Senior Fluid and Propulsion Design Engineer – Lunar Permanence
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (mission, description). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (list). Desired (maybe Skills?). Benefits (list). Pay (Base Pay Range). Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Skills? Could combine Desired as Skills? The posting has "Desired Familiarity..." etc. That could be Skills section. Also "Qualifications" includes required qualifications. We'll separate Required Qualifications and Desired Skills? The instruction says use headings: Qualifications, Skills. We'll put required qualifications under Qualifications heading, desired under Skills heading. Also include Benefits heading. Pay heading with base pay ranges. Also include maybe "About the role" heading with the introductory paragraphs. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: Application Close Date, EEO, etc. Also remove "Culture Statement", "Export Control Regulations", "Background Check Required", etc. Also remove "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Affirmative Action and Disability Accommodation". Also remove "Application Close Date". Also remove "Don’t meet all desired requirements?" maybe keep as part of culture? It's boilerplate? It's encouraging to apply; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to encouraging. Might keep? Safer to remove as it's generic encouragement. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Don’t meet all desired requirements?" is more of a encouragement but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal; it's a statement encouraging applications. Might keep? It's not a standard heading; it's a paragraph. Could keep under About the role? It's about applying. Might be considered boilerplate but not clearly. I'd keep it as part of About the role? It's about encouraging to apply; maybe keep. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the mission statements, role description, responsibilities list, qualifications list, desired skills list, benefits list, pay ranges. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrases? We can keep them as is but format as
or
but we can keep as one
with the whole text. However it's long; we could break into multiple
for readability but not required. We'll keep as
. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's construct:
