We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: Position Summary (maybe "About the role"), Required Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities), Required Skills/Qualifications (Requirements or Qualifications), Preferred Skills/Qualifications (maybe Skills), Education (maybe Qualifications), Clearance Level Required (maybe not needed), Export Control / ITAR Requirement (maybe not needed), Travel Required (maybe Schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but could be part of Schedule? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings if present. We have: - Position Summary: could be "About the role". - Required Duties And Responsibilities: "Responsibilities". - Required Skills/Qualifications: "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? The list includes both Required and Preferred. Could combine: "Requirements" for required skills, "Preferred Skills" maybe as "Skills"? But instruction says use headings like Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Benefits present. Pay present (salary). Schedule? Not present; we have Travel Required less than 10% maybe could be considered Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Travel is not schedule. Probably we should not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. We have Pay (salary) and Benefits stated, so we include those. Schedule not stated, so omit. We also have Education: could be part of Qualifications or Requirements. Could create a "Qualifications" section covering education and maybe clearance? But clearance is not a qualification per se; but we could include in Qualifications. However we need to avoid filler. We have Clearance Level Required: No clearance required. That's substantive but maybe minor. Could include in a short paragraph under Qualifications or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Clearance level is metadata; we could fold into a short p under Qualifications or maybe under a "Requirements" section. Similarly Export Control / ITAR Requirement is substantive: employment contingent upon meeting export control eligibility. That's a requirement; could be included under Requirements. Travel Required: Less Than 10% - could be considered under Schedule? But schedule is about work schedule; travel is not schedule. Might be considered under "About the role" as a note. Could fold into a short p under About the role. Working Conditions and Physical Demands: could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Might be considered as part of role description. Could include in About the role as a paragraph. Work Authorization Requirement: also metadata; could fold into About the role or Requirements. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details, but we can combine them into sections as appropriate, not losing info. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must not include duplicated lines. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: About DZYNE DZYNE Technologies is leading the future of autonomous defense. Based in Irvine, California, we develop and manufacture advanced airborne and ground-based defense solutions deployed in over 50 countries. Backed by U.S. Government Programs of Record, our technologies are field-proven, scalable, and production-ready. We’re growing fast and looking for innovators ready to make an impact.

Join us. Position Title: Mechanical Engineer, UAS (we ignore as heading not needed) Location: Irvine, CA Work Arrangement: On-site Position Summary We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer, UAS to design and develop airframe structures and mechanical assemblies for unmanned aircraft systems. This role involves creating robust, lightweight components, integrating subsystems within defined aircraft volumes, and supporting the full lifecycle from concept through build and test. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will contribute to detailed mechanical design, component packaging, and production‑ready documentation. Candidates should be comfortable collaborating closely with manufacturing and test personnel to ensure designs are practical, efficient to build, and aligned with performance and reliability goals. This position offers the opportunity to apply strong mechanical fundamentals, hands‑on problem solving, and design-for-manufacturing principles to drive high‑quality hardware into prototype and production environments. Required Duties And Responsibilities - Develop airframe structures, mechanical components, and assemblies for unmanned aircraft systems. - Integrate mechanical, electrical, propulsion, and avionics subsystems within defined aircraft volumes. - Create detailed CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings that meet quality and configuration standards. - Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals to support sizing, basic structural assessment, tolerance considerations, and design trade studies. - Collaborate with manufacturing to incorporate design-for-manufacturing principles and ensure efficient, repeatable builds. - Support fabrication, assembly, ground testing, and flight testing through hands‑on troubleshooting and issue resolution. - Incorporate feedback from testing, integration, and production into iterative design improvements. - Work effectively with cross-functional engineering teams and communicate technical status clearly Required Skills/Qualifications - 4+ years of mechanical engineering experience in aerospace, robotics, or electromechanical systems. - Proficiency with 3D CAD tools for part and assembly design (SolidWorks preferred). - Experience generating production‑ready mechanical drawings and documentation. - Understanding of structural behavior, mechanical design principles, and lightweight component design. - Familiarity with GD&T and engineering drawing standards. - Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate in a multi‑disciplinary environment. Preferred Skills/Qualifications - Experience with DFM, DFA, or production-oriented mechanical design practices. - Background working with composite or lightweight metallic structures. - Hands‑on experience supporting prototype hardware builds, mechanical integration, or test operations. - Exposure to FEA tools or structural analysis workflows (expertise not required). - Experience with unmanned aircraft, flight hardware, or other mission‑critical mechanical systems Education - Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM field from an accredited institution Clearance Level Required: No clearance required. Export Control / ITAR Requirement: This position requires access to information and technology subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As a result, employment is contingent upon meeting applicable export control eligibility requirements and compliance obligations. Travel Required: Less Than 10% Working Conditions The diversity of work conditions may range from an environment where there is little or no physical discomfort, such as a general office environment, to warehouse and other facilities. Physical Demands The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job: Must have the ability to stoop, stand, climb, occasionally lift a minimum of 25 lbs. Involves movement between departments, floors, and worksites to facilitate work. Work Authorization Requirement Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future employment visa sponsorship. Salary: $105,000 - $150,000 annually Salary depends on relevant work experience, education, training, essential skills, and/or other factors such as specialized or high-demand professions. In addition to the annual salary, the position will be eligible for an annual bonus. The pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of salary or annual bonus. Benefits Our benefits are DZYNE’ed for your overall health and financial wellness. DZYNE offers a comprehensive healthcare benefits package. Base dental, vision, life, accident, disability, and other core benefits are fully covered by DZYNE. DZYNE provides paid time off and paid holidays. Additionally, DZYNE offers a 401 (k) plan with an employer match and immediate vesting. We need to remove EEO boilerplate at end. Now map to headings: - About the role: combine the introductory About DZYNE paragraph, Position Summary, Location, Work Arrangement, maybe Travel Required, Working Conditions, Physical Demands, Work Authorization Requirement? But we need to keep all info. Could create About the role section with paragraphs covering: company overview, position summary, location, work arrangement, travel, working conditions, physical demands, work authorization. That seems okay. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: could include Required Skills/Qualifications, Education, Clearance Level Required, Export Control / ITAR Requirement. Possibly also Preferred Skills/Qualifications could go under Skills? But we have a Skills heading; we could put Preferred Skills under Skills. Required Skills could go under Requirements. However the instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. We have both Required and Preferred skills. Could make Requirements section for Required Skills/Qualifications + Education + Clearance + Export Control. Then Skills section for Preferred Skills/Qualifications. Or we could combine Required and Preferred under Skills and have Requirements for something else. But we have no other requirements besides those. Let's follow typical: Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Skills = preferred or additional skills. We'll do that. Thus:
