We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph: "In this role, you will work with the team that ensures that Penumbra products are approved for use in countries around the world, thereby helping to bring our life-saving technologies to patients worldwide. You will be responsible for the coordination, preparation, and maintenance of document packages for worldwide regulatory submissions."
- Then "What You’ll Work On" with bullet list (actually sentences). That's responsibilities.
- Then "What You Contribute" with bullet list of qualifications/requirements.
- Then "Working Conditions" (maybe schedule? but not schedule specifics). It includes general office and lab environment, willingness to work on site, business travel 10%-30%, exposure, etc. This could be considered "Working Conditions" but not a required heading; we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map.
- Then "Annual Base Salary Range: $90,000 - $125,000 / year" => Pay section.
- Then "We offer a competitive compensation package plus a benefits and equity program, when applicable." Then "What We Offer" with benefits list.
Thus we need sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You’ll Work On), Requirements (maybe combine What You Contribute?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (maybe skills list), Benefits (What We Offer), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe business travel? but schedule not explicit; we have working conditions includes willingness to work on site, business travel 10%-30%; could be schedule? Not exactly schedule like hours. The instruction: only include section if posting has real specific content. Schedule: we don't have explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.

We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific submission types, tasks, etc.
We need to decide how to split content into sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You’ll Work On". That includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll make a
with each duty as - .
- Requirements: maybe education/experience from "What You Contribute": Bachelor's degree... 2+ years experience, etc. Also "Regulatory Medical Device experience preferred". Could be under Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Proven ability to use and apply technical standards..." etc. But that's more skills. Actually "What You Contribute" includes both qualifications and skills. We could split: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = regulatory knowledge; Skills = communication, MS Office, organizational, etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have separate headings allowed. We need to decide based on content.
We have:
"What You Contribute" bullet list:
- A Bachelor's degree in science discipline or related field with 2+ years of experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience
- Regulatory Medical Device experience preferred
- Proven ability to use and apply technical standards, principles, theories, concepts, and techniques.
- Strong oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills
- High degree of accuracy and attention to detail
- Proficiency with MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- Excellent organizational skills with ability to prioritize assignments while handling various projects simultaneously
Thus we could map:
- Requirements: education/experience (first two bullets)
- Qualifications: maybe "Proven ability to use and apply technical standards..." (knowledge)
- Skills: communication, accuracy, MS Office, organizational skills.
But we also have "Understand the Quality System, biocompatibility requirements, Design Control, Medical Device Directive, Essential Requirements, ISO 13485, labeling requirements, Quality System Regulation, Canadian regulations, export requirements, and regulatory requirements of pertinent regions" under responsibilities? Actually that appears after "What You’ll Work On" list? Let's re-check original text:
After the list of duties under "What You’ll Work On", there is a paragraph: "Understand the Quality System, biocompatibility requirements, Design Control, Medical Device Directive, Essential Requirements, ISO 13485, labeling requirements, Quality System Regulation, Canadian regulations, export requirements, and regulatory requirements of pertinent regions". That seems like a knowledge requirement.
Then "Assist in activities (e.g., execution, documentation) related to Field Corrective Actions."
Thus responsibilities include many items.
We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include that knowledge paragraph as part of responsibilities or qualifications.
Better to treat "Understand the Quality System..." as part of Responsibilities (knowledge needed). Or as Qualifications.
Given the headings list, we can create:
- About the role (intro)
- Responsibilities (What You’ll Work On + Understand the Quality System... + Assist in activities...)
- Requirements (education/experience)
- Qualifications (Regulatory Medical Device experience preferred, Proven ability to use and apply technical standards...)
- Skills (communication, accuracy, MS Office, organizational)
- Benefits (What We Offer)
- Pay (Annual Base Salary Range)

About the role
In this role, you will work with the team that ensures that Penumbra products are approved for use in countries around the world, thereby helping to bring our life-saving technologies to patients worldwide. You will be responsible for the coordination, preparation, and maintenance of document packages for worldwide regulatory submissions.
Responsibilities
- Under direct supervision, prepare moderately complex submissions to gain approvals for clinical research, export, and commercial distribution, such as: IDE, 510(k), CE-Mark Technical Dossier, UKCA Mark, other regional Regulatory submissions, non-US Clinical Trial Submission, Shonin, and Certificates to Foreign Government
- Track multiple projects concurrently
- Ensure that existing approvals and documentation are maintained
- Communicate with in-country RA personnel to facilitate global clearance/approvals
- Monitor, research, and obtain information on FDA clearances/approvals of competitors, and proactively share this information with interested parties
- Communicate with regulatory agencies under direct supervision
- Perform reviews with some oversight of design control documents (e.g., engineering protocols, reports, product drawings, etc.), quality system procedures relating to commercialization, labeling (e.g., Instructions for Use, product labels, promotional materials), and risk management to ensure regulatory compliance
- Assist in performing moderately complex research to support strategic planning
- Analyze existing systems and procedures, recommend solutions/improvements, and write or revise Work Instructions and SOPs as needed to support departmental functions and the Quality System
- Understand the Quality System, biocompatibility requirements, Design Control, Medical Device Directive, Essential Requirements, ISO 13485, labeling requirements, Quality System Regulation, Canadian regulations, export requirements, and regulatory requirements of pertinent regions
- Assist in activities (e.g., execution, documentation) related to Field Corrective Actions
Requirements
- A Bachelor's degree in science discipline or related field with 2+ years of experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience
- Regulatory Medical Device experience preferred
Qualifications
- Proven ability to use and apply technical standards, principles, theories, concepts, and techniques.
Skills
- Strong oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills
- High degree of accuracy and attention to detail
- Proficiency with MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- Excellent organizational skills with ability to prioritize assignments while handling various projects simultaneously
Benefits
- A collaborative teamwork environment where learning is constant, and performance is rewarded.
- The opportunity to be part of the team that is revolutionizing the treatment of some of the world's most devastating diseases.
- A generous benefits package for eligible employees that includes medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, short and long-term disability insurance, 401(k) with employer match, paid parental leave, eleven paid company holidays per year, a minimum of fifteen days of accrued vacation per year, which increases with tenure, and paid sick time in compliance with applicable law(s).
Pay
Annual Base Salary Range: $90,000 - $125,000 / year
We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "We offer a competitive compensation package plus a benefits and equity program, when applicable." and "Individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location." That's part of compensation but we already have Pay section; we could add a sentence about total compensation variable. But we should not invent; we can include that as part of Pay section maybe as a . The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that line.
Thus Pay section could have two paragraphs: one for base salary range, another for total compensation variable statement.
Also "We offer a competitive compensation package plus a benefits and equity program, when applicable." That's also part of compensation/benefits. Could be included in Benefits or Pay. Since we already have Benefits section about specific benefits, we could add that line to Benefits as a
before the list.
But we must not duplicate. Let's incorporate.
Thus Benefits section:
Benefits
then a We offer a competitive compensation package plus a benefits and equity program, when applicable.
then with the list.
Also include the line about individual total compensation varying: maybe also in Benefits or Pay. Since it's about compensation, we can put in Pay section after base salary.
Thus Pay: Pay
Annual Base Salary Range: $90,000 - $125,000 / year
Individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location.
Now check for any other substantive info: "Penumbra, Inc., headquartered in Alameda, California, is a global healthcare company..." That's boilerplate about company; maybe considered not required? It's not a duty/requirement/benefit etc. It's company description. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description might be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO. It's about the company. Might be considered substantive? Usually job postings include company overview; but the instruction didn't explicitly say to remove company description. It says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Company description is not those. So we should keep it. Where to place?
