We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. We need to include sections: About the role (maybe description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe specific skills). Benefits (maybe benefits). Pay (pay range). Schedule (maybe not present). We must not create sections with filler. Let's extract content. Posting text: "Description General program information and/or position overview. We are seeking an exceptional and motivated Research Engineer interested in pursuing their passion by working side-by-side with world experts as a research scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) Pittsburgh site. In this role, you will work as part of Leidos’s leading Research & Development laboratory team supporting DOE at NETL to pursue cutting-edge research on enhancing oil production from unconventional reservoirs. Specifically, you will work with NETL’s Production team to address the challenges of low permeability and complex fluid dynamics in shale formations by developing and testing secondary recovery methods, such as the injection of water, natural gas, or carbon dioxide with additives. In this role, you will engage with world-class researchers and engineers integrating expertise in reservoir engineering, subsurface geochemistry, fluid characterization, geomechanics, and advanced diagnostic imaging, including leading DOE scientists and external partners to advance fossil energy technology through scientific and technological innovation that addresses the optimization of oil recovery mechanisms." That's description. "Primary Responsibilities. Assist rock characterization of oil saturation mapping, mineral analysis, porosity and permeability.Assist fluid characterization including pressure-volume-temperature measurements, interfacial tension, contact angle, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance scanning measurements and additive evaluation for fluid selection optimization.Assist with the design and conduct of laboratory tests aimed at enhancing oil and gas recovery from unconventional reservoirs by simulating subsurface conditions, quantifying oil and gas recovery rates and determining dominant recovery mechanisms under various injection scenarios.Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, including geologists, geographers, chemists, computer scientists, environmental scientists, and other researchers to accomplish project related tasks." We can split into bullet list. "Basic Qualifications. Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in petroleum engineering or related scientific/engineering field.Experience utilizing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance scanning for oil saturation mapping.Experience with interfacial science by conducting contact angle measurements, interfacial tension and wettability alteration.Ability to meet the requirement for gaining access to work on the NETL campus." "Preferred Qualifications. List additional skills and experience that are “nice to have” but not required. Experience interpreting complex experimental data using tools like python or MATLAB." Then there is fluff: "If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo — because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 — and moving faster than anyone else dares." This is marketing fluff, not substantive? It's not required but maybe we can ignore as it's not specific job content. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This fluff is not boilerplate but maybe considered filler? It's not specific job content; but it's not boilerplate. However we should preserve substantive information. This is more like marketing tagline; maybe we can drop as not essential. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include as part of About the role? But it's not about role. Safer to omit. Then "Original Posting September 17, 2026 For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above." This is metadata; we can fold into short

or drop. Probably drop. Then "Pay Range Pay Range $57,850.00 - $104,575.00 The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline onlyand not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law." We need Pay section with that range. Then "About Leidos Leidos is an industry and technology leader serving government and commercial customers with smarter, more efficient digital and mission innovations. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with 47,000 global employees, Leidos reported annual revenues of approximately $16.7 billion for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025. For more information, visit www.Leidos.com." This is company overview; could be part of About the role? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to role but could be included as About Leidos. However instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. Not About Leidos. So we could incorporate into About the role? The About the role heading expects description of role. The company overview maybe not needed. Could drop as not essential. Then "Pay And Benefits Pay and benefits are fundamental to any career decision. That's why we craft compensation packages that reflect the importance of the work we do for our customers. Employment benefits include competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. More details are available at www.leidos.com/careers/pay-benefits." We need Benefits section with list: competitive compensation, Health and Wellness programs, Income Protection, Paid Leave and Retirement. Then "Securing Your Data Beware of fake employment opportunities using Leidos’ name. Leidos will never ask you to provide payment-related information during any part of the employment application process (i.e., ask you for money), nor will Leidos ever advance money as part of the hiring process (i.e., send you a check or money order before doing any work). Further, Leidos will only communicate with you through emails that are generated by the Leidos.com automated system – never from free commercial services (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) or via WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. If you received an email purporting to be from Leidos that asks for payment-related information or any other personal information (e.g., about you or your previous employer), and you are concerned about its legitimacy, please make us aware immediately by emailing us at LeidosCareersFraud@leidos.com. If you believe you are the victim of a scam, contact your local law enforcement and report the incident to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission." That's scam warning boilerplate; remove. Then "Commitment to Non-Discrimination All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to sex, race, ethnicity, age, national origin, citizenship, religion, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, family structure, marital status, ancestry, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by law. Leidos will also consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with relevant laws." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Thus final sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine specific skills? Could be part of Requirements/Qualifications). Benefits (list), Pay (range). Schedule not present, so omit. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. Let's craft. About the role: combine description paragraphs into a

    . Might be long but okay. Responsibilities: list each responsibility as

  • . Requirements: Basic Qualifications list. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list. Skills: maybe we can extract specific skills: Experience utilizing NMR scanning, Experience with interfacial science (contact angle, interfacial tension, wettability alteration), Ability to meet NETL access requirement, Experience interpreting complex experimental data using Python or MATLAB. Could be a Skills section. But we already have those in Requirements/Qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we don't need separate Skills. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have headings for Skills allowed; we could omit if not needed. Better to have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic), Qualifications (Preferred), Benefits, Pay. That's six sections. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract exact sentences. Description: "We are seeking an exceptional and motivated Research Engineer interested in pursuing their passion by working side-by-side with world experts as a research scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) Pittsburgh site. In this role, you will work as part of Leidos’s leading Research & Development laboratory team supporting DOE at NETL to pursue cutting-edge research on enhancing oil production from unconventional reservoirs.

In this role, you will engage with world-class researchers and engineers integrating expertise in reservoir engineering, subsurface geochemistry, fluid characterization, geomechanics, and advanced diagnostic imaging, including leading DOE scientists and external partners to advance fossil energy technology through scientific and technological innovation that addresses the optimization of oil recovery mechanisms." We could also include the first sentence "Description General program information and/or position overview." but that's generic; we can ignore. Now Responsibilities bullet points: - Assist rock characterization of oil saturation mapping, mineral analysis, porosity and permeability. - Assist fluid characterization including pressure-volume-temperature measurements, interfacial tension, contact angle, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance scanning measurements and additive evaluation for fluid selection optimization. - Assist with the design and conduct of laboratory tests aimed at enhancing oil and gas recovery from unconventional reservoirs by simulating subsurface conditions, quantifying oil and gas recovery rates and determining dominant recovery mechanisms under various injection scenarios. - Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team, including geologists, geographers, chemists, computer scientists, environmental scientists, and other researchers to accomplish project related tasks.

Preferred Qualifications: - Experience interpreting complex experimental data using tools like python or MATLAB. Now Benefits: - competitive compensation - Health and Wellness programs - Income Protection - Paid Leave - Retirement Now Pay: Pay range $57,850.00 - $104,575.00. Also note that it's a guideline only etc. We should preserve that note. So include a

    with that text. Now ensure no boilerplate. Let's craft HTML. We'll output:
