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. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Sections present:
- About Us (but we have "About the role" heading? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We have "About Us" description: "At Just Evotec Biologics, we believe that curiosity is the spark..." That's about the company. Could map to "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the role description. The posting includes "The Role: Your challenge…in our journey" and then description. So we can put that under "About the role". Also there is "About Us" earlier; but we can combine? Probably better to put company description under "About the role"? The instruction says use those headings; we can decide to put company description under "About the role" or maybe we can omit if not specific? But we need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include company description somewhere. Could put under "About the role" as a paragraph.
Then "What You’ll Do" is responsibilities -> Responsibilities section.
Then "Who You Are" maybe qualifications? Actually "Who You Are" describes personal attributes; could go under Skills or Qualifications? Probably "Qualifications" for education and experience; "Skills" for technical skills; "Requirements" maybe for education and experience? The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to decide mapping.
We have "Education And Qualification Requirements" with bullet list of education/experience combos and then list of requirements (robust background, strong expertise, etc). That seems like qualifications and requirements.
We have "Why Join Us" which includes benefits, growth opportunities, flexible work environment, inclusive culture, innovative projects, etc. That maps to Benefits section (maybe also Pay). There's also Pay info: "The base pay range for this position at commencement of employment is expected to be $125,000 to $155,000; this is a salary exempt role. Base salary offered may vary depending on the individual’s skills, experience and competitive market value. Additional total rewards include discretionary annual bonus, comprehensive benefits to include Medical, Dental and Vision, short-term and long-term disability, company paid basic life insurance, 401k company match, generous paid time off and paid holiday, wellness and transportation benefits."
So Pay section: include salary range and mention of bonus etc? Actually bonus etc is part of total rewards; but Benefits section can include benefits details. Pay section should include salary range. Benefits section: list benefits (medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401k match, PTO, holidays, wellness, transportation). Also maybe mention flexible work environment? That's more about schedule? There's "Flexible Work Environment: We offer flexible work options to help you balance your professional and personal life. This is a site based role." That could go under Schedule? Actually schedule refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Flexible work options could be schedule. We'll put under Schedule.
Also "Inclusive Culture", "Innovative Projects", "A Place for Big Ideas", "Growth Opportunities" could be part of Benefits or maybe separate but we only have those headings. We could incorporate them into Benefits as bullet points.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove "Are You Still Curious?" etc? That's motivational but maybe considered boilerplate? It's part of the posting but not essential? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Are You Still Curious?" is not legal boilerplate; it's more motivational. Might keep? It's not duplicated. Could keep as part of "About the role" or "Why Join Us"? It's at end. Might be considered fluff but not prohibited. Safer to keep? It's not EEO. It's not application instructions. It's a call to apply. Might be considered application instruction? It says "Take the leap and apply today." That's application instruction. So we should remove that. Also "Let your curiosity guide your career—#BeCurious and explore the endless possibilities at Just Evotec Biologics!" That's also application encouragement. Remove.
Also remove "Evotec (US) Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc.

That's a lot; we keep all.
Now Requirements / Qualifications / Skills.
We have "Education And Qualification Requirements" with education/experience combos and then list of requirements.
We need to split into sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings if there is real specific content. We have content for each.
We could map:
- Requirements: Education and experience combos (Bachelor’s or Masters degree ... etc). Also maybe "Robust background in control system automation..." etc could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Strong expertise in AVEVA PI system architecture..." etc.
- Skills: maybe "Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, SQL)" etc.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse the list after education:
"Robust background in control system automation, including design, installation, programming, and validation of automated processes.
Strong expertise in AVEVA PI system architecture, configuration, and development (PI AF, PI Vision, integrations).
Experience integrating AVEVA PI with process control systems such as DeltaV (preferred), SCADA, or DCS platforms.

Experience with automation platforms such as DeltaV, Siemens
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings.
We have "About Us" description: "At Just Evotec Biologics, we believe that curiosity is the spark..." That's about the company. Could map to "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the role description. The posting includes "The Role: Your challenge…in our journey" and then description. So we can put that under "About the role".

So we need to include company description somewhere. Could put under "About the role" as a paragraph.
Then "What You’ll Do" is responsibilities -> Responsibilities section.
Then "Who You Are" maybe qualifications? Actually "Who You Are" describes personal attributes; could go under Skills or Qualifications? Probably "Qualifications" for education and experience; "Skills" for technical skills; "Requirements" maybe for education and experience? The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to decide mapping.

Now structure:
About the role
... combine company description and role overview.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The company description paragraph, the role description paragraphs (The Role: Your challenge…). Also maybe the "As Senior Automation Engineer – Global MSAT at Just Evotec Biologics, you'll have the freedom..." etc. Let's extract: About Us paragraph: "At Just Evotec Biologics, we believe that curiosity is the spark that drives innovation and success. As a forward-thinking team, we thrive on challenging the status quo, learning from each other, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We're on a mission to create a place where curiosity isn't just encouraged—it’s celebrated.

We can combine these into About the role. Now Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" list items. Need to convert each sentence starting with a verb into
