Senior Specialist, Software Engineering
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to not repeat job title as heading.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and schedule maybe in a
under a generic "Details" but we have schedule section. Could include location in a
under "About the role" or separate.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could contain the job description paragraph (technical leadership...). Also maybe location and schedule? But schedule has its own section.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Qualifications: Qualifications list.
- Skills: Preferred Additional Skills list.
- Benefits: Benefits list.
- Pay: Pay range.
- Schedule: Schedule info.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to ensure we don't include EEO etc.
Let's extract content.
Company intro paragraph: "L3Harris is dedicated to recruiting and developing high-performing talent who are passionate about what they do. Our employees are unified in a shared dedication to our customers’ mission and quest for professional growth. L3Harris provides an inclusive, engaging environment designed to empower employees and promote work-life success. Fundamental to our culture is an unwavering focus on values, dedication to our communities, and commitment to excellence in everything we do. L3Harris is the Trusted Disruptor in defense tech. With customers’ mission-critical needs always in mind, our employees deliver end-to-end technology solutions connecting the space, air, land, sea and cyber domains in the interest of national security."
That's generic company description; could be considered "About the company" but not required. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can include "About the role" heading and put the job description paragraph there. The company intro could be part of About the role or maybe we can omit as it's not specific to role? It's generic but still substantive. Probably include it in About the role.
Job Description paragraph: "The Senior Specialist, Software Engineering will provide technical leadership for software sustainment of a fielded satellite communications system. The role leads analysis and resolution of security findings, designs and implements complex system improvements, and delivers reliable software that supports an operational mission. Work includes architecture and detailed design, technical documentation, implementation, automated testing, and collaboration across engineering disciplines. This position is located in Colorado Springs: L3Harris Careers in Colorado"
We can combine with company intro.
Essential Functions list:

- Provide technical guidance to team members; contribute to development standards, peer reviews, planning, estimation, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
- Partner with systems, test, cybersecurity, and customer stakeholders to define solutions, verify system behavior, and support deployment and operational readiness.
- Occasional travel may be required.
- Active TS/SCI clearance is required.
Qualifications list:

We need to keep that but maybe we can trim the disclaimer? It's substantive; we keep.

The specific programs and options available to an employee may vary depending on date of hire, schedule type, and the applicability of collective bargaining agreements."
Schedule: "Job Schedule: 9/80"
Location: "Job Location: Colorado Springs, CO"
We could put location and schedule in a
under "About the role" or separate "Details". But we have schedule section; location could be included in About the role paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We must not put Job ID as heading; we can drop it.
We must output only HTML fragment.
