We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarized away detail. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Does this sound like you? Apply now..." etc. Also remove EEO paragraph, accommodation, etc. Also remove "Where required, we will provide reasonable accommodation..." etc. Also remove "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package..." maybe that is benefits info; we can keep benefits but need to extract specifics: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits. Also mention location-specific info: For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit link. That's maybe not needed but could be considered boilerplate? It's a link to benefits; maybe keep as part of Benefits section? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits description is not boilerplate; it's substantive. So we can keep it.
Pay: we have salary range: $121,100.00 - $231,000.00 annually (for jobs in Canada? Actually says For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually) $121,100.00 - $231,000.00). The posting location is Menands, New York, United States. The salary range is given for Canada? It says For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually) $121,100.00 - $231,000.00. That seems contradictory; but we have salary range info. We should include Pay section with that range. However note that it's for Canada; but we still have the range. We'll include it.
Schedule: Work model: Monday - Friday 8am - 4:30pm. Travel percentage: 5 - 10% to Ireland. So schedule section can include work hours and travel.
Now we need sections: About the role (maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe education/experience). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe technical skills). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (work hours and travel).
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are not boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Intro paragraph: "Build Our Future Together At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We are seeking an Automation Manager (Manager or Senior Manager) to join our IOPS Automation team, leading a technical team responsible for automation systems support across our manufacturing and support areas. In this role, you will manage team performance, coordinate deviation investigations, deliver large-scale improvement projects, and ensure automation systems remain compliant and reliable — while collaborating with Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Engineering, and IT infrastructure teams. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide."
- Location & Work model: "When & Where Location: Menands, New York, United States Work model: Monday - Friday 8am - 4:30pm Travel percentage: 5 - 10% to Ireland"
- Responsibilities (list under "Discover Your Role"): bullet points:
1. Lead and develop a technical automation team, managing performance, development, and results while empowering team members to deliver under demanding timelines and situations
2. Provide technical automation systems support to manufacturing and support areas; coordinate investigations of manufacturing deviations and anomalies related to automation systems, IT infrastructure, and software
3. Lead projects related to corrective action and systems performance improvement; deliver on large-scope projects requiring analysis of business metrics including production, performance, and operational data
4. Provide technical review of lifecycle documentation, software testing, and protocols; lead the team in supporting Quality Assurance with automated system test plan approval for change control and validation projects
5. Create, maintain, and approve SOPs and Software Lifecycle Documentation; develop and edit design documents, technical evaluations, and test plans in accordance with cGMP and GAMP 5 guidelines
6. Manage and maintain project portfolio and work metrics, departmental data, and technical reports; communicate effectively across engineering staff, cross-functional departments, and management
7. Design, configure, and troubleshoot networked systems; balance changing priorities and increasing workload through timely decision-making and effective delegation
- Requirements (under "This Role Requires"): bullet points:
- BS in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- Manager: 7+ years of experience in the design, configuration, administration, and management of software, databases, and computerized systems
- Senior Manager: 8+ years of relevant experience; level determined based on qualifications
- Prior experience in a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility preferred
- Solid understanding of PI Historian and Rockwell applications; familiarity with PLC, HMI, historian, and product testing software strongly preferred
- Highly skilled in developing and editing Software Lifecycle Documentation, design documents, technical evaluations, and test plans following cGMP and GAMP 5 guidelines also preferred
We might separate Requirements (education + years experience) and Qualifications (preferred experience). But we can combine as needed. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
About the role: likely the introductory paragraph describing the role and team.
Responsibilities: the list under Discover Your Role.
Requirements: maybe the BS degree and years experience (Manager/Senior Manager). Could also include prior experience in pharma manufacturing preferred? That's more qualification.
Qualifications: maybe the preferred experience (pharma manufacturing, PI Historian, Rockwell, PLC/HMI, etc.)
Skills: maybe the technical skills: developing/editing Software Lifecycle Documentation, design documents, technical evaluations, test plans following cGMP and GAMP 5 guidelines.
But we have overlapping. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse:
- BS in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (requirement)
- Manager: 7+ years experience ... (requirement)
- Senior Manager: 8+ years relevant experience (requirement)
- Prior experience in a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility preferred (qualification)
- Solid understanding of PI Historian and Rockwell applications; familiarity with PLC, HMI, historian, and product testing software strongly preferred (qualification/skill)
- Highly skilled in developing and editing Software Lifecycle Documentation, design documents, technical evaluations, and test plans following cGMP and GAMP 5 guidelines also preferred (skill)
We could put Requirements: BS degree + years experience. Qualifications: preferred pharma experience, PI Historian/Rockwell familiarity, PLC/HMI/historian/product testing software. Skills: developing/editing Software Lifecycle Documentation etc.
But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are predefined; we can omit sections if no real content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, preferred qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That would be fewer sections. However they listed Qualifications and Skills as possible headings; we can omit if we fold content into Requirements. But we must ensure we don't lose any substantive info. We can include all under Requirements.
But we also need to include Skills maybe as separate if we have distinct skill set. However we can incorporate skill bullet points under Requirements as well.
Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. We'll omit Qualifications and Skills as separate headings, folding their content into Requirements.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate: remove EEO paragraph, accommodation, background checks, link to benefits (maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's a link for additional info; could be considered navigation? It's a link to benefits page; might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive info about where to find more benefits. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to benefits is not exactly navigation; it's a reference for more info. Might be okay to keep but it's not essential. Safer to omit? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive info about where to find more benefits. It's not boilerplate; it's a reference. I'd keep it as part of Benefits section maybe as a note.
Also remove "Does this sound like you? Apply now to take your first step towards living the Regeneron Way!" That's application instruction; remove.
Also remove "We are committed to building a workplace with an inclusive culture." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
Also remove the long EEO list; remove.
Also remove "Where required, we will provide reasonable accommodation..." etc; remove.
Also remove "Where necessary, we disclose salary ranges..." etc; maybe keep part about salary range? Actually that paragraph is about disclosing salary ranges; we already have salary range; we can keep the salary range but remove the surrounding explanatory text.
Also remove "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits." That's benefits; keep.
Also remove "For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit https://careers.regeneron.com/en/working-at-regeneron/total-rewards/. For other locations, additional information will be provided during the recruitment process." This is maybe navigation/link; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive info about where to get more details. I'd keep it as part of Benefits maybe as a note.
Also remove "If you have any questions, please speak with your recruiter." That's application instruction; remove.
Also remove "Please be advised that at Regeneron, we believe we do our best work when we are together..." etc; that's about on-site expectations; could be considered boilerplate? It's about on-site expectations; maybe keep? It's not about the role specifics; it's a general statement. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Also remove "As part of the recruitment process, certain background checks may be conducted..." etc; remove.
Also remove "For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position. Salary Range (annually) $121,100.00 - $231,000.00". We need to keep salary range but maybe note it's for Canada? The location is Menands, NY, US. The salary range given is for Canada; but we still have the range. We'll include Pay section with that range, maybe note it's for Canada? But we should not invent or summarize away detail; we can just state the salary range as given. It's ambiguous but we keep it.
