Principal Switchboard Development Engineer

The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and structure it according to the rules: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use

• for lists of duties/requirements/benefits 3. Use

  for prose 4. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading 5. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings 6. Preserve ALL substantive information 7. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions) 8. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it 9. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 10. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 11. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Looking at the job posting, I can identify these sections: - Position Summary (could be "About the role") - Key Responsibilities (multiple sub-sections) - Qualifications (Required and Preferred) - Success Profile The posting doesn't have explicit Benefits, Pay, or Schedule sections (though it mentions "onsite 5-days/week" in the location line, but that's not a formal schedule section). I should not create those sections. Let me structure this: 1. About the role (from Position Summary) 2. Responsibilities (from Key Responsibilities - this has multiple sub-sections) 3. Qualifications (Required and Preferred) 4. Success Profile For Responsibilities, there are several sub-sections: - Technical Leadership and Product Development - Bus Structures and Enclosure Development - Engineering Analysis and Simulation - Certification and Testing - Production Release and Lifecycle Support I could either make these separate h3 sections or keep them as sub-sections under Responsibilities. The instructions say "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't mention sub-sections. But the content has clear sub-sections under Key Responsibilities. I think I should use h3 for the main sections and perhaps use h4 for sub-sections? But the instructions only mention h3. Let me re-read: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It says "e.g." so these are examples. But it says "use

  for section headings". I think I should use h3 for the main sections only, and for sub-sections, maybe use h4 or just strong text? But the instruction says "Output ONLY the HTML fragment" and "use

  for section headings". It doesn't forbid h4. However, to be safe, I'll use h3 for main sections and for the sub-sections under Responsibilities, I'll make them separate h3 sections? That might be too many h3s. Alternatively, I could keep Responsibilities as one h3 and use ul/li for the bullet points, but the sub-sections have their own headings in the original. Looking at the original, "Key Responsibilities" is a heading, then there are sub-headings like "Technical Leadership and Product Development", "Bus Structures and Enclosure Development", etc. Each has bullet points. I think the best is to make each of these sub-sections an h3, since they are distinct responsibility areas. But the instruction says "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It lists "Responsibilities" as an example, not the sub-sections. However, the content is rich and each sub-section is substantial. I'll make each sub-section an h3, but that would mean multiple h3s for responsibilities. That's okay. Alternatively, I could have one h3 "Responsibilities" and then use h4 for sub-sections. But the instruction doesn't mention h4. I think using h3 for each major area is fine. Let me plan the HTML structure:

  About the role

  Global Power Components is seeking a Principal Switchboard Development Engineer to lead the engineering development of its switchboard product portfolio. Working from product requirements established by the business and the market, this role will translate required applications, ratings, performance requirements, and general product layouts into certified, manufacturable, and scalable switchboard products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with responsibility for product architecture, detailed engineering, analysis, validation, certification, and production release. The engineer will serve as the technical lead for switchboard development, with direct ownership of bus structures, electrical enclosures, and the engineering methods used to develop the product.

  Responsibilities

  Technical Leadership and Product Development

  • Lead the engineering development of switchboards from defined product requirements through production release.
  • Translate required applications, ratings, performance objectives, and general product layouts into complete technical designs.
  • Establish the product architecture needed to meet electrical, mechanical, thermal, certification, manufacturing, cost, reliability, and serviceability requirements.
  • Create development plans, engineering requirements, design reviews, technical studies, and engineering documentation.
  • Lead cross-functional technical work across electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, certification, and testing.
  • Serve as the primary technical authority for switchboard product development throughout the product lifecycle.

  Bus Structures and Enclosure Development

  • Own the design and development of switchboard bus structures, joints, supports, bracing systems, service sections, distribution sections, grounding systems, barriers, and electrical enclosures.

  I should not include the location, hire type, company info as headings. The location mentions "onsite 5-days/week" but that's not a formal schedule section. I'll omit it or include in About the role? The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it". I'll drop it. Also, the
