We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes intro paragraphs. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Applications for this position will be accepted until Sept. 14, 2026" (application instruction). Also remove "Export Control Requirements..." maybe not needed? It's not a section heading but could be considered legal/EEO? It's about export control, maybe keep? It's not boilerplate? It's a requirement but not EEO. Might keep as part of Requirements? But we can incorporate into Requirements paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about role, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, benefits, pay range, etc.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given: $132,600 - $207,000. So we can include Pay section with that.
Benefits: they described 401(k) match, student loan match, health insurance etc. So we can include Benefits section.
Schedule: they mention "This position is for 1st shift". So we can include Schedule section with that.
Qualifications: Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience) and Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience). Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide mapping.
Probably: About the role = introductory paragraph about Boeing and the role. Responsibilities = list of responsibilities. Requirements = Basic Qualifications (required). Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications (desired). Skills maybe could be omitted if not specific; but we could include skills from responsibilities? Might be redundant. Better to omit Skills if no specific skill list beyond responsibilities. But we could include skills like C, C++, FORTRAN, Python, Matlab/Simulink etc. However those are already in responsibilities/qualifications. To avoid thin sections, maybe we skip Skills.
Pay: include pay range.
Benefits: include benefits description.
Schedule: include shift.
We must not include headings with empty content.
Now produce HTML fragment: use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.

Now produce HTML fragment: use for each section heading, then content:
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract content.
Intro: "At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC) Engineer to join our MQ-25 Flight Engineering team. This role will support the unmanned aircraft’s new product design, development, integration, and flight test with opportunities to lead in areas of flight path definition, mission planning, inner loop flight controls, air data processing, subsystem control, or redundancy and contingency management. Join us and be a part of the world’s first team to productionize the first unmanned, carrier-based aircraft, where you can build something better for yourself, for our customers, and for the world."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Position Responsibilities:" after colon.
List:
- Define Guidance, Navigation, and Control mission requirements and ensure requirement quality, traceability, and verification at the system and down to the component level
- Lead design reviews, analyses, simulations and component/system testing to ensure delivery of products that meet or exceed customer requirements and expectations
- Use multidisciplinary model data (aero, mass properties, propulsion, etc.) to develop and refine a complex, nonlinear, 6 degrees of freedom simulation model
- Use various software languages, C, C++, FORTRAN, Python, etc. to develop, implement, integrate, and test vehicle models, controllers, and resulting SW
- Design guidance and flight control laws using modern linear control design techniques and tools to achieve design and performance targets
- Use advanced nonlinear analysis to assess and refine the control law design
- Perform model validation against test data to inform and improve the accuracy of the simulation environment
- Develop supplementary controllers, limiters, mode logic, redundancy management, and signal shaping to properly bound the performance within all areas of the flight envelope
- Work with flight simulation and Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) software engineers to incorporate control laws into the operational flight program
- Define, analyze, and maintain Air Data sensor processing, Computational Fluid Dynamics based source error correction, and redundancy management
- Lead or participate in DO-178B/C related software verification activities.

Additional info: "This position has been identified as a virtual opportunity and will not require the selected candidate to relocate." Could be part of About the role or maybe a note. Not a section.
Conflict of Interest, Drug Free Workplace: these are legal/EEO? Might be considered boilerplate; we should remove? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Conflict of Interest and Drug Free Workplace could be considered legal. Probably remove.
