We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: The Opportunity (intro), Our Technology (description), How I will Contribute (responsibilities), What You Bring to the role (requirements/qualifications/skills), Some of the Good Stuff (benefits), About Safran Federal Systems (company info). No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections. Also we should not repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is EEO statement and note about description not comprehensive. Those should be removed. Also "Please note this description is not designed to cover..." remove. We need to format content appropriately: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro + technology?), Responsibilities (How I will Contribute), Requirements (education/experience?), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements?), Skills (tools, etc.), Benefits (Some of the Good Stuff). Could combine some but better to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we need to use headings only when posting has real specific content. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. Could also have Qualifications separate but maybe overlapping. Let's parse. The posting: "The Opportunity: We are seeking a skilled and experienced senior electrical engineer, with a focus on RF design, to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electrical system for Safran products. As there is a focus on RF design, the ideal candidate brings a solid foundation in RF engineering and is comfortable stepping into an RF role while also supporting general hardware development activities. This role requires an understanding of electric components, circuit design, and PCB layout, as well as proficiency in industry-standard software and tools. The engineer will work through the full hardware development lifecycle: from concept, schematic capture, and layout review to hardware integration and system validation. Our Technology:We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve the reliability, performance, and safety of critical high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions and applications for military and government contract customers." That's about role and technology. "How I will Contribute:" then a long list of responsibilities. "What You Bring to the role:" then list of qualifications: education, experience, etc. "Some of the Good Stuff:" list of benefits. "About Safran Federal Systems:" company description. We could treat About the role as intro + technology. Responsibilities as the How I will Contribute list. Requirements as education/experience (What You Bring). Skills as technical proficiencies (tools, standards). Benefits as Some of the Good Stuff. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. About the role: combine the Opportunity paragraph and Technology paragraph. Responsibilities: list items from "How I will Contribute:" each sentence seems a duty. We'll make

    • each. Requirements: education and experience: "4+ years with A Bachelor’s, or 2+ years with a master’s degree, in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field". Also maybe "Experience in RF and electrical hardware design and validation", "Hands-on experience in designing and testing RF systems and subsystems". Those could be requirements. But also skills. Skills: "Proficiency in electrical hardware design tools, such as Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD", "Understanding of PCB layout best practices, including high-speed design, EMI/EM considerations, thermal management, RF isolation, and manufacturability", "Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as FCC, EL, CE, and MIL-STD testing", "Strong understanding of analog, digital, RF, and/or power supply circuit design", "Proven ability to work across engineering domains", "Experience with high-speed PCB design and signal integrity analysis is a plus", "Knowledge of manufacturing processes, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles", "Documented active US Government Security Clearance at the Secret level or higher highly preferred.", "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Positive attitude and ability to engage and influence", "Excellent communication and teamwork abilities", "Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines". We could separate Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (tools, abilities). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements; but we can include Qualifications as education/experience and maybe certifications. Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (technical and soft skills), Benefits. We must not include Pay or Schedule. Now format. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece exactly as in text, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep the exact wording, maybe as sentences. We can keep them as is. We'll produce HTML:

      But note we have duplicated "The Opportunity:" maybe we keep as is. It's okay. Responsibilities: list each duty from "How I will Contribute:" We'll break sentences. Let's copy the text: "How I will Contribute:Design, development, build and test PCB prototypes, conduct debugging and troubleshooting to identify and resolve issues.
