Senior Mechanical Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the Team, The Role (maybe "About the role"? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need headings like "About the Team" maybe not listed but we can use that as heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow that pattern. The posting includes "About the Team:" and "The Role:" and "What You Will Do:" and "Who you are:" and "Even Better:" and "Why Join Us?" and "Pay Information". We need to map to appropriate headings. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Apply today..." etc. Also remove "Visit us at www.str.us for more info." Also remove "STR is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Pursuant to applicable federal law..." etc. We need to preserve substantive information. So we need sections: About the Team (maybe heading About the Team). The Role (maybe heading About the role). Responsibilities (What You Will Do). Requirements/Qualifications (Who you are + Even Better?). Skills maybe combine. Benefits? Not present except maybe "Why Join Us?" which is more about culture, not benefits. Could treat as "Why Join Us?" maybe as a section but not in list; but instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. "Why Join Us?" has some content about opportunity, team, etc. Could be considered a section but not one of the prescribed headings. Might be okay to include as a heading like "Why Join Us?" but not in the list. However they gave examples; we could still use that heading. Safer to include sections: About the Team, About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Possibly also "Why Join Us?" as a section but not required. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they want separate headings for Qualifications and Skills if content exists. We have qualifications (education, experience, clearance) and skills (knowledge areas, hands-on experience, communication). Even Better could be additional qualifications/skills. We could split: Qualifications (education, experience, clearance) and Skills (technical knowledge, hands-on, communication, even better). That seems reasonable. Pay: we have salary range. Schedule: not mentioned (full-time implied but not explicit schedule). So we should not create Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned; we should not create Benefits. Thus output:

About the Team

... content from About the Team paragraph.

About the role

... content from The Role paragraph.

Responsibilities

• ... each bullet from What You Will Do.

Qualifications

• ... education/clearance/experience requirements.

Skills

• ... technical knowledge areas, hands-on experience, communication skills, even better items.

Pay

Full-Time Salary Range: $135,000 - $160,000. The salary range listed is based on external market data. Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate’s experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions.

