We need to output HTML fragment with sections for 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. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key parts: Intro paragraph: "To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale—faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology." Then "Group/Division The Legal Compliance Organization (LCO) provides legal guidance..." This is about the division. Then "What You'll Do In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. The Senior Import Specialist is a key member of the Global Trade Compliance team responsible for ensuring compliant, efficient, and scalable import and export operations with a primary focus on U.S. imports. This role is responsible for complex tariff classification, import compliance controls, analytics, audit support, process design, and cross-functional trade compliance initiatives. The position partners closely with Legal, Logistics, Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering, Product Management, Customs Brokers, and regional trade teams to standardize processes, improve data quality, implement automation opportunities, and maintain compliance with customs and export control regulations to ensure compliance." Then "Key Responsibilities" bullet list. Then "Preferred Qualifications:" bullet list. Then "Minimum Qualifications" bullet list. Then "About KLA" paragraph. Then "Total Rewards Base Pay Range: $77,800.00 - $114,133.00 Annually Primary Location: USA-MI-Ann Arbor-KLA KLA’s total rewards package for employees may also include participation in performance incentive programs and eligibility for additional benefits including but not limited to: medical, dental, vision, life, and other voluntary benefits, 401(K) including company matching, employee stock purchase program (ESPP), student debt assistance, tuition reimbursement program, development and career growth opportunities and programs, financial planning benefits, wellness benefits including an employee assistance program (EAP), paid time off and paid company holidays, and family care and bonding leave. Interns are eligible for some of the benefits listed. Our pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed reflects the pay for this position in the primary location identified in this posting. Actual pay depends on several factors, including state minimum pay wage rates, location, job-related skills, experience, and relevant education level or training. We are committed to complying with all applicable federal and state minimum wage requirements where applicable. If applicable, your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range for your preferred location during the hiring process." Then "Use of AI Statement" etc. That's boilerplate (legal). Should be removed. Then "Equal Opportunity Statement" also boilerplate, remove. Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe combine intro and group/division?), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe list of skills from Preferred Qualifications?), Benefits (benefits list), Pay (pay range), Schedule (maybe not present; no schedule info). So we should not include Schedule if no content. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". So only include sections where we have real content. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as they appear, but we can format them into

or

  • . Must not lose any detail. We need to decide what goes where. Section headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content: - About the role: Could include the introductory paragraphs about KLA, the role description, group/division, what you'll do. That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities" bullet list. - Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications (doctorate, master's, bachelor's with years). Also maybe include "Minimum Qualifications" as requirements. - Qualifications: Could be Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: Could extract skill items from Preferred Qualifications: e.g., "Solid understanding of U.S. Customs regulations, tariff classification, valuation, country of origin, and import documentation.", "Experience responding to customs audits and regulatory inquiries.", "Strong project management and cross-functional leadership skills.", "Experience within semiconductor, electronics, advanced manufacturing, or other technology industries.", "LCB, CCS, CES, or similar certification preferred.", "Experience with SAP GTS, SAP, ACE reporting, or trade management systems.", "Experience crafting controls, validations, automation solutions, and exception-based monitoring.", "Sophisticated Excel skills including Power Query, Pivot Tables, and XLOOKUP.", "Ability to analyze large datasets and translate findings into business actions.", "Experience supporting workflow automation and digital transformation initiatives.", plus the list of competencies: "Import Compliance Expertise Executive Communication Process Development & Continuous Improvement Project Leadership Risk Management & Audit Readiness Data-Driven Decision Making". Those could be considered skills as well. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we should keep the bullet points as they are, maybe under Skills we list each skill as
  • . However the Preferred Qualifications already includes many of those; we could just put Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications section, and then maybe Skills could be omitted if we think it's redundant. But we need to decide if we should have both Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating many thin sections. Perhaps we can combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (or Requirements). But we have separate headings allowed; we need to use them only if we have real specific content. If we put both Qualifications and Skills, we might be splitting content thinly. Better to have Qualifications include both preferred and minimum? But we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications. So we could have: - About the role (intro + group/division + what you'll do) - Responsibilities (key responsibilities) - Requirements (minimum qualifications) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Benefits (benefits list) - Pay (pay range) We could omit Skills section because its content overlaps with Qualifications. But we need to preserve all substantive info; if we omit Skills heading, we still need to include the skill details somewhere. They are already in Preferred Qualifications, which we will put under Qualifications. So that's fine. Thus we will not include Skills heading. Schedule: no info, so omit. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Use of AI Statement", "Equal Opportunity Statement". Also remove any duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info: that includes the intro paragraphs, group/division, what you'll do, key responsibilities, preferred qualifications, minimum qualifications, about KLA, total rewards (benefits and pay). Also primary location maybe? Should we include location? It's part of Pay section maybe. The posting includes "Primary Location: USA-MI-Ann Arbor-KLA". That's location info. Should we include it? It's substantive. Where to put? Could be part of About the role or Pay. Since Pay section already mentions primary location, we can include location there. The Pay section currently: "Total Rewards Base Pay Range: $77,800.00 - $114,133.00 Annually Primary Location: USA-MI-Ann Arbor-KLA". We'll keep that as part of Pay. Now we need to format. We'll output HTML fragment:

