Principal Specialist, Procurement
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, remove boilerplate: Date Posted, Country, Location, Position Role Type, U.S. Citizen requirement, Security Clearance, etc. Some of those may be relevant: U.S. citizenship requirement is a requirement; we can include under Requirements or Qualifications. Security clearance none not needed.
We need to preserve substantive info: company description, role description (What You Will Do), Qualifications (must have, preferred), Benefits (What We Offer), Pay (salary range), maybe Schedule? Not given. No schedule specifics. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe company overview), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (U.S. citizenship, maybe degree/experience?), Qualifications (must have and preferred), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (What We Offer), Pay (salary range). Also maybe "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer" could be under Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points.
Let's extract content.
Company description: "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. With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world. Collins Aerospace is a leader in technologically advanced, intelligent solutions that help redefine the aerospace and defense industry. With a comprehensive portfolio and deep technical expertise, we help customers meet the demands of the global market. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense."

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; 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!
Pay: "The salary range for this role is 86,800 USD - 165,200 USD."
Also mention: "The salary range provided is a good faith estimate representative of all experience levels." Might be considered part of Pay.
Also mention benefits details 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." This repeats benefits but we can incorporate.
We should not duplicate content; but we need to preserve all substantive info. If we include both benefit lists, we might duplicate some items. However we need to preserve all info; duplication may be okay but better to combine? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid merging similar info, but we should not lose detail. If we combine, we still preserve all details (just not duplicate). That's okay.
We also have U.S. citizenship requirement: "U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract." This is a requirement.
Also "Position Role Type: Hybrid" maybe we could include under About the role? Not a heading but could be a note. However we should not create Schedule section. Hybrid is about work arrangement; maybe we could include under About the role as a sentence.
We also have "Learn More & Apply Now!" which is application instruction; we should remove.
Also "Operations, Supply Chain and EH&S: ..." paragraph about team; that's substantive about role context; we could include under About the role or Responsibilities? It's more about the team and opportunity. Could be part of About the role.
We also have "Collins Aerospace, a RTX company, is a leader ..." repeated; we can keep but avoid duplication.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
