We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Job Overview" etc. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove lines like "Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements?" and the inclusive statement? That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "Mainspring can sometimes be flexible enough..." etc. Also remove "This compensation and benefits information is based on..." etc. Also remove "We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools..." etc. Also remove "If you would like more information about how your data is processed..." etc. Also remove "This position is onsite at our Menlo Park HQ." maybe keep as part of schedule? Actually schedule: onsite. Could be schedule section? The posting says "This position is onsite at our Menlo Park HQ." That's schedule info (location). We could include a Schedule section with "Onsite at Menlo Park HQ". But we must not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does state onsite, so we can include Schedule. Pay: The posting mentions salary adjusted to reflect local market conditions, base salary range not given explicitly. It says "Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits." No specific numbers. It says "The salary will be adjusted to reflect local market conditions based on employee location as well as the experience of the employee." No explicit range. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (pre-IPO stock options + benefits). It does not give explicit benefit details beyond that. It says "Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits." That's a statement about benefits. So we can include Benefits section with that line. Pay: It mentions salary will be adjusted, but no numbers or range. It says "The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors..." but no actual range given. It says "New hires joining the company tend to be paid within the starting base pay range noted above, with opportunities to increase pay over time..." but no range noted above. So there is no explicit pay range. According to rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state a specific pay range or number. So we should not create Pay section. Schedule: we have onsite location. Could be schedule. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "This position is onsite at our Menlo Park HQ." That's schedule/location. So we can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: we have "Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits." That's a benefit statement. So we can include Benefits section with that. Now we need sections: About the role (Job Overview), Responsibilities (Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (Minimum Job Requirements), Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required (maybe Skills), Qualifications? Could combine. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with content. We have About the role: Job Overview paragraph. Responsibilities: Duties and Responsibilities list. Requirements: Minimum Job Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications: Could be knowledge, skills, abilities? Actually "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required" could be Skills section. Qualifications maybe could be education/experience? But we already used Requirements for that. Could treat Qualifications as maybe "Completed degree(s) from an accredited institution that are above the minimum education requirement may be substituted for experience on a year for year basis" but that's part of requirements. Might be redundant. Better to follow: Requirements = education/experience. Skills = Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required. Qualifications maybe we could omit if no distinct content. But we could put "Qualifications" as same as Requirements? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to use headings exactly as given if we include them. We could include Requirements and Skills, and Benefits, Schedule, About the role. Omit Qualifications if no distinct content. But we need to check if there is any content for Qualifications beyond requirements. The posting includes "Minimum Job Requirements" and then "Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required". No separate Qualifications. So we can omit Qualifications heading. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to format lists with
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

    . We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate. We need to extract the substantive content. Let's parse the posting. First paragraph: "About Mainspring Mainspring Energy manufactures and delivers fuel-flexible, low-emissions local power solutions that rapidly add new capacity and deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable electric power. The company began commercial shipments of its Mainspring Linear Generators in 2020 and today has hundreds of megawatts in advanced development and field operations for leading Fortune 500 companies, data centers, and utilities. Mainspring also partners with global energy leaders including AEP, NextEra Energy Resources, Schneider Electric, and more. The core values that ground our work, guide our decisions, and connect us together: Pragmatic Optimism Excellence without Ego Proactive Collaboration" That's about the company. Could be part of About the role? The "Job Overview" follows: "Job OverviewMainspring Energy is searching for a motivated Sr. Machinist capable of supporting the needs of our engineering development lab at our Menlo Park facility. In this position you will work with a small team and manage the daily workload and respond to projects needing precision machining in metals and composite materials. This position produces complex R&D prototype machined parts and components by programming, setting up, and operating computer numerical control, vertical mills, lathes, and traditional machines. Maintains quality and safety standards and maintains supplies and equipment." Thus About the role could combine company description and job overview? The instruction: About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we should put the job overview content under About the role. The company description maybe also relevant but could be considered part of About the role? It's about the company, not the role. But we could include it as part of About the role to preserve substantive info. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the company description. It's not boilerplate. So include it in About the role. Thus About the role

    containing both company description and job overview. Now Responsibilities: list of duties. Let's extract the bullet points from "Duties and Responsibilities". The text after that heading is a long paragraph with sentences separated by spaces. We need to turn each duty into a

