We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or 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: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "Amentum is a global leader...". That's about company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role and context. The posting says: "We are seeking a Senior Machine Design Engineer to join Amentum’s Advanced Solutions Group. Candidates may be based at any one of our offices in Tullahoma, TN; Farmington Hills, MI; or Greenville, SC. Our Advanced Solutions Group delivers the design, construction, and operation of unique and complex research and development facilities across the nuclear, automotive, motorsports, defense, and aerospace industries. Our team has supported an impressive range of clients, including Audi, Boeing, BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, Honda, General Motors, NASA, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, Volkswagen, and organizations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Most of your designs will be unique, and you will usually be working on several projects at one time in a dynamic, challenging, and even fun environment. Many designs are “blank sheet of paper,” with few analogs or comparisons. This position will provide you with an exciting opportunity to lead and manage Machine Design projects as part of a multi-discipline team of professionals. We are looking for a Machine Design engineer who will work to ensure client satisfaction and deliver key Machine Design projects within scope, budget, and schedule. You should be a self-motivated professional with at least 15+ years of progressive Machine Design experience." That's a good chunk for "About the role" maybe. Then "Essential Responsibilities:" bullet list. Then "Required Qualifications:" bullet list. Then "Preferred Qualifications:" bullet list. Then "Description of Work Environment:" maybe part of Schedule? Actually schedule: travel 1-10 days per quarter. That's schedule info. Also work environment: inside-office environment. That could be part of Schedule? Or maybe we can include a "Work Environment" but not required heading; we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put work environment under Schedule? Not exactly. Maybe we can include schedule heading for travel info, and maybe mention work environment in About the role or Responsibilities? Could add a short paragraph under About the role. "Compensation Details: $140,000 - $180,000" => Pay section. "Benefits Overview:" list => Benefits section. We also have "Original Posting: 09/28/2026 - Until Filled" etc. That's metadata, can be dropped. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. So we will include sections only if we have real content. Thus sections: - About the role: include the introductory paragraph(s) describing role, location, group, etc. - Responsibilities: list from Essential Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The spec says we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate headings. But we have both Required and Preferred Qualifications. Could treat Required Qualifications as "Requirements" and Preferred Qualifications as "Qualifications" or "Skills". However they also have a separate "Skills" heading allowed. We could put skills under Skills heading: list of technical skills like GD&T, FEA, etc. But the Required Qualifications already list many skills. Might be better to follow the spec: Use headings as appropriate. We have Required Qualifications (must-have) and Preferred Qualifications (nice-to-have). Could map Required Qualifications to "Requirements" heading, Preferred Qualifications to "Qualifications" heading (or Skills). But the spec says we can use Requirements and Qualifications headings. So we can have both. Thus: - Requirements: list of required qualifications (US citizenship, BS, 15+ years, leading others, design for small-quantity fabrication, design for assembly, knowledge of machine design elements, mechanical engineering analytical skills, FEA static, GD&T expertise, scope/schedule/budget management). - Qualifications: list of preferred qualifications (3D CAD Inventor/Solidworks, FEA thermal etc., ASME B&PV Section VII, Fluid Power, basic instrumentation, installation support, design for fiber-composites, adjacent industries maybe). Could also include "Adjacent Industries" as part of qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like GD&T, FEA, etc. But we already have them in requirements/qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we can omit Skills heading if content overlaps. The spec says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Required and Preferred into one "Requirements" section? But they'd be separate categories. However we could have "Requirements" for required, and "Qualifications" for preferred. That's two sections. - Benefits: list. - Pay: compensation range. - Schedule: travel 1-10 days per quarter, work mainly inside-office environment. We should not include headings with empty content. Now we need to format:

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. First, About the role: prose paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

    with line breaks? Better to keep as one

    containing the description. Might be long but okay. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep details like locations, client list, etc. Let's write About the role paragraph: "Amentum is a global leader in advanced engineering and innovative solutions, supporting critical missions across defense, intelligence, energy, and civilian sectors. Our people are our competitive advantage, driven by purpose, collaboration, and a commitment to delivering excellence for our customers and communities. We are seeking a Senior Machine Design Engineer to join Amentum’s Advanced Solutions Group. Candidates may be based at any one of our offices in Tullahoma, TN; Farmington Hills, MI; or Greenville, SC. Our Advanced Solutions Group delivers the design, construction, and operation of unique and complex research and development facilities across the nuclear, automotive, motorsports, defense, and aerospace industries. Our team has supported an impressive range of clients, including Audi, Boeing, BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, Honda, General Motors, NASA, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, Volkswagen, and organizations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

We are looking for a Machine Design engineer who will work to ensure client satisfaction and deliver key Machine Design projects within scope, budget, and schedule. You should be a self-motivated professional with at least 15+ years of progressive Machine Design experience." That seems to capture all. Now Responsibilities: list from Essential Responsibilities. Essential Responsibilities text: "Projects are often complex and multi-discipline, and Senior Engineers in E&P have ownership of the technical, schedule, and budget performance of the work assigned to them, and are expected to operate with general instructions in an independent mode. The Senior Engineer: - Independently plans, schedules, conducts or coordinates detailed phases of engineering work through the selection and adaptation or modification of techniques, procedures, and criteria. - Analyzes complex features of the work and applies machine design principles and practices, or devises new approaches in problem solutions. - Thoroughly reviews all results from assigned tasks and determine if outputs are complete, correct, integrated with project objectives, and adequately documented. - Develops and presents technical reports, 3D concepts, presentations, and calculations to project management and Clients. - Coordinates and formally reviews the work of others for techniques and technical approach. - Evaluates and defines interfaces with other disciplines, working closely with structural, mechanical process, controls and instrumentation, and aerodynamics/fluid dynamics engineers. - Leads design team to produce complete design packages, including detailed drawings, calculations, and specifications, as required." We need to convert to

    • . The first sentence maybe part of intro; we could include as a

      before list? The spec says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So we can have a short prose intro then list. But we could also incorporate the first sentence as a list item? Better to keep as prose then list. Thus:
