We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Key parts:
- Intro paragraph about GM: "At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility..." This is about GM, could be "About GM" but not required. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for description of role. The description includes "The Role Virtual Propulsion Analysis Engineer responsible for applying advanced analysis..." That's the role description. So we can have an
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Key parts:
- Intro paragraph about GM: "At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility..." This is about GM, could be "About GM" but not required. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading for description of role. The description includes "The Role Virtual Propulsion Analysis Engineer responsible for applying advanced analysis..." That's the role description. So we can have an About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing that.
- Responsibilities: bullet list under "What You'll Do". That's a list of duties. So we need Responsibilities
with - items.
- Requirements/Skills: "Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)" list. That's required qualifications. Could be
Requirements
or Skills
. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose Requirements for required qualifications. Also there is "What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)" which is preferred qualifications. Could be Preferred Qualifications
or Qualifications
. Since we have both required and preferred, we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or Skills for required? Let's follow: Required Qualifications -> Requirements section. Preferred Qualifications -> Qualifications section.
- Benefits: There's a "Benefits Overview" paragraph: "From day one, we're looking out for your well-being..." plus link to Total Rewards resources. That's benefits content. So we can have Benefits
with paragraph.
- Pay: Not mentioned. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: There's mention: "This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}. This job may be eligible for relocation benefits." That's schedule/hybrid info. So we can have Schedule
with paragraph.
- Also there is "About GM" paragraph earlier. Could be a section "About GM" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add About GM as a heading unless we treat it as About the role? But About the role is separate. The intro about GM could be placed under About the role? Might be better to include a short paragraph under About the role describing GM's vision and the role context. However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So we can include a paragraph about GM as part of About the role or maybe as a separate paragraph before sections. Since we need to preserve all substantive information, we should include that intro somewhere. Could put it as a
before the first heading, or include it under About the role heading. The heading "About the role" expects description of the role, not company overview. But we could still include company overview as part of About the role? Might be okay. However we could also add a heading "About GM" but it's not in allowed list; but the instruction says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could also use other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems they want us to use those headings for sections; but they didn't forbid other headings. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should stick to those headings where applicable.
Thus we can have sections: About the role (includes intro about GM and role description), Responsibilities, Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include Pay.
Now we need to extract content.
Let's parse:
Intro: "At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features. Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale."
Then: "The Role Virtual Propulsion Analysis Engineer responsible for applying advanced analysis and simulation tools to support propulsion system architecture development, with emphasis on optimizing vehicle energy consumption (EV range/fuel economy) and performance. Partner with Propulsion System Architects and cross‑functional engineering teams to design, evaluate, and refine propulsion concepts that meet or exceed customer expectations and program requirements."
That's role description.
Then "What You'll Do" list:
- Lead analysis/simulation to define Propulsion System and corresponding component requirements to meet energy and performance VTS & regulatory targets
- Conduct analysis/simulation to quantify effects of advanced propulsion technologies {engine, hybridization, electrification} on vehicle energy consumption, performance, and drivability for various propulsion system configurations
- Support product teams and leadership in defining next generation propulsion systems with analytical evaluation of the proposed architectures & technologies {ICE, HEV, BEV}
- Work collaboratively with propulsion performance engineers and component hardware design teams to develop balanced requirements
- Lead small team of global analysis engineers to ensure analysis plan deliverables meet required virtual analysis plan timing
- Lead the energy consumption, performance analysis to support system project deliverables and conduct trade studies to evaluate design alternatives (quick studies)
- Present analytical results to project/program team and leadership
- Development of new analytical methodologies and standard work procedures
Then "Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)" list:
- BS in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering
- 5+ years’ experience in propulsion engineering
- Proficient in MATLAB and Simulink capability
- Experience with analysis/simulation tools, such as: AMEsim, GT Suite, Unified Model (Verde) or other industry standard energy consumption platforms
- Understanding and application of engineering theory and principles of operation for mechanical/electrical mechanisms
- Knowledge of engineering mechanics, physics, and fundamental understanding of engines, transmissions, drive units, electric motors, power electronics and battery technology
- Appropriate interpersonal styles and communication methods to work effectively with business partners to meet mutual goals
- Independent thinking and strong teamwork skills are needed to succeed
Then "What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)" list:
- M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
- Experience in testing, development, calibration pertaining to energy consumption and performance
- Experience with system analysis and applying systems engineering methods
- Experience in powertrain and/or vehicle controls
- Knowledge of applied optimization and design of experiments
Then: "GM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role. Do not apply for this role if you will need GM immigration sponsorship now or in the future. This includes direct company sponsorship, entry of GM as the immigration employer of record on a government form, and any work authorization requiring a written submission or other immigration support from the company (e.g., H1-B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc)." This is boilerplate/legal; we should remove per instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So drop that.
