We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have content: Job Summary (maybe "About the role"?). Role And Responsibilities (list). Basic Qualifications (education, experience, security clearance). Preferred Qualifications (list). Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 hours/week. Compensation: $141,000-$212,000. Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses... Additional compensation may be in the form of... KBR Benefits: KBR offers a selection of competitive lifestyle benefits which could include 401K plan with company match, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, flexible spending account, disability, paid time off, or flexible work schedule. We support career advancement through professional training and development. Then some culture statements (Belong, Connect and Grow...). Then EEO statement (remove). Then Job ID R2130593 (drop or minor metadata). Also "The salary range posted is based on the national average..." etc. We need to decide sections: About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe not explicit; could combine with qualifications? The posting doesn't have a separate "Skills" section; we could omit Skills if no specific content. Benefits (we have benefits description). Pay (we have compensation range). Schedule (we have scheduled weekly hours). Ensure we don't create sections with filler. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

    for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: Job Summary paragraph: "KBR is seeking a Senior Electronic Warfare Systems Engineer to support the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons (PEO(U&W)), Program Management Air (PMA)-266.

Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 hours/week. Compensation: $141,000-$212,000. The salary range posted is based on the national average. The offered rate will be based on the selected candidate’s location, knowledge, skills, abilities, and/or experience, contract affordability, and in consideration of internal parity. Additional Compensation: KBR may offer bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation to certain job titles or levels per internal policy or contractual designation. Additional compensation may be in the form of a sign-on bonus, relocation benefits, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, or discretionary payments for exceptional performance.

These inform all that we do and are at the heart of our commitment to, and ongoing journey toward being a People First company. That commitment is central to our team of team’s philosophy and fosters an environment where everyone can Belong, Connect and Grow. We Deliver – Together." This is not a standard section; could be considered part of Benefits? But it's more about company culture. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. This is substantive content but not a standard heading. Could we include it under Benefits? Might be okay to add a separate section like "Company Culture" but not in the prescribed list. The list of allowed headings is given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should stick to those. The culture statements could be placed under Benefits? Not exactly. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit culture statements, we lose substantive info. However, we could incorporate them into Benefits section as additional detail (like "KBR offers ... We support career advancement ... Belong, Connect and Grow..."). That would preserve the info while staying within Benefits heading. That seems acceptable. Job ID R2130593: minor metadata; we can fold into a short

    or drop it. Probably drop it as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. So we can either drop it or include a short paragraph at end maybe not needed. Safer to drop. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce sections:

    About the role

    Job summary paragraph.

    Responsibilities

    • ...
    • ...

    Requirements

    Education: ...

    Experience: ...

    Security Clearance: ...

    Alternatively could use
      for each but instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. For Requirements, we have three items; could be a list. But they are not a list of duties; they are qualifications. Could treat as list. Safer to use

        • for each requirement. Similarly for Qualifications (Preferred) use list. Skills: we have no explicit skills section; we could omit Skills heading. Benefits: we have benefits description plus culture statements; we can combine into
          • for each benefit item? The benefits list includes multiple items; we can list them. Also include "We support career advancement through professional training and development." and culture statements. Pay: we have compensation range and additional compensation details; we can put in

            maybe with

              for additional compensation? The instruction: Use
              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Pay is not a list; we can use

                . But we have additional compensation which is a list; could use

                  . Schedule: we have scheduled weekly hours; we can use

                  . Now ensure we don't create sections with filler. All sections have real content. Let's craft. First, About the role paragraph: copy exactly. Second, Responsibilities list: each bullet as

                • . Third, Requirements list: Education, Experience, Security Clearance. Fourth, Qualifications list: Preferred Qualifications items. Fifth, Benefits list: include benefits items and culture statements. Sixth
