We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented details. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines and navigation. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: posting says Salary: $80,000 - $130,000 per year. So we can have Pay section with that. Benefits: posting mentions "Competitive Compensation Benefits Starting Day 1: Medical coverage from day one, company-paid life and dental insurance 401(k) with Company Match". Also "Stable Aerospace Manufacturing Environment — long-standing OEM relationships...". Also "Advanced CNC Equipment & Technology — 5-axis machining centers, modern CAM environment". Also "High-Impact, Hands-On Role: Build processes from concept through production release — not just run them". Also "Growth Opportunities within a leading precision manufacturer". So we can include Benefits section with those bullet points. Also maybe "About the role" could be a short paragraph summarizing role? The posting includes "Job Details Key Responsibilities and Duties" etc. We can have sections: Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications (list), Skills (maybe combine with qualifications?), Benefits (list), Pay (p). Also maybe "About the role" could be a paragraph describing the role from the "A bit about us:"? Actually "A bit about us:" is about company, not role. Could be "About the company". But headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose to include About the role (maybe a brief description of role). The posting includes "Job Details Key Responsibilities and Duties" and then list. So we can have About the role as a short paragraph summarizing: CNC Programmer – Manufacturing Engineer (5-Axis, Aerospace) role. But we must not repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in paragraph. That's okay. We must not include Schedule (no info). So omit Schedule. We must not include Skills if not distinct; but we could include Skills as list of specific skills: Mastercam, Siemens NX CAM, G-code, GD&T, etc. However qualifications already list many. Might be redundant. Better to have Qualifications section covering needed qualifications, and maybe Skills separate for technical skills. But we must avoid thin sections. Let's see: Qualifications — Needed: list includes education, experience, proficiency, etc. That's fairly substantive. Could combine Skills into Qualifications? But the instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We can have Qualifications and Skills separate if we have distinct content. The posting includes "Advanced proficiency with Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM", "Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, and CNC machine controls", "Proven ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T", "Experience machining tight-tolerance aerospace components", "Knowledge of cutting tools, fixture design concepts, and advanced machining strategies", "Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills". Those could be Skills. Qualifications includes education, years experience, etc. So we can split. Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities and Duties". Good. Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications? Actually they have "Qualifications — Needed:" which is basically requirements. Could treat that as Requirements. But we already have Qualifications heading. Might be redundant. Better to follow typical: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's map: - Responsibilities: list of duties (Create, optimize, maintain CNC programs; Interpret drawings; Develop strategies; Generate setup sheets; Support machine setup; Collaborate; Troubleshoot; Perform simulations; Optimize cycle times; Support continuous improvement; Ensure compliance; Maintain revision-controlled files). That's good. - Requirements: maybe the mandatory items: High school diploma or GED required; Minimum 5+ years CNC programming experience, including 3+ years programming 5-axis; Must live within commutable distance to Meriden, CT — no relocation package offered. Also maybe "technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred" could be preferred not required. We'll keep as Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the preferred qualifications: technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred; Strong experience programming CNC Lathes, VTLs, and Milling Centers; Advanced proficiency with Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM; Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, and CNC machine controls; Proven ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T; Experience machining tight-tolerance aerospace components; Knowledge of cutting tools, fixture design concepts, and advanced machining strategies; Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills. That seems like qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could list specific technical skills: Mastercam, Siemens NX CAM, G-code, M-code, GD&T, 5-axis machining, CAM, etc. But that overlaps with qualifications. Might be thin. Better to omit Skills and keep Qualifications as the detailed list. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. Let's do: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe About the role as intro paragraph. We must not include fluff like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details: About the role / company: "Founded nearly eight decades ago and based in Meriden, CT, with additional facilities across the U.S., we are a leading precision manufacturer of mission-critical aerospace components — including engine, rocket propulsion, and airframe parts — trusted by some of the most demanding OEMs in commercial aviation, defense, and commercial space. From prototype through production, we combine advanced CNC technology, deep engineering expertise, and tolerances as tight as 0.00005", and we're growing with the backing of a growth-oriented investment partner." That's about company. Could be placed under About the role? Actually About the role could be a brief description of the role: CNC Programmer – Manufacturing Engineer (5-Axis, Aerospace). But we already have that in title. Maybe we can put company description under About the role? The heading "About the role" could contain description of role and company. We'll include a paragraph summarizing role and company. Responsibilities list: Let's capture each bullet: - Create, optimize, and maintain CNC programs for 5-axis machining centers using Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM - Interpret aerospace engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, specifications, and GD&T requirements - Develop efficient machining strategies for complex components in aluminum, titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and other aerospace-grade materials - Generate setup sheets, tooling documentation, and work instructions for production personnel - Support machine setup, program prove-outs, and first article inspections - Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production to meet customer and regulatory requirements - Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and programming issues to improve productivity and reduce scrap - Perform machining simulations and collision checks prior to production release - Optimize cycle times, tool life, and machine utilization while maintaining quality standards - Support continuous improvement initiatives (process capability, throughput, cost reduction) - Ensure compliance with AS9100, customer specifications, and company quality procedures - Maintain revision-controlled program files and manufacturing documentation Requirements list (mandatory): - High school diploma or GED required - Minimum 5+ years of CNC programming experience, including 3+ years programming 5-axis machining centers - Must live within commutable distance to Meriden, CT — no relocation package offered (Optionally also "technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred" could be in Qualifications.) Qualifications list (preferred/additional): - Technical degree or CNC programming certification preferred - Strong experience programming CNC Lathes, VTLs, and Milling Centers - Advanced proficiency with Mastercam and/or Siemens NX CAM - Strong knowledge of G-code, M-code, and CNC machine controls - Proven ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T - Experience machining tight-tolerance aerospace components - Knowledge of cutting tools, fixture design concepts, and advanced machining strategies - Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills Benefits list: - Competitive Compensation Benefits Starting Day 1: - Medical coverage from day one - Company-paid life and dental insurance - 401(k) with Company Match - Stable Aerospace Manufacturing Environment — long-standing OEM relationships in aviation, space, and defense - Advanced CNC Equipment & Technology — 5-axis machining centers, modern CAM environment - High-Impact, Hands-On Role: Build processes from concept through production release — not just run them - Growth Opportunities within a leading precision manufacturer Pay: Salary: $80,000 - $130,000 per year. We should not include duplicated lines like "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page!" etc. Also remove EEO, legal, application instructions. Now produce HTML:
