Senior Systems Engineer - Onsite
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Key info:
- Title: Senior Systems Engineer - Onsite (but we do not repeat title as heading)

- "What YOU will do:" list of duties.
- "Qualifications You Must Have:" list.
- "Qualifications We Prefer:" list.
- "What We Offer:" benefits list.
- Salary range: The salary range for this role is 95,500 USD - 181,700 USD.

We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from role description paragraph), Responsibilities (the "What YOU will do:" list), Requirements (maybe security clearance and citizenship?), Qualifications (maybe combine Must Have and Prefer?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (What We Offer), Pay (salary range), Schedule (maybe not given; we have Onsite schedule? Not explicit; maybe we can omit Schedule if no content). The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So if schedule not given, omit.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, privacy policy, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them into sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no Senior Systems Engineer
. Use headings for sections only.
We need to use 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.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus produce something like:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...

Requirements
- U.S. citizenship required
- Active and transferable U.S. government DoD Secret Security Clearance required prior to start date

But we need to ensure we include all details: location, role type, sign-on bonus eligible, relocation assistance, etc. Those could be placed in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Details". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put location and role type in About the role paragraph.
Qualifications: Must Have and Prefer. Could combine into Qualifications section with two sublists? But we need to use - for any list. Could have two separate
under Qualifications heading, maybe with a introducing.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills section if no specific skills beyond qualifications. But we could treat qualifications as skills? However instruction: Use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. There is a "Skills" heading in the list of possible headings, but we don't have a explicit skills list separate from qualifications. Could omit Skills.
Benefits: from What We Offer.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: Not given; maybe we can omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information: include sign-on bonus eligible, relocation assistance, employee referral eligible, etc. Those could be placed in Benefits or About the role.

We need to avoid repeating boilerplate like "Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite." That's somewhat repetitive; we can keep a concise version.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can condense but not lose detail. However we must not invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be okay if we keep the same meaning? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That suggests we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the details as is, maybe bullet points.
Thus we need to include each bullet point as is.
We need to avoid duplication: The Must Have and Prefer lists have overlapping items; we should keep both as separate lists under Qualifications heading, maybe with subheadings? But we only allowed headings for sections; we could have a
introducing Must Have and then a

. That's okay.

We need to include that it's a U.S.-based role.
