We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About the role: The paragraph after "At Collins Aerospace, we’re not just building components..." up to "If you’re ready to take your additive manufacturing expertise to the next level and help shape the future of aerospace manufacturing, we want to hear from you." That's description.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You Will Do". Each line is a duty. Should be

- About the role: The paragraph after "At Collins Aerospace, we’re not just building components..." up to "If you’re ready to take your additive manufacturing expertise to the next level and help shape the future of aerospace manufacturing, we want to hear from you." That's description.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You Will Do". Each line is a duty. Should be - .
- Requirements: The line "U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements: U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract." Also maybe "Security Clearance Type: None/Not Required" etc. But these are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for citizenship requirement.
- Qualifications: There's "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer". Those are qualifications. Should be under
Qualifications. Possibly split into Must Have and Preferred? But we can combine as list.
- Skills: The posting includes many skill-like items under "Qualifications We Prefer": strong understanding of mechanical..., hands-on experience with CNC machining, ability to read drawings, GD&T, 3D modeling, experience with multi-laser powder bed fusion, familiarity with equipment, MS Word/Excel, communication skills, regulated manufacturing environment. Those could be considered Skills. But we already have Qualifications section; maybe we separate Skills as separate heading if there is distinct content. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have both "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer". That's enough for Qualifications.
- Benefits: The "What We Offer" list includes many benefits. That's substantive. So Benefits section.
- Pay: The posting includes "The salary range for this role is 43,400 USD - 82,600 USD." That's pay info. So Pay section.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides "Onsite" role type. No schedule details like full-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Requirements (citizenship) as a short p under maybe Requirements heading? But we could fold citizenship into a short p under About the role? Better to have Requirements heading with short paragraph.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove all that.
Now craft HTML.
We need to use for each section heading. Use
for prose. Use
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role prose: Combine the paragraphs from "At Collins Aerospace, we’re not just building components..." to the end before "What You Will Do". Let's capture:
"At Collins Aerospace, we’re not just building components—we’re advancing the technologies that will define the future of aerospace and defense.