We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the Team paragraph: "The Sensors Division within STR focuses on the development and analysis of advanced sensor systems in the RF, acoustic, and electro-optical domains. This includes the design and development of novel sensors and advanced information processing techniques from ideation to prototype implementations. The Subsea and Seabed Systems (SSS) Group develops and delivers advanced undersea sensor and signal processing systems, including bespoke undersea vehicles to deploy those systems. We apply those products to to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and counter-ISR applications to deliver missions success to our customers." Note there is a typo "to to". We preserve as is. The Role paragraph: "We are seeking a Senior Mechanical / Ocean Engineer to develop technical solutions for complex, distributed uncrewed undersea systems—including vehicles, buoys, and ocean bottom nodes. In this role, you will work with high‑level guidance from a Principal Investigator or Chief Engineer, but own the detailed engineering: turning concepts into designs, prototypes, and fielded systems through analysis, fabrication, integration, and testing. You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical, acoustics, software, systems) to realize novel system concepts for ISR and C‑ISR missions. You’ll be expected to build and apply domain expertise, proactively suggest next steps, perform peer reviews, and contribute to reports, proposals, and presentations that capture your results and ideas." What You Will Do bullet list (each line starts with a bold phrase? We'll extract each sentence as bullet. List: - Develop mechanical and ocean engineering solutions for distributed uncrewed undersea systems, from concept through detailed design, fabrication, integration, and test - Lead technical tasks within small, multi‑disciplinary teams, coordinating closely with electrical, acoustics, embedded systems, and power engineers to balance complex system‑level tradeoffs - Design and analyze key undersea structures and subsystems, including: Pressure vessels and housings for deep‑water operation Hydrodynamic forms and appendages Thermal management and power system packaging Shock, vibration, stability, and control aspects Transducer and actuator mounting and integration - Model, analyze, and simulate electro‑mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems using custom or commercial tools (e.g., FEA, CFD, thermal analysis) to inform design decisions and predict performance - Contribute to the design and implementation of undersea acoustic hardware prototypes, ensuring mechanical designs support acoustic performance, reliability, and manufacturability - Work with teammates to model and simulate advanced undersea acoustic systems across scales—from individual sensor physics to system‑level and theater‑level behavior—providing mechanical and ocean engineering insight - Perform peer reviews and suggest next steps for ongoing research and development activities, helping shape follow‑on tasks and programs - Support the development of best practices and capabilities for designing, producing, integrating, and testing distributed uncrewed undersea systems; identify gaps and propose approaches to address them - Contribute to technical communications (reports, briefings, proposals, and presentations) that summarize your designs, analyses, test results, and recommendations for customers, sponsors, and internal stakeholders Note there is a nested list under "Design and analyze key undersea structures and subsystems, including:" We could keep as sub-bullets but instruction says use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could embed nested
  . We'll keep as
  • Design and analyze key undersea structures and subsystems, including:
  • Pressure vessels...
  ... etc
  . That's okay. Who you are paragraph: "Active security clearance with eligibility to support special access programs, for which U.S citizenship is needed by the U.S government BS with at least 5 years of relevant experience, MS with at least 3 years of relevant experience, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline. Experience developing mechanical/ocean engineering solutions for advanced research and development projects, preferably in undersea or harsh‑environment systems Strong knowledge in several of the following areas: Pressure vessels and deep‑water structures Hydrodynamics and stability of undersea vehicles and platforms Thermal management and power system integration Shock and vibration design and mitigation Transducers, actuators, and their mechanical integration Hands‑on experience progressing from concepts to fielded systems, supported by: Analytical modeling and simulation (including FEA or similar tools) Prototyping and fabrication Lab, pool, and/or at‑sea testing Ability to work with high‑level guidance and independently develop detailed technical solutions, identify risks, and propose mitigation strategies. Ability to survey technical literature, understand state‑of‑the‑art developments, and incorporate relevant research into current problem sets. Strong communication skills, including: Clear documentation of designs, analyses, and test results Contribution to technical briefings and reports for customers and senior management" Even Better paragraph: "Experience with distributed uncrewed undersea systems (UUVs, buoys, ocean bottom nodes) and their mechanical/ocean engineering challenges Familiarity with acoustic systems and how mechanical design impacts acoustic performance and noise control Experience working in multi‑disciplinary R&D teams, collaborating across mechanical, electrical, acoustics, and software disciplines Prior interaction with U.S. Government or defense customers, and understanding of how mission needs translate into engineering requirements Experience supporting proposal development, including providing technical input, estimates, and risk assessments" Why Join Us? paragraph: "This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of groundbreaking undersea robotic and sensing systems that will shape the future of maritime autonomy. You will work alongside a passionate and talented team, tackling some of the most challenging and rewarding problems in the field. If you are a visionary roboticist with a drive to innovate and lead, we want to hear from you. Apply today and help us redefine what’s possible beneath the waves." We need to remove application instructions like "Apply today and help us redefine what’s possible beneath the waves." That's part of Why Join Us? but it's an application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should strip that sentence. Keep the rest: "This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of groundbreaking undersea robotic and sensing systems that will shape the future of maritime autonomy. You will work alongside a passionate and talented team, tackling some of the most challenging and rewarding problems in the field. If you are a visionary roboticist with a drive to innovate and lead, we want to hear from you." The last sentence still is a call to action but maybe considered application instruction. Safer to remove the last sentence entirely. Keep first two sentences. Pay Information paragraph: "Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $135,000 - $160,000 The salary range listed is based on external market data. Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate’s experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions." We need to keep that. Now produce HTML. We must not include or . Just fragment. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? The text includes ampersands? Not many. There's "U.S." fine. There's "high‑level" with hyphen maybe special hyphen? Use regular hyphen. We'll keep as is. We'll produce:
