We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key content:
- About Sandia: description of lab, benefits, flexible work arrangements, etc. This could be "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company overview. Could be considered "About the role"? But we have a section "About the role" maybe not needed. The instruction: use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key content:
- About Sandia: description of lab, benefits, flexible work arrangements, etc. This could be "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is company overview. Could be considered "About the role"? But we have a section "About the role" maybe not needed. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We need to include:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph describing the role: "We are seeking a R&D Laboratory Support Technologist to join our System-Level Vibration Testing Laboratory team..." plus description of duties.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (bulleted). The posting includes many duties: "Work with engineers to help realize ideas and designs...", "Develop, build, modify, repair, maintain, and utilize a wide variety of laboratory equipment.", etc. We can put those as - .
- Requirements: maybe qualifications required (Qualifications We Require). That's a list.
- Qualifications: maybe desired qualifications (Qualifications We Desire). Could be separate "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. We could put required qualifications under "Requirements" and desired under "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we need to avoid duplication.
- Benefits: The posting mentions flexible work arrangements, generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. Also mentions "These benefits vary by job classification." So we have benefits content.
- Pay: Salary Range $74,700 - $144,400. So we need a Pay section.
- Schedule: The posting mentions flexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 and 4/10 compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, security clearance details? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should omit EEO, security clearance details, posting duration, etc. However, some security clearance info might be considered part of qualifications? The posting says "Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance." That's a qualification requirement. So we should keep that as part of Requirements. But the rest of the security clearance paragraph (details about drug test, background review) is boilerplate; we should remove.
Also remove "Job ID", "Job Family", etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., "Associate's degree in an applicable STEM discipline - OR - high school or equivalent plus 4 years exempt experience - OR - high school diploma plus 8 years non-exempt experience or combination of education and relevant experience". Keep that exactly.
Also "Experience in one or more of the following: Testing experience in a laboratory setting, Troubleshooting and/or repair of test equipment, Hazardous industrial operations, Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance."
Desired qualifications list: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related STEM discipline. Experience with MATLAB and/or Python. Experience with dynamic sensor and instrumentation such as accelerometers. Experience with data acquisition system setup, operation, and maintenance. Experience with data analysis and visualization. Basic knowledge of structural dynamics, particularly experimental vibration testing & analysis. Experience with hazardous testing, such as explosives, and associated work planning and control processes. Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance and collaboratively as a part of a team. Commitment to operational safety, security, and quality.
We need to keep all that.
Now about responsibilities: The bullet list under "On any given day you may be called on to:" includes many items. We need to keep them as list items.
Let's extract them:
- Work with engineers to help realize ideas and designs and work together to accomplish project goals.
- Develop, build, modify, repair, maintain, and utilize a wide variety of laboratory equipment.
- Install instrumentation in/on test articles.
- Maintain and operate data acquisition systems.
- Assist with traditional Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF), advanced Six Degree of Freedom (6DOF), and Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) test techniques to an ever-changing assortment of projects including weapon systems, aerospace structures & payloads, and civil structures.
- Assist with data analysis, organization, and interpretation of results.
- Support documentation and publication efforts, including documentation of results for customers and publication efforts for conference proceedings and peer-reviewed journal papers.
- Conceive and implement new solutions and improvements to the group's technical and operational procedures.
Also note: "Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite. Additionally, the applicant must be willing to work on nuclear deterrence systems." This is a requirement; could be part of Requirements.
Now About Sandia paragraph: Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About Sandia" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put the Sandia overview under "About the role". That seems appropriate.
Now Benefits: The posting mentions flexible work arrangements (9/80, 4/10, part-time, telecommuting), generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. Also "These benefits vary by job classification." We'll keep that.
Pay: Salary Range $74,700 - $144,400. Also note "Salary range is estimated, and actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate's experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential." We should keep that detail.
Schedule: The flexible work arrangements info could be under Schedule. However we already placed flexible work arrangements under Benefits. But schedule is about work hours; benefits also includes flexible work arrangements. The instruction says we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine schedule and benefits? But we have separate headings allowed. We need to decide: The posting explicitly mentions flexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 (work 80 hours every two weeks, with every other Friday off) and 4/10 (work 4 ten-hour days each week) compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting (a mix of onsite work and working from home). That's schedule info. Benefits also mention generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance. So we could have two sections: Benefits (vacation, medical, 401k, learning, relocation, amenities) and Schedule (flexible work arrangements). That seems appropriate.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:

But we need to separate responsibilities into a list.
Better: About the role paragraph summarizing role and team, then Responsibilities .
Let's craft.
About the role: include Sandia overview and role description (maybe short). Then Responsibilities list.
Requirements: list of required qualifications (Associate's degree OR etc, experience list, ability to obtain clearance, willingness to work onsite and nuclear deterrence systems). We'll include those as .
Qualifications: desired qualifications list (Bachelor's degree, MATLAB/Python, etc). Could be under Qualifications.
Skills: maybe we could put some skills like "Experience with MATLAB and/or Python", "Experience with dynamic sensor and instrumentation such as accelerometers", etc. But we already have Qualifications. The instruction allows Skills section; we could put desired qualifications there. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Use Qualifications for education/experience requirements, and Skills for technical skills like MATLAB, Python, accelerometers, data acquisition, data analysis, structural dynamics knowledge, hazardous testing, teamwork, safety commitment. However the desired qualifications list includes both education and skills. To keep it simple, we could have Qualifications for education/experience requirements (both required and desired) and Skills for technical competencies. But we risk splitting.
Given the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine required and desired qualifications into one Qualifications section, and maybe Skills not needed. But we have to follow allowed headings; we can omit Skills if not needed.
We need to include Pay and Schedule sections.