    About the role

    ... intro paragraphs ...

    We need to combine multiple paragraphs into maybe multiple

    elements. Ensure we preserve all info. Let's extract the intro text: "To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale—faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology." Then group/division paragraph: "Group/Division The Legal Compliance Organization (LCO) provides legal guidance to further KLA’s strategic objectives and protect and preserve the company's legal, ethical and financial integrity and reputation. Drawing on expertise in corporate law, commercial law, employment law, ethics and compliance, and intellectual property, the LCO offers strategic legal counsel that is informed by a clear understanding of the company’s business objectives and knowledge of the laws and regulations relevant to the business worldwide." Then "What You'll Do" paragraph: "What You'll Do In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. The Senior Import Specialist is a key member of the Global Trade Compliance team responsible for ensuring compliant, efficient, and scalable import and export operations with a primary focus on U.S. imports. This role is responsible for complex tariff classification, import compliance controls, analytics, audit support, process design, and cross-functional trade compliance initiatives. The position partners closely with Legal, Logistics, Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering, Product Management, Customs Brokers, and regional trade teams to standardize processes, improve data quality, implement automation opportunities, and maintain compliance with customs and export control regulations to ensure compliance." We could combine these into a few

    elements. Now Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Key Responsibilities". We need to preserve each bullet. Let's list them: - Support HS/HTS classifications and support ECCN determinations for semiconductor equipment, spare parts, components, electronics, software, and related technologies. - Review and validate broker filings, customs documentation, customs values, country of origin declarations, and trade remedy applicability. - Act as a primary interface for CBP Requests for Information (CF-28/29s etc), audits, post-entry reviews, disclosures, and compliance inquiries. - Design, document, and continuously improve import/export processes, controls, SOPs, and governance procedures. - Develop exception reporting, validation controls, systemic data feeds, and compliance monitoring metrics. - Develop and maintain dashboards, compliance analytics, and exception reporting to monitor key trade compliance KPIs, identify operational and regulatory risks, and drive data-driven decision making. - Partner closely with customs brokers, freight forwarders, and external service providers to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, broker instructions, service level expectations, and established standard operating procedures. - Lead trade compliance projects, system enhancements, and automation initiatives. - Coordinate with logistics providers, customs brokers, procurement, engineering, and manufacturing teams to standardize global processes. - Support internal and external audits and conduct periodic reviews of trade compliance controls and records. - Monitor regulatory changes and present risk assessments and recommendations to senior leadership. Now Preferred Qualifications bullet list: - Solid understanding of U.S. Customs regulations, tariff classification, valuation, country of origin, and import documentation. - Experience responding to customs audits and regulatory inquiries. - Strong project management and cross-functional leadership skills. - Experience within semiconductor, electronics, advanced manufacturing, or other technology industries. - LCB, CCS, CES, or similar certification preferred. - Experience with SAP GTS, SAP, ACE reporting, or trade management systems. - Experience crafting controls, validations, automation solutions, and exception-based monitoring. - Sophisticated Excel skills including Power Query, Pivot Tables, and XLOOKUP. - Ability to analyze large datasets and translate findings into business actions. - Experience supporting workflow automation and digital transformation initiatives. - Import Compliance Expertise Executive Communication Process Development & Continuous Improvement Project Leadership Risk Management
