We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the description and produce sections: About the role? The description includes "General Description" then bullet-like sentences. Could treat as About the role. Then Responsibilities? Many responsibilities listed. Could group under Responsibilities. Also maybe Qualifications (Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities). Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Not present. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split into Education, Experience, Skills). But we must only include sections when there is real specific content. We can combine Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills/Abilities under Qualifications. Or separate sections: Education, Experience, Skills. The instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Qualifications for education+experience, and Skills for knowledge/skills. Or we could use Requirements for experience/education. Let's decide: Use About the role (general description). Responsibilities (list of duties). Qualifications (education + experience). Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities). No Benefits/Pay/Schedule. We need to use

for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list each duty as
. For qualifications maybe list education and experience as
. For skills list each skill as
. Use
for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each sentence as content. We must not repeat job title. No duplication. Let's extract content. General Description sentences: "Provide advance product and manufacturing design support to IAC manufacturing facilities, IAC product design team, and OEM to assure manufacturing feasibility and robust processes are driven into product design from a secondary tool perspective" "Assist IAC plants in the development of RFQ, quote reviews/vetting, sourcing decision, and technical discussions with IAC management & OEM’s." "Assist in optimizing manufacturing efficiency and quality standards through the implementation of improved processes, materials, methods, and facilities." "Support manufacturing facility" "Manage activities / others related to the tool design, construction, budget and timing of secondary machine / fixture builds for new program launches." "Provide tooling leadership to project teams to support customer needs" "Manage secondary machine / fixture build activities with suppliers to meet IAC program timing, cost and quality objectives." Then "Engineering Leadership" heading content: "Lead, develop, and mentor a team of product engineers and technical professionals." "Establish engineering priorities and resource plans aligned with business objectives." "Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement." "Support talent development, succession planning, and employee engagement initiatives." "Drive technical problem-solving utilizing structured methodologies." Then "Product Development": "Direct product engineering activities throughout the product lifecycle, including concept development, feasibility assessments, design reviews, validation, launch, and production support." "Ensure designs meet customer specifications, regulatory requirements, manufacturing capabilities, and cost objectives." "Oversee design validation plans, testing activities, and engineering sign-offs." "Lead engineering change management processes and product optimization efforts." "Support advanced engineering and innovation initiatives to enhance product performance and competitiveness." Then "Program and Launch Management": "Partner with Program Management to ensure engineering deliverables are completed on schedule and within budget." "Identify technical risks and implement mitigation plans." "Support APQP activities, including DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and launch readiness assessments." "Provide engineering leadership during new product launches and major engineering changes." "Ensure lessons learned are captured and incorporated into future programs." Then "Customer Interface": "Serve as the primary engineering contact for assigned customers." "Participate in customer design reviews, technical discussions, and program status meetings." "Address customer concerns, warranty issues, and product quality concerns through root cause analysis and corrective action implementation." "Support business development activities by providing technical expertise during customer quotations and product development discussions." Then "Cross-Functional Collaboration": "Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Operations, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Tooling, and Commercial teams to achieve business objectives." "Support cost reduction, value engineering, and continuous improvement initiatives." "Collaborate with suppliers on component development and technical requirements." "Ensure effective communication and alignment across global and regional stakeholders." Then "Quality and Compliance": "Ensure compliance with customer-specific requirements, industry standards, and internal engineering procedures." "Support IATF 16949, ISO, safety, and regulatory compliance activities." "Participate in customer audits and technical reviews." "Promote product reliability, durability, and manufacturability throughout development and production." Then "Financial And Strategic Responsibilities": "Support engineering budget development and resource planning." "Drive productivity improvements and engineering efficiency initiatives." "Evaluate emerging technologies and market trends to support future product strategies." "Contribute to strategic planning and organizational improvement initiatives." Then "Position Specific Requirements (PSR)" content: "Champion the preproduction machine run-offs and approval processes to assure prompt PPAP based quoted cycle times and OEE’s" "Participate in cost negations pertaining to tool and engineering change costs" "Support pre-production machine start up at IAC Manufacturing plants during the PPAP process" "Provide technical support to IAC Manufacturing plants on troubleshooting existing manufacturing processes and/or product lines to achieve customer quality standards and profit objectives." "Assist in optimizing manufacturing efficiency and quality standards through the implementation of improved processes, materials, methods, and facilities." "Ensure projects are executed with the proper safety devices per OSHA, NFPA, ANSI and IAC Standards" Then "Physical Requirements": "Must have flexibility to work at and travel to IAC plant locations and supplier locations." "20%-30% of your time will be spent traveling supporting position requirements." Then "Education (4) yr ME Bachelor's Degree (Preferred)" -> Education. Then "Experience 7–10 years’ experience in machine / fixture design, construction/build, & follow-up for interior trim automotive components (Floor Consoles, Instrument Panels. Hard Trim, or Doors).Automotive experience with past programs / interior trim launches Ability to resolve issues quickly and to recognize and resolve threats to program objections" Then "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities": "Must have good negotiating skills. Position involves reviewing and establishing tool costs with suppliers and OEM cost analyst" "Must be able to work independent of direct supervision, especially when away from the office" "Must be able to work as a member of the launch team, be proficient at working with all levels of the organization, while maintaining a sense of individual accountability and responsibility" "Automotive experience with past programs / interior trim launches" "Excellent time management and project management skills." "Must have good written and oral skill sets, be proficient with Microsoft Office and other computer skills and the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously while managing a team" We need to avoid duplication: Some sentences repeat like "Assist in optimizing manufacturing efficiency and quality standards through the implementation of improved processes, materials, methods, and facilities." appears twice (once in General Description and again in PSR). We should keep only one occurrence? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate identical sentences. Let's identify duplicates. Duplicate sentences: - "Assist in optimizing manufacturing efficiency and quality standards through the implementation of improved processes, materials, methods, and facilities." appears in General Description (third bullet) and also in PSR (second last bullet). We'll keep one. - "Automotive experience with past programs / interior trim launches" appears in Experience bullet and also in Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (near end). Duplicate. Keep one. - Also "Support pre-production machine start up at IAC Manufacturing plants during the PPAP process" appears only once. - "Provide technical support to IAC Manufacturing plants on troubleshooting existing manufacturing processes and/or product lines to achieve customer quality standards and profit objectives." appears only once. - "Champion the preproduction machine run-offs and approval processes to assure prompt PPAP based quoted cycle times and OEE’s" appears only once. - "Participate in cost negations pertaining to tool and engineering change costs" appears only once. - "Ensure projects are executed with the proper safety devices per OSHA, NFPA, ANSI and IAC Standards" appears only once. - "Must have flexibility to work at and travel to IAC plant locations and supplier locations." appears only once. - "20%-30% of your time will be spent traveling supporting position requirements." appears only once. - Education line: "Education (4) yr ME Bachelor's Degree (Preferred)" appears only once. - Experience line: "Experience 7–10 years’ experience in machine / fixture design, construction/build, & follow-up for interior trim automotive components (Floor Consoles, Instrument Panels. Hard Trim, or Doors).Automotive experience with past programs / interior trim launches Ability to resolve issues quickly to recognize and resolve threats to program objections" Actually the line includes "Ability to resolve issues quickly and to recognize and resolve threats to program objections". We'll keep. - Knowledge/Skills/Abilities lines: we have multiple. Now we need to structure sections. About the role: Could be the General Description paragraph(s). We'll combine the general description sentences into a
maybe multiple sentences. Or we could make a
