We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to extract content from posting. We need to decide which sections have real specific content. Let's parse the posting: Company Background and Summary: description of company, mission, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Background and Summary" is about company, not role. But we can treat as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have: - Company Background and Summary: description of Votaw Precision Technologies. Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can use "About the role" to describe the role itself, but we have a separate description of role later. The company background could be placed under "About the role"? Might be okay but better to have a section "About the company"? Not in list. The instruction says use those headings as examples, but we can use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. We can also use other headings if needed? Probably stick to those. We have content: - Role description: "We are seeking a highly analytical Industrial Engineer to drive efficiency in our AS9100-certified CNC machine shop. In this role, you will own the production schedule, maximize spindle utilization across our multi-axis mills and lathes, and ensure strict adherence to aerospace quality and traceability requirements. This role is responsible for improving factory throughput, validating labor standards and routings, identifying bottlenecks and providing resolutions, building utilization and capacity models required to support disciplined growth, reliable customer delivery, improved asset utilization, support tracking of machine maintenance, and supporting automated job scheduling. The ideal candidate understands high-mix, low-volume aerospace work, knows how to schedule around First Article Inspection (FAI) bottlenecks, and can optimize tooling and fixture usage to reduce changeover times. This position is ideal for an individual who is highly organized, attentive to detail, has the ability to streamline processes, holds keen project & priority management, schedule conflict resolution, presenting and communicating effectively in meetings." That's role description and responsibilities. Then "Essential Functions" list bullet points (though not bullet but sentences separated by periods). We can treat as list. Then "Qualification and Skills" list. Then "Education & Experience" list. Then "Preferred Qualifications" list. Then "Performance Metrics" list. Then "Personal Attributes" list. Then "Work Conditions" list. Then "Additional Requirements" includes ITAR and salary note. We need to decide which sections to output. We have: - About the role: could include company background and role summary. - Responsibilities: essential functions. - Requirements: maybe education & experience + qualification and skills? But we have separate Qualification and Skills, Education & Experience, Preferred Qualifications. We could combine Qualification and Skills + Education & Experience into Requirements? Or we could have separate sections: Qualifications, Skills, Requirements. The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as separate possible headings. So we can split. Thus: - About the role: company background + role overview. - Responsibilities: essential functions. - Requirements: Education & Experience (maybe plus core qualifications? but we have Qualification and Skills separate). Let's treat Requirements as Education & Experience. - Qualifications: Qualification and Skills (core qualifications). - Skills: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Or we could treat Skills as Preferred Qualifications (skills). But we also have Performance Metrics, Personal Attributes, Work Conditions, Additional Requirements. We need to include sections only if they have real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific content for many. We need to avoid repeating job title. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We should remove Equal Opportunity Employer line. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content: Company Background and Summary: "Votaw Precision Technologies is a trusted leader in the manufacturing of complex precision components, assemblies, and systems for the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. With a strong reputation for technical excellence, quality craftsmanship, and on-time delivery, Votaw supports some of the world’s most demanding programs through its advanced manufacturing capabilities.

Role summary (first paragraph after that): "We are seeking a highly analytical Industrial Engineer to drive efficiency in our AS9100-certified CNC machine shop. In this role, you will own the production schedule, maximize spindle utilization across our multi-axis mills and lathes, and ensure strict adherence to aerospace quality and traceability requirements.

(Remove EEO boilerplate) We should remove the EEO line. Also we should remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates. Now decide sections: - About the role: combine Company Background and Summary + role summary (first paragraph). Could be two paragraphs. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Education & Experience (maybe also core qualifications? but we have Qualification and Skills separate). We'll follow the list: Requirements = Education & Experience. - Qualifications: Qualification and Skills (core qualifications). - Skills: Preferred Qualifications (these are skills/qualifications). Could also be "Skills". We'll treat as Skills. - Benefits: Not present. No benefits info. So omit. - Pay: Not specific; only statement about salary determined case-by-case. That's vague; not a specific pay range. According to instruction, do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis..." That's not a specific pay. So we should omit Pay. - Schedule: Not specific; only mention ability to work outside normal hours. That's not a schedule description. Could be considered schedule? But it's not a defined schedule (e.g., full-time, shift). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state ability to work outside normal working day to meet deadlines. That's somewhat schedule info but not a defined schedule. Might be considered schedule? I'd say it's not a
