We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have job description content (responsibilities), qualifications, preferred additional skills (skills), schedule (Job Schedule: 9/80 (Every Other Friday Off!)). No explicit pay or benefits. So we should include sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also "About the role"? The job description includes overview; but we can treat that as part of Responsibilities or maybe a brief About the role. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat the job title as heading. We can include About the role if there is a summary. The posting includes introductory paragraph about L3Harris, but that's boilerplate? It's generic company description; maybe we can treat as About the role? But they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The introductory paragraph about L3Harris is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered company overview; but we might keep it as part of About the role. However they said "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep that content. But we need to decide where to place it. Could be under About the role. The responsibilities are detailed in Job Description and Essential Functions. Qualifications are listed. Skills are Preferred Additional Skills. Schedule is given. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not relevant. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include the details from the job description, essential functions, qualifications, preferred additional skills, schedule. We should not repeat the job title as heading. So no heading for "Senior Specialist, Systems Engineer – Senior Spacecraft Operator". Also not include Job ID/Job Code as heading; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Probably drop it. We need to remove EEO boilerplate etc. So remove the long equal opportunity paragraph, drug-free workplace, security clearance notice, E-Verify, etc. Also remove "Please be aware many of our positions require the ability to obtain a security clearance." etc. Also remove "L3Harris Technologies is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also remove "By submitting your resume..." etc. Also remove navigation etc. We keep the core content: company mission description? The first paragraph about L3Harris dedication etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about company culture. Could keep as About the role. However they said remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That first paragraph is not legal; it's company description. I'd keep it. Thus structure:

    About the role

    L3Harris is dedicated to recruiting and developing high-performing talent ... (the introductory paragraph up to "Job Title:"? Actually we need to stop before Job Title line. The introductory paragraph ends before "Job Title: Senior Specialist, Systems Engineer – Senior Spacecraft Operator". So we include that paragraph. Then maybe

    Responsibilities

    with
    • items from Job Description and Essential Functions. Need to capture all responsibilities. We have Job Description paragraph: "L3Harris Technologies is seeking a Senior Spacecraft Operator to support mission critical national security space operations within the Spectral Solutions Enterprise. The selected candidate will provide advanced spacecraft operations, telemetry and mission data analysis, and anomaly support for a LEO satellite with an infrared (IR) payload, working in coordination with the primary team located at our Palm Bay operations facility. The role requires extensive hands-on experience with spacecraft Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) operations, with an increased emphasis on telemetry and operational data analysis, spacecraft health and status assessment, trending, off-nominal condition identification, and anomaly investigation and resolution. The individual will analyze spacecraft, payload, and ground-system data to identify operational impacts, develop technically sound recommendations, and support corrective actions and operational recovery activities. The Senior Spacecraft Operator will also support spacecraft commanding, operational planning, data transfers, mission briefings, customer coordination, and the development, verification, and testing of operational products. The position requires the ability to independently assess complex spacecraft and ground-system information, correlate data from multiple sources, communicate technical findings, and provide actionable recommendations to operators, engineering teams, program leadership, and the customer." Then Essential Functions list bullet points. We can combine them into a list. We need to avoid duplication: The Job Description paragraph already covers many points; Essential Functions list more detailed. We'll include all as list items. We should not repeat same content verbatim? It's okay to preserve all substantive information; duplication may be okay but we could combine. Safer to include both but maybe deduplicate. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we deduplicate, we might be summarizing away detail? Not exactly; we are removing duplicate sentences but still preserving info. Might be okay. But safer to keep both as separate list items, even if some overlap. We'll create
        with each essential function as
      • . Also maybe include the earlier paragraph as a

        before list. Then

          Job Schedule: 9/80 (Every Other Friday Off!). We should not include Pay or Benefits sections. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The introductory paragraph includes "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.
