Senior Software Engineering Manager(Onsite)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Learn More & Apply Now!" etc. Also remove "Please ensure the role type defined below is appropriate..." etc. Also remove "At Collins, the paths we pave together..." etc. Also remove "As part of our commitment..." etc. Also remove "RTX anticipates the application window..." etc. Also remove "RTX is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Privacy Policy and Terms:" etc. We need to keep: Date posted? Might be considered metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with date posted and location? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a
with date posted and location maybe. We need sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph about RTX and Collins Aerospace). Responsibilities (the "What You’ll Do:" bullet points). Requirements (maybe the "Qualifications You Must Have:" plus immigration requirement). Qualifications (maybe "Qualifications We Prefer:"? Actually they have Qualifications You Must Have and Qualifications We Prefer. Could treat Qualifications section as both? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. We have content: "Qualifications You Must Have:" includes degree, years experience, authorization, etc. Also "Qualifications We Prefer:" includes proposal experience, product-line architectures, familiarity with tools, etc. Also there is a list of responsibilities under "What You’ll Do:" with sub-bullets. Also there is "What We Offer:" benefits list. Also salary range: "The salary range for this role is 132,400 USD - 251,600 USD." Also schedule? Not given explicitly; only "Onsite" role type. No schedule details like full-time, etc. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not give schedule like "Full-time" etc. So omit Schedule. Benefits: we have list under "What We Offer:" includes many items. So we can create Benefits section with
- each benefit.
Pay: we have salary range, so include Pay section.
Requirements: maybe include immigration requirement and degree/experience? Actually those are qualifications. But we can treat Requirements as the mandatory qualifications (degree, experience, authorization). Qualifications as preferred qualifications. Skills maybe from responsibilities? Could also include technical skills like DO-178C, ARP4754A, Agile, CI/CD, etc. But we already have those in responsibilities and qualifications. Might be okay to have Requirements (mandatory), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (technical competencies). However we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content:

About the role: The introductory paragraphs about RTX, Collins Aerospace, and the position description: "At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company... Collins Aerospace is a leader... Join us and help shape the future... Collins Aerospace is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineering Manager (M5) with a passion for aerospace software and the desire to lead a highly skilled, innovative team developing software for Cargo Systems used across multiple aircraft platform.

We should keep that as About the role.
We also have location list; we could include that in About the role paragraph.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (the page already shows it). So we won't add heading for Senior Software Engineering Manager.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
