Senior Aerospace Cybersecurity Architect
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings, but not required to use only those? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should only use those headings if content matches. Physical Requirements not in list, so we should not create a heading for it; maybe we can incorporate into a paragraph under Requirements or Qualifications? But it's not really a qualification. Could drop it? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot drop Physical Requirements entirely. We need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include it as a
under a generic section? But we must use h3 for section headings; we could create a h3 with "Physical Requirements" even though not in the example list? The instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exclusive. However later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't forbid other headings. So we could add a h3 for Physical Requirements. But the list of examples may be the intended set; but not explicitly prohibited. Safer to follow examples and only use those headings. Then we need to embed Physical Requirements info somewhere else, maybe under Responsibilities or Requirements? But that would be misrepresenting. However we could add a
after the sections without a heading? The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose." It does not say we cannot have stray paragraphs without heading. It says use h3 for section headings. It doesn't forbid having paragraphs outside headings. But likely they expect sections with headings. However we could add a h3 "Physical Requirements" as it's a section with real content. I'd do that.
Also need to include Pay Range And Compensation Package: we have salary range and benefits. So we need a Pay section (maybe also Benefits). The posting includes "Other benefits include health coverage, flexible PTO, a friendly work environment, plus extra fun perks!" So we can have Benefits section with that list. Pay section with salary range.
Also need About the role? The role description paragraph at start could be About the role.
Responsibilities: we have a big list.
Requirements: we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could split into Requirements (maybe required) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both Required and Preferred. Could make Requirements section for required qualifications, and Qualifications section for preferred. Or combine. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required and Preferred into Qualifications? But we have separate headings in examples: Requirements, Qualifications. We'll make Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred.
Skills: not explicitly listed; we could omit.
Benefits: we have benefits.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: not mentioned; omit.
Also need to include maybe "About the role" from the introductory paragraph.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO Statement, Physical Requirements? we keep as section. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe we keep as section. Also remove "EEO Statement". Also remove navigation etc.
Now produce HTML.

We must ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role: The paragraph starting "At ICEYE, we design..." up to "As a trusted mission partner..." plus "Role Description The Aerospace Cybersecurity Architect is responsible..." Actually the role description includes responsibilities. But we can put About the role as the introductory paragraph before Responsibilities. Let's capture: "At ICEYE, we design, build and operate the largest fleet of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites in the world. Using advanced technology, our constellation collects topographical data about any location on Earth, day or night, through any weather conditions. Headquartered in Southern California, our customers are society’s heroes – intelligence professionals, warfighters, first responders, and scientific researchers. As a trusted mission partner, the United States and its allies depend on us for critical information when it matters most. Role Description The Aerospace Cybersecurity Architect is responsible for defining and advancing the security architecture for ICEYE US satellites, ground infrastructure, mission systems, communications, and supporting technologies throughout their lifecycle. This role serves as the primary cybersecurity architecture partner to aerospace software architecture, satellite operations, mission architecture, and engineering teams, ensuring cybersecurity requirements and security-by-design principles are incorporated into system and mission design from inception through operations. The Aerospace Cybersecurity Architect evaluates cyber risk across space, ground, communications, embedded, cloud, and operational technology environments and develops scalable, risk-informed architecture solutions to mitigate identified threats and vulnerabilities. The role provides technical cybersecurity guidance for system interfaces, trust boundaries, data flows, communications pathways, and mission-critical components while ensuring alignment with applicable customer, contractual, regulatory, and cybersecurity requirements. This position is critical to protecting ICEYE US mission capabilities and establishing resilient security architectures capable of supporting evolving operational and national security requirements."
That's a lot; we can keep as About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Define, design, and maintain..." through "Support cybersecurity incident investigations..." We'll extract each sentence as li.
Let's list responsibilities from the text:
- Define, design, and maintain cybersecurity architectures for satellites, ground stations, mission systems, communications infrastructure, and supporting aerospace technologies.
- Establish cybersecurity architecture principles, security patterns, technical requirements, and design standards for aerospace and mission environments.
- Integrate cybersecurity requirements and security-by-design principles into system architecture, software development, DevSecOps, satellite operations, and mission design processes.
- Perform architecture-level cybersecurity risk assessments, threat modeling, attack-surface analysis, and security design reviews for aerospace and mission systems.
