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. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world." That's generic but maybe part of About the role? Could be overview. - Job Overview: description of role. - BU Overview: description of business unit. - Mechanical Center of Excellence description. - Main Responsibilities: bullet points. - Cross-Functional Integration: bullet. - Validation, & Governance: bullet. - Leadership & External Engagement: bullet. - Required Skills/Experience: list. - Nice To Have Skills/Experience: list. - Competencies SET: Strategy, Execution, Talent (for managers) - maybe part of Skills? Could be separate. - Compensation: base salary range. - Total Compensation = Base Salary + Incentive(s) + Benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe combine Job Overview + BU Overview + ME COE description). Responsibilities (Main Responsibilities + Cross-Functional Integration + Validation, & Governance + Leadership & External Engagement). Requirements (maybe education/experience). Qualifications (maybe required skills). Skills (maybe nice-to-have + competencies). Benefits (maybe mention benefits? Not explicit except total compensation includes benefits but not details). Pay (salary range). Schedule (none). So we should not include Schedule if no info. We must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience" but we have actual salary range. That's okay. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. We must not duplicate lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: combine first paragraph and job overview and BU overview and ME COE description. Paragraphs: "At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world." "Job Overview As a Principal Thermal & Multiphysics Engineer in the Mechanical Center of Excellence team, you will lead advanced thermal research, thermal predictive analysis and validation efforts for cutting-edge interconnect systems used in AI data centers, high-performance computing, and next-generation communication infrastructure Your role involves supporting development of novel thermal structures, executing Multiphysics thermal simulations, validating materials, and collaborating cross-functionally to enhance product performance, reliability, and manufacturability. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy and technical depth to define and drive innovation across mechanical platforms—from early-stage PoCs through NPI handoff This role is highly cross-functional, requiring collaboration with structural, electrical, signal integrity, system architecture, manufacturing, and supplier development teams." "BU Overview Consumer, network, and data center applications change at an exponential pace and the Data & Devices (D&D) business unit at TE Connectivity is at the heart of a continuously expanding connected life. Accordingly, we provide responsive, iterative, and fundamentally agile capabilities and conceive, design, and manufacture to support today's demands. Our customers are building the devices and the infrastructure that is redefining what information technology means. Our products push markets and meet the ever-changing needs of the evolving, more connected, data-driven world. We are enhancing how we do business, focusing on the most important things and staying agile and responsive to the needs of a faster, more connected world." "The Mechanical Center of Excellence (ME COE) plays a critical role in shaping the future of thermomechanical design, reliability engineering, and platform-based product development. By integrating advanced mechanical research, simulation, and manufacturability expertise, ME COE empowers faster, more scalable, and more robust innovation across TE’s high-speed connectivity and AI infrastructure portfolios." We can combine into a few paragraphs. Responsibilities: list bullet points from Main Responsibilities, Cross-Functional Integration, Validation, & Governance, Leadership & External Engagement. Let's extract each bullet. Main Responsibilities (looks like a paragraph with semicolons). It includes: - Strategy & Architecture - Lead end-to-end multiphysics simulation strategy and method development for thermal performance of complex electro-mechanical systems (connectors, high-speed I/O, enclosures, power-dense assemblies - Support thermal architecture development, defining heat transfer strategies across conduction, convection, and radiation to meet system-level performance targets. - Influence product and technology strategy, contributing to roadmaps in data centers, high-speed interconnects, and power delivery systems. - Simulation method development & Support on Design Execution for next gen thermal technologies - Translate system-level thermal challenges into physics-based models using FEA/CFD to solve electro-thermal, thermo-mechanical, and fluid-thermal problems under real-world conditions. - Drive thermal design optimization for high-power-density systems, balancing temperature, pressure drop, signal integrity, and manufacturability. - Support material and interface strategies (TIMs, high-conductivity alloys, advanced polymers/composites) to ensure performance and reliability under thermal