(boilerplate, remove) Primary Location University Job Category Professional & Managerial Organization 440002000 Engineering & Innovative Tech Develop Employee Status Regular Shift Day/1st Shift Work Arrangement (final schedule to be determined by the department/hiring manager) Onsite We need to include sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe minimal knowledge/skills?), Skills (maybe preferred?), Benefits (none given), Pay (salary), Schedule (maybe shift info). We must only include sections if there is real specific content. We have: - About the role: The initial paragraph describing the position: "Senior Systems Engineering position for UAB's Engineering and Innovative Technology Development (EITD) group. Lead development of viable system requirements, track requirements and associated verification documentation, develop test plans for requirement verification activities, and provide support for flight operations for payload system for space applications. Lead development and supervise the development of detailed system engineering documents and data analysis for requirement development and verification, as well as for post-flight and pre-flight support. Review and check engineering documentation produced by others for adherence to technical specifications, quality standards, and requirements. Demonstrate effective technical communication to work closely with engineers of other disciplines to develop high reliability integrated systems. US Citizens only. Reports to EITD Systems Engineering Section Lead". That seems like a description; we can put under About the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list under Duties/Responsibilities. - Requirements: Education and experience: "Bachelor's degree in a STEM related field and seven (7) years of related experience required. Work experience may NOT substitute for education requirement." Also maybe US Citizens only? Could be a requirement. Also maybe "Reports to ..."? Not needed. - Qualifications: Could be Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities list. Or we could treat Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities as Skills. The instruction says we have sections: Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities under Skills. Preferred Knowledge / Skills / Abilities could also be under Skills (maybe as preferred). But we need to avoid duplication. We could combine both minimal and preferred under Skills, maybe separate subheadings? But we only allowed

for section headings, not subheadings. Could we put two

lists with headings inside? Not allowed. Could we put both lists under Skills with some prose distinguishing? Might be okay to have two
lists sequentially. But we need to decide: The instruction says "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have those headings. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience + US Citizens only), Skills (minimal and preferred), Pay (salary), Schedule (maybe shift info: Day/1st Shift, Work Arrangement final schedule to be determined, Onsite). Also maybe Benefits: none given, so we should not include Benefits section. Qualifications: Could be used for something else? The posting includes "Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities" and "Preferred Knowledge / Skills / Abilities". Those could be considered Qualifications. But we already have Skills section. The instruction lists Qualifications as a possible heading. We could put the minimal/preferred under Qualifications. But then Skills would be empty. Better to follow the typical pattern: Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (knowledge/skills), Skills (maybe technical skills). However the instruction gave both Qualifications and Skills as options. We need to decide which to use. We have both minimal and preferred knowledge/skills. That seems like qualifications. Could also be skills. But we need to avoid empty sections. Let's assign: - About the role: description. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Requirements: education/experience + US Citizens only + Reports to? maybe not. - Qualifications: Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities list. - Skills: Preferred Knowledge / Skills / Abilities list (or maybe we could combine both under Qualifications and leave Skills empty -> not allowed). So we need Skills to have content. We could put Preferred Knowledge / Skills / Abilities under Skills. - Pay: salary. - Schedule: shift/day, work arrangement, onsite, travel expectations (nights/weekends, travel). Also mention travel 5-10 trips per year, 7-day periods. That's schedule-related. - Benefits: none, omit. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to format. Use

for each section heading. Under each, use

for prose,

• for lists. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include US Citizens only somewhere. Could be in Requirements as a note. Also "Reports to EITD Systems Engineering Section Lead" maybe in About the role or Requirements. We'll put in About the role as part of description. Now let's craft. About the role: combine the initial sentences. Paragraph: "Senior Systems Engineering position for UAB's Engineering and Innovative Technology Development (EITD) group. Lead development of viable system requirements, track requirements and associated verification documentation, develop test plans for requirement verification activities, and provide support for flight operations for payload system for space applications. Lead development and supervise the development of detailed system engineering documents and data analysis for requirement development and verification, as well as for post-flight and pre-flight support. Review and check engineering documentation produced by others for adherence to technical specifications, quality standards, and requirements. Demonstrate effective technical communication to work closely with engineers of other disciplines to develop high reliability integrated systems. US Citizens only. Reports to EITD Systems Engineering Section Lead." That's a long paragraph; okay. Responsibilities: list each duty. We need to capture each bullet: - Leads the development of systems work products based on project goals, ensuring scalability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. - Oversees engineering projects from concept to completion, ensuring adherence to timelines, budgets, and technical requirements. - Conducts in-depth reviews of engineering drawings, documents, and models to validate functionality, compliance with regulations, and feasibility. Provides expert guidance to resolve complex design challenges. - Engages with electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure cohesive system integration and optimal performance. Facilitates interdisciplinary problem-solving. - Ensures designs adhere to industry standards, safety protocols, and governmental regulations. Oversees documentation efforts to maintain thorough records for audits and certifications. - Guide and train less experienced engineers. - Support meetings, teleconferences, and travel as required by projects. - May be required to work nights and weekends, as necessary, to support real time flight operations. - Travel to support testing and launch/return activities for approx. 7-day periods, 5-10 trips per year possible. Note: The last two items about nights/weekends and travel could also go under Schedule, but they are also duties. We'll keep them under Responsibilities as they are duties. However Schedule section may also include shift info. We'll keep them in Responsibilities. Now Requirements: education/experience and US Citizens only (maybe duplicate). We'll include: - Bachelor's degree in a STEM related field and seven (7) years of related experience required. - Work experience may NOT substitute for education requirement. - US Citizens only. We could also include "Reports to ..."? Already in About the role. Now Qualifications: Minimal Knowledge / Skills / Abilities list. List each: - Ability to use various engineering and documentation/analysis software, MS Word, and Excel - Ability to problem-solve - Ability to work independently - Conflict resolution skills - Interpersonal skills - Organizational skills - Technical Communication skills (verbal & written) - Prioritization skills - Process improvement and quality skills - Ability to train others - Experience working within an industrial quality standard program - Systems Engineering experience with space-flight or aerospace applications - Experience with requirements development and associated verification and validation activities Now Skills: Preferred Knowledge / Skills / Abilities list. List: - Systems Engineering experience for development and production of embedded / integrated systems - Systems Engineering experience with ISO9001 and AS9100 Quality Programs - Operations support for NASA or commercial space activities - Experience using CAD software (e.g. SolidEdge or SolidWorks) Now Pay: salary. We have "(Annual Salary: $85,600 - $139,100)". We'll put in a

  . Now Schedule: shift/day, work arrangement, onsite, plus maybe nights/weekends and travel (though we already included travel in responsibilities). But we can still include schedule details: "Day/1st Shift", "Work Arrangement (final schedule to be determined by the department/hiring manager)", "Onsite".
