We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like 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. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Other Information" maybe not needed if not a heading? But we can include relevant info like location, work arrangement, physical demands, cleanroom, salary, benefits. Those could go under appropriate sections: Pay, Benefits, Schedule? Schedule maybe not given. There's mention of flexible workplace arrangement up to two days a week remote. That's maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could be under "Other Information" but we need to decide.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse content:
Introduction: description of team, role. Could be "About the role" section.
Role and responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Should be under

We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse content:
Introduction: description of team, role. Could be "About the role" section.
Role and responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Should be under Responsibilities
with - .
Education and Experience: qualifications. Could be under
Qualifications
or Requirements
. We have both Education and Experience and maybe Skills separate.
Skills: list of skills. Could be under Skills
.
Other Information: location, onsite requirement, flexible workplace arrangement, physical demands, cleanroom, salary range, benefits (medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401k, vacation leave 8 hours per month, 13 paid holidays). Also mention about controlled technology access, inclusion/diversity (EEO) - we should remove EEO boilerplate. Also mention about accommodation request etc - that's boilerplate/legal, remove.
We need to include Pay section if salary range given. Yes we have salary range: $142,800-196,350. So include Pay
with containing that.
Benefits: we have medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401k, vacation leave 8 hours per month, 13 paid holidays. So include
Benefits
with list.
Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's flexible workplace arrangement up to two days a week remote. That's not exactly schedule but could be considered under "Schedule" maybe? But guidelines: only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does not state regular schedule (e.g., full-time, shift). It mentions flexible workplace arrangement, but not schedule. Safer to omit Schedule section.
We also have location: San Diego, CA onsite. Could be under "About the role" or separate "Location". But we only have predefined headings; we could include location in About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid duplicating lines. Ensure we don't include repeated sentences.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points from the long paragraph. Many sentences repeated. We need to capture each distinct duty.
Let's list responsibilities:
- Serve as a technical expert for one or more control/optimization/calibration subsystems, capable of independent decision making for critical technical issues.
- Perform feasibility studies, support the development of product roadmaps, advise on future product definition and system specifications.
- Monitor integrity of system architecture during development, ensure the availability of Test Specifications, and coordinate or execute the testing process and design verification.
- Coordinate or execute the testing process and design verification in lab test bench and cleanroom fabrication environment (duplicate of previous? but we can keep once)
- Coordinate the specification of system functionalities, and design the system architecture based whilst ensuring commonality between products and subsystems across all programs, support program definition, co-ordinate decomposition and specification of sub systems, and support the review process and approval of designs in co-operation with applicable Product- and Project- Management.
- Define, plan, manage and coordinate assigned (portfolio of) projects and ensure execution and delivery, within the project management guidelines.
- Ensure and support optimal communication of specifications to all relevant parties to improve the decision processes, and prepare the introduction of approved new projects by defining all technical specifications on system level for Development & Engineering.
- Leads and mentors junior controls engineers, leads the development and integration of innovative control system solutions to enable stable and efficient production of EUV.
- Organize, coordinate, optimize, lead, coach, develop and appraise employees within the person's expertise / team.
- Applies broad knowledge in sensors, actuators, control algorithms, automation, software, and data analysis tools to drive control system improvements to enable continuously increased EUV power and system availability.
- Leads and performs integration activates including trouble shooting the control system, designing and executing test plans, to ensure the system functions as designed in the EUV light source. Such activities can take place in lab test bench and manufacturing cleanroom at various ASML sites.
- Documents work results with system requirements, design specifications, procedures, and training materials.
- Willingness to work in a dynamic customer focused environment.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
- Algorithm & Control Specific: Performs the design, development, and implementation of complex algorithms involving controller design, optimization, system identification, signal processing and stochastic signal analysis for the EUV Source & other equipment used in the semiconductor industry.

- Designs and builds tools that allow debugging, analysis and performance evaluation of algorithms. Determines the root cause for algorithm failure in products in the manufacturing factory and in fielded units in high-level escalations.
We need to deduplicate similar items. Many are similar. We'll combine into concise bullet points but must preserve all substantive information; we can combine similar but not lose info. However guidelines: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail? We need to keep details but can combine similar points if they are essentially same. Safer to keep each distinct bullet as in original but avoid exact duplicates.
Let's produce a list with each unique duty.
Now Education and Experience:
- Bachelors’ degree in Controls, Mechanical, Computer, Chemical, Aerospace or Electrical Engineering or Physics; Master's or PhD. preferred.
- Must have 5 years of relevant industry experience.
- Specialization in advanced control systems or plasma physics preferred.

Skills:
- Ability to translate, statistically analyze large amounts of data and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.
- Ability to carry a product design from conception into production.
- Experience designing and implementing practical feedback control or optimization systems of significant complexity.

Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology. (This is substantive? It's a requirement about export control. Might be considered relevant. Not boilerplate? It's a legal requirement. Could keep under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be considered a requirement. We'll include under Requirements maybe as a bullet.)

We need to keep the controlled technology requirement.
Now decide sections:
- About the role: introduction paragraph(s) describing team and role.
- Responsibilities: bullet list.

We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits, so include those. Schedule not present, omit.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to wrap sections with headings and then content.
For each section, after heading we can have

- for lists.
Let's craft.
