Senior Supplier Quality Engineer
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when there is real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Opening: "We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 24 Sep 2026" (maybe metadata, we can fold into short p or drop). Not a heading.
- "Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader..." This is about the company/mission. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Medtronic". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put company overview under About the role.
- "A Day in the Life The Neurovascular Operating Unit develops technologies..." This describes role. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role.
- Then "As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you will partner..." This is responsibilities.
- Then "Primary Responsibilities" list bullet points.
- Then "Required Qualifications" list.
- Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
- Then "Physical Job Requirements" (some generic). Might be considered Requirements? Could be part of Requirements.
- Then "U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship" (metadata). Could be part of Requirements? Not exactly. Might be omitted as boilerplate? It's specific info about sponsorship. Might be considered part of Requirements? But we have no specific heading for that. Could fold into a short p under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably better to include under Requirements as a note.
- Then "Recruitment Fraud Alert" (boilerplate) remove.
- Then "Benefits & Compensation" with details: Salary range, benefits list. This is Benefits and Pay. So we need Benefits section and Pay section. According to rules, we should include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does: Salary ranges for U.S (excl. PR) locations (USD): $99,200.00 - $148,800.00. Also mentions short-term incentive. So we can have Pay section with that info. Benefits section with list of benefits.
- Schedule: The posting mentions "This position is based in Irvine, California and supports... The role is onsite five days per week". That's schedule info (onsite five days per week). Also maybe travel. So we can include Schedule section with that.
- Also there is "Travel to supplier locations may be required for audits, assessments, and supplier development activities." That could be part of Responsibilities or Schedule? Probably Responsibilities.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll structure:
About the role
... (company overview and day in the life)
Responsibilities
- ... list items from Primary Responsibilities plus maybe other duties like partner with suppliers, etc.
Requirements
... maybe combine Required Qualifications and Physical Job Requirements and US work auth? Actually Requirements heading maybe for required qualifications. We'll put Required Qualifications there as list. But we also have Preferred Qualifications; could be under Skills? Or Qualifications? The allowed headings include Qualifications (maybe for both required and preferred). But we have Requirements and Qualifications separate. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred? Or Skills for skills? Let's map: - Requirements: Required Qualifications (mandatory) - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (nice-to-have) - Skills: maybe specific technical skills like APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, DOE, process validation, ASQ certifications. Could be under Skills. But we also have "Experience in supplier quality, quality engineering..." etc. Those are qualifications. We'll decide: Requirements: Required Qualifications (bullet list) Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (bullet list) Skills: Knowledge of APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, DOE, process validation methodologies; ASQ certifications (CQE, CSQP, Six Sigma Green Belt/Black Belt). Could be under Skills. But we also have "Experience in the medical device industry or other highly regulated industries" etc. That's also preferred qualification. We'll keep Qualifications for preferred qualifications (including industry experience, NPD, etc). Skills for specific methodologies and certifications. Now Benefits: list of benefits. Pay: salary range and short-term incentive. Schedule: onsite five days per week, location Irvine, CA, travel may be required. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. About the role paragraph: "We anticipate the application window for this opening will close on - 24 Sep 2026" maybe we can include as a short p at top? Not a heading. Could be a p before sections. "Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact." Then "A Day in the Life The Neurovascular Operating Unit develops technologies that support minimally invasive treatment of stroke and other neurovascular conditions. Supplier Quality Engineering plays a critical role in ensuring externally sourced materials, components, and services consistently meet quality, regulatory, and business requirements while supporting product reliability and supply continuity. This position is based in Irvine, California and supports manufacturing, research and development, operations quality, and sourcing teams within the Neurovascular business. The role is onsite five days per week and requires collaboration with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to support supplier qualification, performance monitoring, new product introductions, and process improvements. Travel to supplier locations may be required for audits, assessments, and supplier development activities." We can combine these into About the role paragraph(s). Might be two paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Primary Responsibilities". Also earlier sentence: "As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you will partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure purchased materials and components meet quality and regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle. This role supports supplier qualification, new product development activities, supplier performance improvement, and investigation of supplier-related quality issues that could impact product performance, manufacturing operations, or patient outcomes." We can incorporate that as part of responsibilities prose or as bullet items. We'll include bullet list from Primary Responsibilities plus maybe the earlier sentence as a prose p before list? But we can just include the bullet list; the earlier sentence is somewhat covered by bullets. To preserve all info, we could include a short p summarizing then list. But we can also just include the bullet list; the earlier sentence is not duplicated exactly but its content is covered by bullets (supplier qualification, new product development, supplier performance improvement, investigation). It's okay. Now Required Qualifications bullet list: - Bachelor's degree and 4+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree and 2+ years of relevant experience, or PhD. - Experience in supplier quality, quality engineering, manufacturing quality, or a related quality-focused engineering function. - Experience leading investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action activities for quality issues. - Experience working within a regulated quality management system and applying quality and compliance requirements. - Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and external suppliers to resolve quality and process issues. Now Preferred Qualifications bullet list: - Experience in the medical device industry or other highly regulated industries operating under applicable regulatory and quality standards. - Experience supporting new product development, design transfer, supplier development, or supplier qualification activities. - Experience conducting supplier audits and implementing supplier corrective action or corrective and preventive action programs. - Knowledge of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Design of Experiments (DOE), or process validation methodologies. - American Society for Quality certifications such as Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Supplier Quality Professional (CSQP), or Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification. - For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required. (This is actually a requirement for foreign degrees; maybe it's a requirement not preferred. It's a specific condition. Could be under Requirements.) We'll treat that as part of Requirements (since it's a degree requirement). We'll add as a bullet. Now Physical Job Requirements: generic statements about physical demands, reasonable accommodations, office role requirements. This is boilerplate but still substantive? It's generic but we might include under Requirements? However it's not specific to role; it's generic boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Physical Job Requirements might be considered boilerplate but it's about the job. Might be okay to keep? It's generic but still part of job description. However it's not specific to this role; it's standard. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit? The instruction says remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Physical Job Requirements is not exactly those categories but could be considered generic. I'd lean to keep it under Requirements as a note? But it's not specific. I'd omit to avoid filler. U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship: This is specific info about sponsorship. Could be under Requirements as a note. We'll include a short p under Requirements: "U.S. work authorization sponsorship (H-1B, TN, J, etc.) is offered exclusively for Principal-level roles and above; this role requires unrestricted U.S. work authorization at time of hire." Actually the posting says: "U.S. work authorization sponsorship (H-1B, TN, J, etc.) is offered exclusively for Principal-level roles and above, where specialized expertise aligns with long-term business needs. Roles below the Principal level require candidates to possess unrestricted U.S. work authorization at the time of hire and for the duration of employment." Since this role is likely not Principal level (Supplier Quality Engineer), we can note that unrestricted US work authorization required. We'll include that. Now Benefits: list: - Health, Dental and vision insurance - Health Savings Account - Healthcare Flexible Spending Account - Life insurance - Long-term disability leave - Dependent daycare spending account - Tuition assistance/reimbursement - Simple Steps (global well-being program) - Incentive plans - 401(k) plan plus employer contribution and match - Short-term disability - Paid time off - Paid holidays - Employee Stock Purchase Plan - Employee Assistance Program - Non-qualified Retirement Plan Supplement (subject to IRS earning minimums) - Capital Accumulation Plan (available to Vice Presidents and above, or subject to IRS earning minimums) Also note: Regular employees are those who are not temporary, such as interns. Temporary employees eligible for paid sick time, as required under applicable state law, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Some benefits may not apply to workers in Puerto Rico. We'll include the list. Pay: Sal