Then: "This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}. This job may be eligible for relocation benefits." That's schedule/hybrid info.
Then: "About GM Our vision is a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion and we embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer and more equitable for all." That's about GM.
Then: "Why Join Us We believe we all must make a choice every day – individually and collectively – to drive meaningful change through our words, our deeds and our culture. Every day, we want every employee to feel they belong to one General Motors team." That's also about GM/culture.
Then: "Benefits Overview From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions. Learn how GM supports a rewarding career that rewards you personally by visiting Total Rewards resources." That's benefits.
Then: "Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunities (U.S.) General Motors is committed to being a workplace that is not only free of unlawful discrimination, but one that genuinely fosters inclusion and belonging...." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
Then: "Applicants in the recruitment process may be required, where applicable, to successfully complete a role-related assessment(s) and/or a pre-employment screening prior to beginning employment. To learn more, visit How we Hire." That's application instructions; remove.
Then: "Accommodations General Motors offers opportunities to all job seekers including individuals with disabilities. If you need a reasonable accommodation to assist with your job search or application for employment, email us or call us at 1-800-865-7580. In your email, please include a description of the specific accommodation you are requesting as well as the job title and requisition number of the position for which you are applying." That's accommodation info; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but still maybe considered application instructions? It's about accommodation; could be considered relevant but likely considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Accommodations is not exactly application instructions but could be considered part of application process. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove application instructions. Accommodations is about how to request accommodation; that's part of application process. I'd remove it.
Thus we keep: intro GM vision, role description, responsibilities list, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits overview, schedule/hybrid info, About GM vision (maybe duplicate). Actually we have GM vision twice: first paragraph after "Job Description At General Motors..." and later "About GM Our vision is a world with Zero Crashes...". They are similar but not identical; first paragraph is longer about product teams redefining mobility etc. The second is short vision statement. We should preserve all substantive information, not duplicate. We could combine them under About the role or maybe a separate About GM section but not in allowed headings. Could include both under About the role as company overview. That would be substantive.
Thus About the role section will contain:
- Paragraph about GM product teams redefining mobility (first paragraph)
- Then maybe a short sentence about vision? Actually the vision statement is also about GM; we could include it as part of same paragraph or separate paragraph.
- Then the role description paragraph: "The Role Virtual Propulsion Analysis Engineer responsible for applying advanced analysis and simulation tools..."
We must not repeat the job title as a heading; we already have heading About the role. Inside we can include the role description.
Now Responsibilities: list as above.
Requirements: list required qualifications.
Qualifications: list preferred
Requirements
orSkills
. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose Requirements for required qualifications. Also there is "What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)" which is preferred qualifications. Could bePreferred Qualifications
orQualifications
. Since we have both required and preferred, we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or Skills for required? Let's follow: Required Qualifications -> Requirements section. Preferred Qualifications -> Qualifications section. - Benefits: There's a "Benefits Overview" paragraph: "From day one, we're looking out for your well-being..." plus link to Total Rewards resources. That's benefits content. So we can haveBenefits
with paragraph. - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: There's mention: "This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.

with paragraph. - Also there is "About GM" paragraph earlier. Could be a section "About GM" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add About GM as a heading unless we treat it as About the role? But About the role is separate. The intro about GM could be placed under About the role? Might be better to include a short paragraph under About the role describing GM's vision and the role context. However the instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it."
