers, converters, controls, and system integration.
- Experience with reliability engineering, supplier quality investigations, and field support activities.
- Familiarity with controller-based power systems, firmware interactions, and system diagnostics.
- Experience leading cross-functional investigations involving engineering, quality, manufacturing, and suppliers.
Work Environment paragraph:
"Office, laboratory, manufacturing, and customer site environments. Periodic domestic and international travel may be required. Ability to support field investigations and customer site visits as necessary."
Also mention "The successful candidate will embrace Vertiv’s Core Principals & Behaviors to help execute our Strategic Priorities." Then list of core principles and strategic priorities and behaviors. This is likely boilerplate but maybe considered substantive? It's about company values. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The core principles and strategic priorities might be considered boilerplate but they are part of the job description. However they are generic corporate statements; but they are not EEO etc. Might be considered part of "About the role" or maybe we could include as part of About the role? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could embed that paragraph in About the role as well.
Also "About Vertiv" paragraph describing company. That's likely boilerplate but could be considered About the role? Might be considered company overview; could be included in About the role. However the instruction says remove duplicated lines, legal/EEO etc. The "About Vertiv" is not EEO but is generic company description; might be considered okay to keep as part of About the role. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does that include company description? Probably yes, as it's part of the job posting. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We could include a short paragraph about Vertiv in About the role.
But we must not include sections like "About Vertiv" as a heading; we can embed within About the role.
We also have duplicated lines: "Work Authorization No calls or agencies please..." appears twice; also "Equal Opportunity Employer" appears twice. Those should be removed.
Thus final HTML:

About the role
... (summary + work environment + core principles + about Vertiv?)
But we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to decide how much to include in About the role. Let's craft a concise but comprehensive paragraph that includes: - The role responsibilities summary (the first paragraph). - Work environment: Office, laboratory, manufacturing, and customer site environments. Periodic domestic and international travel may be required. Ability to support field investigations and customer site visits as necessary. - The successful candidate will embrace Vertiv’s Core Principals & Behaviors to help execute our Strategic Priorities. - List core principles: Safety. Integrity. Respect. Teamwork. Inclusion. - Strategic Priorities: High-Performance Culture, Customer Focus, Operational Excellence, Innovation, Financial Strength. - Vertiv Behaviors: Own it, Act with urgency, Foster a customer-first mindset, Think big and execute, Lead by example, Drive continuous improvement, Learn and seek out development, Promote transparent & open communication. - About Vertiv: Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) brings together hardware, software, analytics and ongoing services to enable its customers’ vital applications to run continuously, perform optimally and grow with their business needs.

Headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, USA, Vertiv employs around 34,000 people and does business in more than 130 countries. Visit Vertiv.com to learn more. That is a lot but it's all substantive. However some might consider it boilerplate but it's from the posting. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not those categories. So we can keep.
