Quality Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content to these headings as appropriate. We should not repeat job title. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. No Pay or Schedule because not mentioned. Benefits we have Benefits & Culture section. Also maybe "Qualifications" for education/experience. "Skills" for technical knowledge, leadership & communication. "Responsibilities" for What You'll Do. "About the role" maybe a brief summary? Could use "About the role" as a heading for the Who We Are? Actually "Who We Are" is about company. Could be "About the role" maybe summarizing role. But we can also use "About the role" for a brief overview. However we must not invent filler. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include headings for sections that have content: About the role (maybe a brief intro?), Responsibilities, Requirements (education & experience), Qualifications (maybe technical knowledge?), Skills (leadership & communication), Benefits (Benefits & Culture). Also maybe "Qualifications" vs "Requirements" overlapping. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We could put education/experience under Requirements, and technical knowledge under Qualifications, and leadership/communication under Skills. That seems reasonable.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include all details from Who We Are, What You'll Do (including sub-sections), What You'll Need (education & experience, technical knowledge, leadership & communication), What You'll Gain, Benefits & Culture.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure no fluff.
We'll produce HTML with headings and appropriate - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide how to structure lists: For responsibilities, we can break into bullet points. The posting has many sentences; we can turn each major duty into a
- . Similarly for requirements: education & experience bullet list? Could be a
but better as list.
We must not invent content.

Now produce HTML.
We'll use headings: About the role (maybe combine Who We Are and brief role description?). But we have a lot of content about company; could be "About the role" includes Who We Are and maybe a brief role summary. However we also have Responsibilities section. So About the role could be a short paragraph summarizing the role: "As the Quality Engineer, you'll serve as the site quality leader for AP Emissions Technologies’ new 208,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Apex, NC..." That's actually from What You'll Do. Might be duplication. Better to follow typical structure: About the role (company overview), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Education & Experience), Qualifications (Technical Knowledge), Skills (Leadership & Communication), Benefits (Benefits & Culture), plus maybe What You'll Gain could be under Benefits or separate? Could be "Impact & Contributions" and "Career Growth" could be under Benefits or separate sections like "What You'll Gain". The instruction list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not "What You'll Gain". But we can include a section like "What You'll Gain" if we treat it as Benefits? However they said include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler. They gave examples of section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map our content to those headings. So we need to fit all content into those categories.
Thus:
- About the role: company overview (Who We Are) plus maybe brief role summary? Could include both Who We Are and a short description of role (the first sentence of What You'll Do). But we must not duplicate content. We could put Who We Are under About the role, and then the rest of What You'll Do under Responsibilities.
- Responsibilities: all the duties (What You'll Do) broken into bullet points.
- Requirements: Education & Experience (bullet list).
- Qualifications: Technical Knowledge (bullet list).
- Skills: Leadership & Communication (bullet list).
- Benefits: Benefits & Culture plus What You'll Gain (Impact & Contributions, Career Growth) maybe combined.
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
Now produce HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate lines like "Following receipt of a conditional offer..." etc.
