We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: ABOUT THE COMPANY, POSITION OVERVIEW, AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY, Qualifications & Experience, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Requirements, Physical Requirements, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content. We must not repeat job title. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like E-Verify, EEO. We need to decide which headings to use. Likely: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (areas of responsibility), Qualifications (qualifications & experience, required qualifications, preferred qualifications), Skills (required skills), maybe Physical Requirements could go under Requirements? But we have a specific heading "Requirements". Could include physical requirements there. KPIs maybe under Responsibilities? Or maybe under Skills? Not sure. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose among those. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need to map content. We have: - About the company: could be part of About the role? Actually "About the role" is about the position, not company. But we could put company info under About the role? Might be okay. However we have POSITION OVERVIEW which describes role. So we can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY. - Qualifications: Qualifications & Experience, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: REQUIRED SKILLS. - Requirements: maybe Physical Requirements and KPIs? Or we could put Physical Requirements under Requirements. KPIs maybe under Responsibilities? But we have a separate heading for Requirements; we can include physical requirements and maybe KPIs there. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". There's phrase "authority delegated commensurate with assigned responsibilities." That's a filler? It's not a placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's actual phrase but maybe we should keep it? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . The phrase "commensurate with assigned responsibilities" is similar to "commensurate with experience". Might be considered filler. Safer to remove that sentence? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The phrase is substantive? It's describing authority level. Might be considered boilerplate. However it's not a standard placeholder; it's a specific statement. I'd keep it. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for headings. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each section. Let's extract content: ABOUT THE COMPANY: paragraph about JOST history etc. POSITION OVERVIEW: paragraph about Robotic Programmer responsibilities. AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY: bullet list (starting with "Include, but are not limited to:" then many items). We'll turn each item into

  • . Qualifications & Experience: paragraph about degree and experience. Required Qualifications: bullet list. Preferred Qualifications: bullet list. Requirements: Actually there is a section titled "Requirements" after Preferred Qualifications? In the text: "Requirements REQUIRED SKILLS: ..." Wait there is a heading "Requirements" then "REQUIRED SKILLS:" then list. Then "Physical Requirements". Then "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)". Then E-Verify etc. So we need to map: - Requirements heading: maybe we treat as "Requirements" section containing the REQUIRED SKILLS list and maybe also Physical Requirements and KPIs? But we have separate headings for Skills and Requirements. The instruction list includes Skills as a possible heading. So we can put REQUIRED SKILLS under Skills heading. Then Requirements heading can contain Physical Requirements and KPIs. Thus:

    About the role

    (contains About the company? Actually About the role should be position overview. But we also have company info. Could we include company info under About the role? Might be okay but maybe better to have About the role include position overview only, and we could add a separate section for About the company? Not allowed headings. So we need to fit company info somewhere. Could we put it under About the role as a preamble? The heading "About the role" could include both company and position overview. That seems acceptable. Thus

    About the role

    then

    containing company description and position overview. Then

    Responsibilities

    with
      list of responsibilities. Then

      Qualifications

      with maybe sub-sections? We can just put paragraphs for Qualifications & Experience, then
        for Required Qualifications, then
          for Preferred Qualifications. Then

          Skills

          with
            list of REQUIRED SKILLS. Then

            Requirements

            with

            for Physical Requirements and maybe

              for KPIs? KPIs are bullet list? In text: "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Robot uptime and equipment availability.Reduction in production downtime.Cycle time improvements.Successful launch of automation projects.Quality and scrap reduction metrics.Safety compliance and incident prevention." It's a sentence with periods separating items. We can turn into
                list. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like E-Verify and Equal Opportunity Employer. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece. Company description: "For more than 70 years, JOST has been shaping the future of transportation with innovation, safety, and customer focus at its core. Founded in 1952 in Germany with the development of the first cast-steel fifth wheel, JOST has grown into a global leader supplying the commercial vehicle and agricultural industries with trusted, high-quality solutions.

The Robotic Programmer works closely with engineering, maintenance, quality, and production teams to implement and sustain robotic automation systems. This position reports to the Industrial Engineering Manager. It is solely accountable for the fulfillment of all assigned duties and has authority delegated commensurate with assigned responsibilities." We'll combine these two paragraphs maybe separated by a blank line but within same

                ? Could be two

                elements under the heading. The instruction: use

                for prose. So we can have multiple

                under heading.

Ability to work flexible hours, including overtime and weekends, when necessary to support production." We need to preserve punctuation; maybe fix minor typos but keep meaning. KPIs list: - Robot uptime and equipment availability. - Reduction in production downtime. - Cycle time improvements. - Successful launch of automation projects. - Quality and scrap reduction metrics. - Safety compliance and incident prevention. We'll put as
                    . Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like E-Verify, Equal Opportunity Employer. Now output HTML fragment. Structure:

                    About the role

                    company description

                    position overview
