We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Benefits & Compensation with salary range and benefits details. So we can include Benefits section (maybe also Pay? The instruction says include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range, which is pay. Could treat Pay as separate section or combine with Benefits. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay and Benefits into one Benefits section? But they listed Pay as separate possible heading. Since we have salary range, we could include a Pay section. Benefits also present. Could have both. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state salary range and benefits, so both can be included. Schedule: posting mentions "We’re working onsite 4 days a week". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We need to include About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph about Medtronic mission, etc. Could be About the role. Also "A Day in the Life" maybe part of About the role. We'll create About the role section with that narrative.
Responsibilities: list of duties bullet points.
Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could separate Required Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred as Qualifications? Or combine. We'll follow: Requirements for Required Qualifications (Must Have). Qualifications for Preferred Qualifications (Nice To Have). Skills maybe not needed if covered.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include details about degree requirements, experience, SolidWorks, etc. Also include Physical Job Requirements? That's maybe part of Responsibilities? It's a section about physical demands. Could be included under Responsibilities or a separate section? Not in headings list. Probably we can include under Responsibilities as a bullet? But it's a paragraph. Could include under Responsibilities as a paragraph. However we should not invent sections not in list. The allowed headings are those listed; we can still include other headings? The instruction: "use

We need to preserve all substantive info: include details about degree requirements, experience, SolidWorks, etc. Also include Physical Job Requirements? That's maybe part of Responsibilities? It's a section about physical demands. Could be included under Responsibilities or a separate section? Not in headings list. Probably we can include under Responsibilities as a bullet? But it's a paragraph. Could include under Responsibilities as a paragraph. However we should not invent sections not in list. The allowed headings are those listed; we can still include other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections. Likely we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus sections:
- About the role: includes Medtronic mission, A Day in the Life, onsite 4 days, team description.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (Must Have) details.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (Nice To Have) details.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: salary range and incentive info.
- Schedule: onsite 4 days a week (maybe also mention in About the role but we can put schedule here). However schedule info already in About the role; but we can still include schedule section with that detail. Avoid duplication? We should not repeat same info? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication may be okay if it's in original? But we should avoid unnecessary duplication. The schedule info appears in "We’re working onsite 4 days a week as part of our commitment...". That's substantive. Could place under Schedule section. The About the role could omit that sentence to avoid duplication. But we need to preserve all info; we can keep it in Schedule and not repeat in About the role. So About the role will not include that sentence.
Thus we need to parse the posting and extract relevant bits.
Let's extract:
About the role content:
"We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 2 Oct 2026" - that's metadata maybe minor; we can fold into short p or drop. Probably drop as minor metadata.
"Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact."
"A Day in the Life At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. In-person exchanges are invaluable to our work. We’re working onsite 4 days a week as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary. The Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) team is seeking a Senior Equipment Design Engineer to design and implement manufacturing equipment, fixtures, tooling, and automation systems used in a regulated medical device environment. This role requires significant experience in mechanical design, advanced SolidWorks capability, and engineering documentation."
We could keep the first two paragraphs as About the role, and maybe the third paragraph about the team seeking etc could be part of About the role as well. But we moved schedule to Schedule section, so we need to extract the schedule sentence: "We’re working onsite 4 days a week as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary." That's schedule.
Thus About the role will be:

We removed the schedule sentence.
Now Responsibilities bullet list: from "Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned." then list:
- Own the mechanical design and development of custom machines, automation systems, tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing equipment for medical device development and production environments.
- Create and maintain detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and bills of materials in SolidWorks with a high level of accuracy, completeness, and revision discipline.
- Support equipment qualification and validation activities,
- Contribute to functional specifications of externally designed manufacturing equipment.
- Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, software, controls, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to develop integrated systems that meet performance, reliability, safety, and compliance requirements.
- Participate in and lead design reviews with a focus on design robustness, manufacturability, maintainability, risk mitigation, validation support, and readiness for release.
- Support equipment FAT, SAT, commissioning, troubleshooting, and post-installation performance investigations.
- Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance stack-ups, failure analysis, root cause investigations, and design for manufacturability/assembly assessments.
Note there is a line break after "Support equipment qualification and validation activities," maybe missing period; we keep as is.
Now Requirements (Required Qualifications):
"Requires a Baccalaureate degree and minimum of 4 years of relevant experience OR Master's degree with a minimum of 2 years relevant experience OR PhD with 0 years relevant experience.
Experience in machine design, automation, manufacturing equipment, or capital equipment development.
Advanced SolidWorks proficiency, including complex assemblies, detailed mechanical drawings, and formal design documentation."
We should keep as bullet list or paragraph? Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we will list each as li.
Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications):
List:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Experience with automation systems, robotics, motion control, pneumatics, vision systems, or mechatronics.

- For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
Note that last bullet about foreign degree is actually a requirement? It's under Preferred? It appears after Preferred Qualifications? Actually it's after Preferred Qualifications bullet list? It says "For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required." This seems like a requirement, but it's placed after Preferred Qualifications. We'll keep it under Qualifications (Preferred) as it's part of that block.
Now Benefits section: from "Benefits & Compensation" paragraph.
We need to extract benefits details:
"Medtronic offers a competitive Salary and flexible Benefits Package A commitment to our employees lives at the core of our values. We recognize their contributions.