cycling, aging, and environmental stress. - Establish thermal design standards and best practices, including thermal resistance networks, contact/interface heat transfer, airflow and liquid cooling integration, and thermal distortion/tolerance stack-up effects. - Standardize methodologies and scalable models to enable reusable simulation frameworks, digital twins, and cross-platform design libraries. - Support innovation in next-generation cooling solutions, including liquid cooling, co-packaged optics integration, high-current connector thermal management, and AI-driven optimization. - Cross-Functional Integration - Collaborate with electrical (SI/PI), mechanical, and manufacturing teams to co-optimize system performance, packaging density, and thermal solutions. - Validation, & Governance - Lead thermal model validation and correlation through lab testing (IR thermography, thermocouples, wind tunnel), model calibration, and development of design margins and derating guidelines. - Support design governance and technical reviews (DFMEA, PFMEA), ensuring robust multiphysics considerations in product decisions. - Leadership & External Engagement - Mentor engineers and build domain expertise in thermal sciences, multiphysics simulation, and physics-based design. - Represent the organization externally with customers, industry forums, and standards bodies on advanced thermal challenges. We'll turn each bullet into
  • . Requirements: education/experience: "Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Physics with 12+ years of experience, or Master's with 10+ years of experience, or PhD with 6+ years of experience, or equivalent amount of experience in mechanical product development in connector, electronics, or high-reliability hardware industries." Also maybe "Hands-on experience with mechanical design and modeling using tools such as Creo, SolidWorks, or NX." That's skill but could be under Requirements or Skills. We'll treat as Requirements? The instruction: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where each piece goes. Typically Requirements = education/experience minimum. Qualifications = maybe required skills? Skills = nice-to-have? But we can allocate. Let's assign: - Requirements: education/experience (the degree+years) plus maybe "Hands-on experience with mechanical design and modeling using tools such as Creo, SolidWorks, or NX." and "Expertise in simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or FloTHERM for thermal/structural analysis." and "Proven experience in DFM, DFA, and transition of mechanical designs to high-volume manufacturing." and "Deep understanding of materials science, including polymers, metals, and thermal materials." and "Experience conducting reliability testing: thermal cycling, vibration, drop/shock, and HALT/HASS." and "Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with a focus on root cause analysis and continuous improvement." and "Excellent communication skills to engage with global engineering, operations, and customer teams". Those are required skills/experience. - Qualifications: maybe not needed separate; but we could put "Nice To Have Skills/Experience" under Skills or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have Skills section. We'll put nice-to-have under Skills. - Qualifications maybe we can leave empty or not include if no specific content. Better to omit if no real specific content. We'll see if any content fits Qualifications: maybe "Competencies SET : Strategy, Execution, Talent (for managers)" could be under Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat as Skills. Thus: Sections: About the role (paragraph(s)) Responsibilities (ul) Requirements (ul) - list of required qualifications/experience. Skills (ul) - nice-to-have + competencies. Benefits (maybe we have mention of benefits in total compensation: "Total Compensation = Base Salary + Incentive(s) + Benefits". No detail. Could we create Benefits section? The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits but not details. It says "Total Compensation = Base Salary + Incentive(s) + Benefits". That's a statement that benefits exist but no detail. Is that enough to create a Benefits section? It says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that benefits are part of total compensation, but no specifics. I'd argue it's stating benefits exist, but not details. Might be considered stating them (just mention). However the instruction also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Benefits would be thin (no detail). Safer to omit Benefits section. Pay: we have salary range: "$154,100 – $231,100 (subject to change dependent on physical location)" plus note about ranges. That's substantive. So include Pay section with that info. Schedule: none -> omit. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    for each section. We must not include markdown fences. Let's craft. About the role: maybe two paragraphs: first the TE intro, then job overview + BU overview + ME COE. We'll combine into

    elements. Responsibilities:

    • ... each bullet. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information from responsibilities. Let's list each bullet as separate
