Radar and Optics Applications Staff Assistant
About the role
thenwith that content. Major Duties/Responsibilities: list of duties. Use
Responsibilities
then- items.
Basic Qualifications: list. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to map.
We have Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section (maybe separate Basic and Preferred?). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have a single Qualifications section with both basic and preferred as lists.
Also Special Requirements: Visa sponsorship not available, Q Clearance with SCI, WSAP testing, polygraph. That could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section like Requirements. Could include under Requirements.
Skills: maybe list of skills from qualifications: experience with prototyping RF electronics, AI/ML, RF signature recognition, computational imaging, etc. Could be under Skills.
Benefits: The posting lists many benefits under "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs..." then list of benefits. So we can have Benefits section.
Pay: Not specified explicitly; only says competitive pay but no numbers. According to rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive pay" but no specific. That's vague; maybe we should not include Pay because it's not specific. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "competitive pay" is vague but still a statement? It's not a specific number or range. Likely considered placeholder. Safer to omit Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract each.
About the role: The Overview paragraph(s). Let's combine:
"The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) conducts research, development, and deployment of radar and optics technologies to address national security and other worldwide challenges. Our research and development capabilities include radar and optics technologies, radio frequency (RF) communications, computational imaging, artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML), neuromorphic sensing, video super-resolution, electromagnetics, real-time systems, data mining and analysis, high performance computing, cyber security protection for radar and related training systems, signal processing, and software development. In general, activities involve first-class interdisciplinary research with multiple research groups at ORNL, collaborations with private industry and academic partners across the nation, and mission-specific support for our national security research sponsors. ORNL thrives in a culture of respect, diversity, curiosity, and discovery."
That's substantive.
Responsibilities: The Major Duties/Responsibilities paragraph plus bullet list.
We need to capture the prose before bullet list: "As a full-time Assistant Staff Member, you will support research staff on research projects and provide technical engineering support, technology assessments, engineering analysis, engineering studies, design reviews, and specifications development for upgrading existing radar and optical tracking systems and developing new radar and optical tracking systems for the Department of Energy (DoE) and other government agencies (OGAs). As part of your routine tasks, you may be required to:" Then bullet list items.
We should include that prose as a
then
- for each bullet.
Bullet items:
- Assist in the development and prototyping of radar and optical tracking systems, neuromorphic sensor systems, radar transponders, and advanced sensor fusion technologies
- Apply AI/ML to improve detection and identification of radar and optical tracking systems, or execute radar and optics systems performance tests and analyze the results to influence strategic national security decisions.
- In short, you will help envision, design, develop, test, and deploy radar and optics technologies to support national security needs.
- The position requires development of innovative solutions for general radar and optics challenges and collaboration with other team members for the development of technical demonstrations, proposals, oral presentations, and publications.
- No less important, the interdisciplinary nature of projects demands strong interpersonal skills, evidence of working well in teams, and an expected desire to seek and develop healthy relationships.
- Finally, the position requires a passion for mission-focused National Security challenges.
- Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service.
- Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success.
We need to keep all.
Qualifications: Combine Basic and Preferred.
Basic Qualifications:
- BS, MS or PhD degree with experience in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a science related field.
- Proven experience in radar and optics applications.
- Excellent communication skills for conveying technical material to both scientists and non-scientists in both written and oral presentations.
- Self-disciplined work ethic and eagerness to tackle challenging research problems.
- Strong desire to work in a team environment.
- Ability to obtain a security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with prototyping RF electronics in a lab environment.
- Experience with AI/ML.
- Experience with RF signature recognition and classification algorithms.
- Experience with Computational Imaging and Image Reconstruction techniques.
We could separate Basic and Preferred as subheadings? But only allowed headings list; we could still include subheadings using
? Not specified; but we can keep as separate
or
- with note. Probably better to have two lists: Basic Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications section, each with heading? But we shouldn't create extra headings not in list? The instruction: "Use

We must exclude boilerplate like "This position will remain open for a minimum of 5 days..." etc. Also remove application instructions (file types, email, etc). Also remove EEO statements, etc.
Now construct HTML.
We'll start with

with that info under Qualifications after Preferred Qualifications. Thus we need to add that info. Let's extract that paragraph: "Special Requirements Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.Q Clearance with SCI: This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance from the Department of Energy. As such, this position is a Workplace Substance Abuse (WSAP) testing designated position. WSAP positions require passing a pre-placement drug test and participation in an ongoing random drug testing

Then

for subheadings, but safer to just include as

stating "Basic Qualifications:" and "Preferred Qualifications:" as plain text. We'll do:
