HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to parse the job description. Let's extract content: Job Description paragraph: "The Senior Manufacturing Controls Engineer designs, develops, integrates, commissions, launches, and continuously improves automated manufacturing systems supporting GM’s global vehicle and propulsion manufacturing operations. This role provides technical leadership across new product programs, plant launches, equipment upgrades, and production support activities. The engineer collaborates with manufacturing engineering, plant operations, suppliers, product engineering, IT, robotics, safety, cybersecurity, and Global Automation teams to deliver safe, reliable, standardized, and high-performing controls solutions." That's about the role. Then "What You’ll Do" list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll put under Responsibilities. Then "Required Qualifications" list: bullet points. Then "Preferred Qualifications" list: bullet points. Then "This role is categorized as hybrid..." includes schedule info: hybrid, expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week, travel 25-50%, relocation benefits, ability to legally operate motor vehicle, company vehicle after MVR review. That's schedule and maybe benefits? Travel and hybrid schedule. Then "About GM" and "Why Join Us" etc are boilerplate? Might be considered not needed? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About GM" and "Why Join Us" maybe not boilerplate but could be considered fluff. However they are substantive? They are generic marketing. Might be considered not needed. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. But we can decide to keep them? They are not required sections; we could put under About the role? But they are separate. However we have limited sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "About GM" could go under About the role? Possibly. But we already have About the role from first paragraph. Could add more about GM there. But we must not invent sections. We could include a short paragraph under About the role that includes the GM vision etc. That's okay. "Benefits Overview" mentions benefits: "From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions. Learn how GM supports a rewarding career that rewards you personally by visiting Total Rewards resources." That's benefits info. So we need a Benefits section. Pay: Not mentioned. So we should not include Pay section. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule info. So include Schedule section. Skills: Could be derived from Required/Preferred qualifications? But we have separate Qualifications sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They list Skills as possible heading. We have qualifications (required and preferred). Could combine them under Qualifications? Or separate Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. We have both required and preferred qualifications; we could combine into Qualifications section with sub-bullets? Or we could have two sections: Requirements and Qualifications? They listed Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. Usually Requirements = required qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? But ambiguous. We'll follow: Use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Skills could be separate if we have skill-specific items like "Strong experience with PLCs, HMIs..." but those are in qualifications. Might be okay to not have Skills section if we already have Requirements and Qualifications. But we have a heading Skills in the list; we can omit if no specific skill content beyond qualifications. However we could extract skills like "Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organizational, and decision-making skills." That's skills. Could put under Skills. But we already have them in Required Qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we put them under Skills and keep Required Qualifications for education/experience. But instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we split, we must ensure not to lose any info. Could duplicate? Duplication is not prohibited but they said remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating same content. Better to keep qualifications as is (including education, experience, skills). Then we can omit Skills section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits, Schedule. Check if any content for Pay: none, so omit. Now craft HTML. We need

for each section heading. Then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not include markdown fences. Let's draft. About the role: combine first paragraph plus maybe GM vision? Could add GM vision as part of About the role. But that might be considered boilerplate? It's about GM vision, maybe okay. We'll include it. Paragraph: "The Senior Manufacturing Controls Engineer designs, develops, integrates, commissions, launches, and continuously improves automated manufacturing systems supporting GM’s global vehicle and propulsion manufacturing operations. This role provides technical leadership across new product programs, plant launches, equipment upgrades, and production support activities. The engineer collaborates with manufacturing engineering, plant operations, suppliers, product engineering, IT, robotics, safety, cybersecurity, and Global Automation teams to deliver safe, reliable, standardized, and high-performing controls solutions." Add GM vision: "Our vision is a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion and we embrace the responsibility to lead the change that will make our world better, safer and more equitable for all." That's from About GM. Could include. Now Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You’ll Do". We'll convert each sentence to
  • . Let's extract them: - Lead controls engineering execution for new and existing manufacturing programs from concept through production launch. - Develop, review, and approve controls hardware and software designs, including PLCs, HMIs, drives, safety systems, I/O, industrial networks, and plant-floor interfaces. - Program, troubleshoot, integrate, and validate automated equipment and production systems. - Apply GM Global Common Controls standards for hardware, software, build, safety, networks, and cybersecurity. - Perform or oversee emulation, offline testing, supplier buyoffs, equipment runoffs, installation, commissioning, and production validation. - Provide technical direction to controls engineers, suppliers, integrators, and plant personnel. - Manage project scope, timing, risks, issues, deliverables, and escalations through resolution. - Partner with equipment suppliers to establish requirements, review designs, resolve technical issues, and ensure compliance with GM standards. - Support plant launches, production ramp-up, equipment modifications, downtime recovery, and complex controls troubleshooting. - Conduct root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions that improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, uptime, and throughput. - Participate in investment studies, preliminary designs, equipment selection, cost estimating, and technical sourcing activities. - Develop and maintain standardized controls templates, engineering tools, design aids, and technical documentation. - Capture lessons learned and incorporate improvements into standards, processes, and future program designs. - Collaborate with global teams on technology development, proof-of-concept activities, and deployment of advanced automation solutions. - Promote a culture of safety, inclusion, accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence. Now Requirements (required qualifications): list each bullet. - Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. - Five or more years of experience in manufacturing controls, automation, electrical engineering, or a related technical discipline. - Experience designing, programming, integrating, and commissioning automated manufacturing equipment. - Strong experience with PLCs, HMIs, drives, safety controls, industrial networks, and electrical control systems. - Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, panel layouts, mechanical drawings, and equipment specifications. - Demonstrated experience executing projects and managing equipment suppliers. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, organizational, and decision-making skills. - Ability to work independently and lead cross-functional teams in technical center, supplier, and plant environments. - Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, including occasional extended assignments and off-shift or weekend support during launches. Now Qualifications (preferred qualifications): list each bullet. - Master’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field. - Experience in automotive manufacturing, including vehicle assembly, body, paint, stamping, general assembly, propulsion, battery, or conveyor systems. - Knowledge of GM Global Common Controls standards for hardware, software, build, safety, networks, or cybersecurity. - Experience with emulation and virtual validation tools, such as Emulate3D. - Experience integrating controls with plant-floor systems, MES, production monitoring, error proofing, Andon, vehicle tracking, or enterprise IT systems. - Experience with Siemens controls, HMI platforms, EPLAN, machine vision, robotics, or industrial cybersecurity. - Experience developing automation standards, reusable templates, engineering tools, or technical training. - Familiarity with scripting or programming languages such as Python, C#, VBA, JavaScript, or XML. - Experience with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving methodologies. Now Benefits: we have benefits overview paragraph. - "From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions. Learn how GM supports a rewarding career that rewards you personally by visiting Total Rewards resources." We could also mention relocation benefits? That's in schedule/hybrid paragraph: "This job may be eligible for relocation benefits." That's a benefit. So include that. Thus Benefits section: combine both. Paragraph: "From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions. Learn how GM supports a rewarding career that rewards you personally by visiting Total Rewards resources. This job may be eligible for relocation benefits." Now Schedule: hybrid schedule info. Paragraph: "This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}. The selected candidate will be required to travel on a regular basis (25-50%) for this role. This position requires the ability to legally operate a motor vehicle on a regular basis. A company vehicle will only be provided for this role by passing the Motor Vehicle Report review." We should keep the curly braces? The original text includes "{or other frequency dictated by their manager}". We'll keep as is. Now ensure no boilerplate: we removed About GM, Why Join Us, Non-Discrimination, Accommodations, etc. Now output HTML. We need to wrap each section in

    heading then content. For About the role:

    About the role

    then

    ... maybe two paragraphs? Could combine into one

    with sentences. We'll put two

    if needed but okay. We'll produce:

    About the role
