for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to include job location maybe in a short
. Job code maybe also minor metadata.
We need to preserve all substantive info: job description paragraphs, essential functions list, qualifications, preferred additional skills, etc.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO statements, drug-free workplace, security clearance details? Actually security clearance eligibility is substantive (Eligibility to obtain a DoD Secret security clearance). That's part of qualifications. Also mention Active security clearance as preferred. We should keep that.
We need to remove duplicated lines, like repeated sentences.
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 about the company; could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a general intro. Since we have "About the role" heading, we can put that paragraph there.
Job Title line: we should not repeat as heading.
Job Code: 44434 (minor metadata) -> we can put in a short
maybe with Job Location and Job Schedule.
Job Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana
Job Schedule: 9/80 (Every Other Friday Off!)
Job Description paragraph: "The L3Harris Spectral Solutions division is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development of advanced space-based remote sensing systems for missile warning and missile defense missions. This role will contribute to the design, development, integration, and evaluation of next-generation sensor capabilities focused on detection and tracking, algorithm development, calibration, and performance verification. The Senior Specialist Systems Engineer will work across multidisciplinary teams to define system requirements, support sensor and payload performance analysis, and help mature technical solutions from concept through test and validation. The role will have a strong emphasis on developing and assessing detection and tracking approaches, supporting algorithm design and refinement, and ensuring sensor calibration and verification activities are executed to meet mission performance objectives."
Then "Key responsibilities include analyzing sensor system performance, developing and evaluating algorithms for target detection and tracking, supporting calibration planning and execution, defining verification methods and success criteria, and working closely with hardware, software, modeling and simulation, and test teams to ensure end-to-end system effectiveness. The role also includes supporting technical reviews, risk reduction efforts, and the translation of mission needs into actionable engineering requirements."
Then "Ideal candidates will have experience with infrared or electro-optical sensing systems, space or missile defense mission applications, systems engineering processes, and performance assessment methods. Strong analytical skills, technical collaboration, and the ability to work across the full development lifecycle are essential."
Then "Essential Functions:" list bullet points.
Then "Job is onsite in Fort Wayne, Indiana" (duplicate location).
Then "Qualifications:" paragraph with degree/experience and eligibility for DoD Secret clearance.
Then "Preferred Additional Skills:" list bullet points.
Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove.
We need to avoid duplication: location appears twice; we can keep one mention.
We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include all essential functions bullet points, qualifications, preferred skills.
We need to format lists with
- .
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: company intro + job description paragraph(s) maybe combined.
- Responsibilities: could be the key responsibilities paragraph (maybe also essential functions? but essential functions are more detailed duties; could be under Responsibilities as list). The instructions: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can put essential functions as list under Responsibilities. Also key responsibilities paragraph could be prose under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the qualifications (degree/experience, clearance) as list? But qualifications are not a list; could be prose.
- Skills: preferred additional skills list.
- Schedule: job schedule.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to ensure we don't include Benefits or Pay sections.
