We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: Territory: San Jose This position supports customers throughout the assigned territory and requires regular travel within the region. PURPOSE The Sales Engineer is responsible for representing SMC in all business activities associated with assigned accounts. The position also has the responsibility to create and develop new business, new relationships to increase market share and obtain annual growth.

Essential Duties (list of duties) Then PHYSICAL DEMANDS/WORK ENVIRONMENT (maybe schedule? but not needed) Minimum Requirements (list) Then a paragraph about role. Compensation & Benefits: includes salary range, SIP, company-provided vehicle, benefits package. We need sections: About the role (purpose), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (maybe combine with requirements? but we can separate if content). Skills (maybe from requirements: communication, problem-solving, CRM, etc). Benefits (benefits package). Pay (salary range + SIP + vehicle). Schedule (maybe from physical demands? Not explicit schedule; maybe travel requirement? Not schedule. Could omit schedule if no specific schedule info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits content. Schedule? Not explicit schedule like hours, shift. Could omit Schedule section. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it. There's "For Internal Use Only:SALES001" - we can drop or put in a short p. Probably drop. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Territory sentence: "Territory: San Jose This position supports customers throughout the assigned territory and requires regular travel within the region." This is about role/location. Could go under About the role. Purpose paragraph: "The Sales Engineer is responsible for representing SMC in all business activities associated with assigned accounts. The position also has the responsibility to create and develop new business, new relationships to increase market share and obtain annual growth. As a Sales Engineer, you will be responsible for promoting, selling, and maintaining relationships with clients interested in automation solutions." Essential Duties list: many bullet-like sentences separated by line breaks. We need to turn each into

• . Let's list them: - Profitability grow sales through proactive management of targeted accounts - Meet or exceed annual growth expectations on a consistent basis - Present and sell the company’s core products and new released products to create value - Serves as the primary contact for assigned customer accounts and is responsible for customer growth - Penetrate assigned accounts by selling new or additional products to current buyers, finding additional buyers within the existing customer, and/or selling to additional customer locations - Develop relationships with key decision-makers within designated target accounts; respected by customer’s top management team - Identify and in pursuit of opportunities for account growth and new business at new accounts - Use CRM to document sales calls, projects, opportunities, contacts, leads, success reports to align customer data regionally, globally as necessary - Develop and execute detailed customer action plans and forecast as required - Effectively utilize SMC tools and resources to ensure organizational consistency and efficiency - Complete market reports as new and relevant information becomes available - Completes required technical training and development objectives within the assigned time frame - Demonstrate initiative and proactive skills with co-workers, peers, and customers - Assist in the training of Sales Trainees and Sales Associates when appropriate - Set and achieve sales targets, revenue quotas, and key performance indicators (KPIs) as outlined by management. - Successfully complete other duties as prescribed by the Branch Manager/Sales Manager - Demonstrate an outbound reach, call blocks, daily prospecting, looking for new, document your benchmark We need to keep them as is. Physical Demands/Work Environment: "Customer facing position, with the majority time spent at customer siteTravel with some extended stay away from homePhysically capable of lifting SMC products and displays up to 50 lbs." Could be part of About the role or maybe Schedule? Not schedule. Could be included in About the role as additional info. Minimum Requirements list: - Completion of the SMC sales training program or equivalent sales and industry experience - Proficient understanding of pneumatic components and their application - Thorough knowledge and understanding of SMC policies and procedures, preferred - Thorough knowledge and understanding of SMC product line, preferred - Basic understanding of competitive product lines - Experienced communication and problem-solving skills - Proficient in CRM and the use of computers and ability to learn new programs and tools as required - Clean driving record Then paragraph: "The Sales Engineer plays a pivotal role in driving sales revenue, expanding the customer base, and promoting the adoption of automation solutions within target markets. By leveraging strong interpersonal skills, technical knowledge, and sales acumen, the Sales Engineer contributes to the success and growth of the organization's automation business." Compensation & Benefits: - "The expected salary range for this position is $46,896–$83,508 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, geographic location, and other job-related factors." - "This position is also eligible to participate in SMC's Sales Incentive Program (SIP) and includes a company-provided vehicle with company-paid maintenance and fuel." - "SMC offers a comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) retirement savings; paid time off and paid holidays; life and disability insurance; and other employee benefits and programs." We need sections: About the role (purpose + territory + physical demands?), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (maybe we can combine with requirements? but we could separate: Qualifications could be the paragraph about role? Actually qualifications often include education/experience; but we have minimum requirements. Could treat Requirements as minimum requirements, Qualifications as preferred knowledge? But we have "preferred" items in minimum requirements. Might be okay to have Requirements and Qualifications both; but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But the instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with real content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum), Skills (communication, problem-solving, CRM, etc), Benefits, Pay. Qualifications maybe we can treat as the paragraph about role? But that's more about role. Could omit Qualifications if no specific qualifications beyond requirements. However we have "Thorough knowledge and understanding of SMC policies and procedures, preferred" etc which are qualifications. Could put those under Qualifications. But we already have them in Requirements list. To avoid duplication, we could split: Requirements = mandatory items (completion of training, proficient understanding, experienced communication, proficient in CRM, clean driving record). Qualifications = preferred items (thorough knowledge of SMC policies, product line, basic understanding of competitive lines). But the instruction says preserve all substantive info; we can split but must not lose info. Let's do that. Skills: maybe we can list communication, problem-solving, CRM, computer use, learning new programs. Could be under Skills. But we already have communication and problem-solving in Requirements; we could still list them under Skills. Might duplicate but okay as long as we preserve info. However we should avoid duplication? Not explicitly forbidden but better to avoid redundant. Could put communication, problem-solving, CRM, computer use, ability to learn new programs under Skills. And keep Requirements as the mandatory items: completion of training, proficient understanding of pneumatic components, clean driving record. But we also have "proficient understanding of pneumatic components and their application" which is a skill. Could be under Skills as well. Hmm. Simplify: Use Requirements for the list of minimum requirements (all items). Use Skills for the subset of communication, problem-solving, CRM, computer use, ability to learn new programs. But that duplicates some. Might be okay but could be considered redundant. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but could be considered unnecessary. However we can keep them separate but ensure we don't lose any info. It's okay to have some overlap as long as we keep all info. Alternatively, we could omit Skills section and put those under Requirements. But we need to decide. Given we have many sections possible, we can include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. That's enough. Qualifications and Skills could be omitted if no distinct content beyond what's already in Requirements. However we have "Thorough knowledge and understanding of SMC policies and procedures, preferred" etc which are qualifications but could be considered part of Requirements (they are listed as preferred). So we can keep them in Requirements. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't create Schedule section. Now format.
