We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation. We need to parse the posting. First, there is an introductory paragraph about Ford Energy, then "Why Ford Energy?" then "In this position..." then "What you'll do..." then "You'll have..." then "Even better, you may have..." then "You may not check every box..." then benefits list, then salary range, then other details like location and travel, etc. We need to map to sections: - About the role: maybe the introductory description of the role? The posting includes "In this position..." and "What you'll do..." which are responsibilities. "About the role" could be a brief overview: "The BESS Product Lifecycle Management Engineer is responsible for the architectural integrity, configuration discipline, and product data control of Ford Energy’s BESS platforms." That is a description. Could be placed under About the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "What you'll do..." bullet points (though they are paragraphs). We need to extract each duty as list items. - Requirements: maybe the "You'll have..." section (mandatory qualifications). That includes Bachelor's degree, 7+ years experience, experience with PLM systems, proven experience in design and release of hardware components, strong understanding of PLM concepts, experience supporting manufacturing or engineering environments, strong communication skills, ability and willingness to travel occasionally. - Qualifications: maybe "Even better, you may have..." (preferred qualifications). Could be separate section Qualifications or Skills? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide where each piece goes. We have mandatory qualifications (Requirements). Preferred qualifications could go under Qualifications or Skills. The "Even better, you may have..." includes Master's degree, utility-scale BESS deployment experience, experience with test labs, software baselining, familiarity with industry standards, background in automotive hardware, basic data management/scripting skills, experience with configuration reporting, KPI tracking, process health dashboards. Those could be Qualifications. Skills: maybe we can extract specific skills like "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Ability to engage technical and executive audiences", "Problem solver", "Technically independent leader", "Mentor", "Safety-first mindset", etc. Those are more like leadership attributes. Could go under Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine some. We also have Benefits: list of benefits after "As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice." includes immediate medical, dental, vision, prescription drug coverage, flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care, family building benefits (adoption, surrogacy, fertility treatments), vehicle discount program, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, paid time off for community service, generous schedule of paid holidays (including week between Christmas and New Year’s), paid time off and option to purchase additional vacation time. Pay: salary range $99,100-$166,200, salary grade 8, note about final determination. Schedule: location and travel: "Flexible location: This position is hybrid-friendly for candidates with a proven ability to deliver results outside of a traditional office environment. Travel expectations: This role may require travel to manufacturing sites, supplier locations, commissioning sites, and customer installations." Also later: "This position is hybrid. Candidates who are in commuting distance to a Ford hub location may be required to be onsite four or more days per week." So schedule/hybrid info. We must not include boilerplate like visa sponsorship, EEO, accommodation phone number, etc. Also remove "For more information on salary and benefits, click here: https://fordcareers.co/GSR". Also remove "Company: As Ford establishes a wholly owned subsidiary..." maybe keep? It's about company but could be considered part of About the role? Might be considered metadata; but it's substantive about the role being initially employed by Ford then transition to subsidiary. Could include in About the role. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format them as lists or paragraphs. We must not create sections with filler text like "commensurate with experience". Ensure each section has real content. We need to decide which sections to include. Potential sections: - About the role: include overview paragraph(s) about Ford Energy and the role's purpose. - Responsibilities: list of duties from "What you'll do..." (multiple bullet-like paragraphs). We'll turn each sentence or clause into

  • . - Requirements: list from "You'll have..." (mandatory qualifications). We'll turn each bullet into
  • . - Qualifications: list from "Even better, you may have..." (preferred qualifications). We'll turn each bullet into
  • . - Skills: maybe leadership attributes and soft skills from "Leadership Attributes" and maybe some from requirements like communication skills. Could combine. But we need to avoid duplication. The "Leadership Attributes" section includes: Hands-on problem solver who thrives in the details of technical data, configuration control, and release management. Technically independent leader capable of driving complex deliverables with minimal supervision. Strong mentor and collaborator who can establish standard work and improve team execution. Safety-first mindset with strong attention to quality, traceability, and serviceability. Trusted business partner to engineering, IT, manufacturing, purchasing, commissioning, and aftersales teams. These are skills/attributes. Could go under Skills. Also we have "Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage technical and executive audiences." That's also a skill. Thus Skills section can include those. - Benefits: list from benefits paragraph. - Pay: include salary range and salary grade note. - Schedule: include location/hybrid and travel expectations. We must ensure we don't create empty sections. Now we need to extract all substantive info and not lose any. Let's extract the text. First paragraph: "Ford Energy is a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company dedicated to accelerating U.S. energy independence. Leveraging Ford’s century of manufacturing excellence and world-class battery energy storage systems (BESS) technology, Ford Energy designs, manufactures, and services grid-scale and commercial DC battery energy storage systems (BESS). Ford Energy is uniquely positioned to capture the growing demand for reliable, US-built energy storage systems. We are not just building batteries; we are building the infrastructure for the next generation of the American grid." Second paragraph: "Why Ford Energy? At Ford Energy, you have the backing of an industrial manufacturing powerhouse with the agility of a dedicated energy startup offering industry leading technology. We offer a competitive compensation package including performance-based bonuses, Ford vehicle discounts, and the opportunity to shape the energy strategy of one of the world's most iconic brands." Third: "In this position... The BESS Product Lifecycle Management Engineer is responsible for the architectural integrity, configuration discipline, and product data control of Ford Energy’s BESS platforms. This role will lead the setup and evolution of Ford Energy’s PLM environment, ensuring that engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, commissioning, and aftersales activities are fully supported through controlled, traceable, and scalable lifecycle processes. You will own the PLM framework that connects design intent to released hardware, manufactured product, field deployment, and serviceability. This role will serve as the lead for Ford Energy around PLM integration and configuration management and will work deeply with commissioning and aftersales teams to ensure project delivery requirements are met. You will interface with internal and external executive-level customers while partnering across IT, manufacturing, quality, and engineering to ensure the product record is accurate, auditable, and release-ready at every stage." Then "What you'll do..." heading (but we should not repeat as heading; we will treat as responsibilities). The content after that: - PLM System Setup and Control Execute PLM setup and governance tasks for Ford Energy BESS programs, supporting the configuration, workflow design, and maintenance of systems such as Siemens Teamcenter, SAP PLM, 3DEXPERIENCE, or similar platforms. Define lifecycle states, access roles, release paths, and data structures to ensure stable, controlled product development and deployment.

Support secure collaboration by enforcing role-based visibility and controlled access to sensitive data. Support data stewardship practices that improve accuracy, accountability, and long-term product record integrity. Then "Leadership Attributes" paragraph. Then "Location and Travel Flexible location: This position is hybrid-friendly for candidates with a proven ability to deliver results outside of a traditional office environment. Travel expectations: This role may require travel to manufacturing sites, supplier locations, commissioning sites, and customer installations."