  • . The duties are: - Oversees and coordinates all day-to-day operational and support activities of the shop, ensures that work production meets the objectives, specifications, and standards, and that all applicable operating policies and procedures are adhered to - Operate standard equipment, i.e. vertical milling machines, band saw, drill press, and measuring tools to produce prototype parts - Consult with engineers regarding design, capacity and purpose, and types of materials to be used for fabrication - Analyze written specifications, drawings, rough sketches, and oral instructions to plan layout and determine sequence of operations. - Plans machining by studying work orders, engineering plans, materials, specifications, drawings, reference planes, locations of surfaces, and machining parameters; interprets geometric dimensions and tolerances - Works with engineers to evaluate processes and recommends changes or modifications for efficiency and adaptability to setup and production - May review, evaluate, and make recommendations for purchases such as supplies, materials, and/or equipment - May supervise the work of employees engaged in shop production and production support activities, to include recommendations for hiring, termination, performance evaluation, training, work allocation, and problem resolution - Maintains current knowledge with respect to relevant state-of-the-art technology, equipment, and/or systems - Performs miscellaneous job-related duties as assigned - Produces custom tooling and fixture design as needed for complex prototypes We need to keep each as separate
  • . Ensure we preserve the exact wording. Now Requirements: Minimum Job Requirements: "High school diploma or GED; at least 7 years of experience directly related to the duties and responsibilities specified Completed degree(s) from an accredited institution that are above the minimum education requirement may be substituted for experience on a year for year basis" We need to turn into list? It's not a list but could be a

    . However instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a requirement list (two items). Could be made into
      • High school diploma or GED; at least 7 years of experience directly related to the duties and responsibilities specified
      • Completed degree(s) from an accredited institution that are above the minimum education requirement may be substituted for experience on a year for year basis
      • . That seems appropriate. Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required. The text: "Experience with MasterCAM, 5 axis programming Ability to operate standard and specialized equipment to produce prototype parts Ability to perform standard shop computations Skill in production of parts with extremely close tolerances Ability to perform experimental set ups and complex machining procedures Work in a collaborative environment Ability to read, understand, follow, and enforce safety procedures Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of individuals in a diverse community Leadership skills Ability to supervise and train employees on basic machine operations Working knowledge of geometric dimensions and tolerances Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Solid Works and/or related CAD software Knowledge of American National Standards Institute - ANSI" We need to split into list items. Each sentence separated by spaces. Let's parse: - Experience with MasterCAM, 5 axis programming - Ability to operate standard and specialized equipment to produce prototype parts - Ability to perform standard shop computations - Skill in production of parts with extremely close tolerances - Ability to perform experimental set ups and complex machining procedures - Work in a collaborative environment - Ability to read, understand, follow, and enforce safety procedures - Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to effectively communicate with a wide range of individuals in a diverse community - Leadership skills - Ability to supervise and train employees on basic machine operations - Working knowledge of geometric dimensions and tolerances - Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Solid Works and/or related CAD software - Knowledge of American National Standards Institute - ANSI Make each
      • . Now Benefits: "Along with the base salary, Mainspring offers pre-IPO stock options + benefits." We could make a

        or

        • . Since it's a single statement, use

          . Schedule: "This position is onsite at our Menlo Park HQ." Make

          . Now we must not include any boilerplate like EEO, AI, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we don't include "Does your experience not meet all of our posted requirements?" etc. Now output HTML fragment: start with

          About the role

          then

          ...

          etc. We need to ensure we don't include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine company description and job overview. Company description: "Mainspring Energy manufactures and delivers fuel-flexible, low-emissions local power solutions that rapidly add new capacity and deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable electric power. The company began commercial shipments of its Mainspring Linear Generators
