Software Engineer (AHRS)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content.
Title: Software Engineer (but we don't repeat as heading). We'll produce sections.
We need to identify sections:
- About the role: description of position: "As a Software Engineer, you will provide engineering and technical support..." etc. That's prose.
- Responsibilities: maybe "WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT..." list of duties.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "THIS POSITION MAY BE FOR YOU IF…" list of requirements.
- Skills: maybe "WE WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF…" (nice-to-have) could be Skills or Additional qualifications.
- Benefits: "WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK…" includes above-market pay, comprehensive benefits package, etc. Also mention specific benefits: food drive, food truck fest, fruit/donut day, employee luncheons, wellness challenges, ticket raffles. Also mention climate controlled facility, professional light manufacturing environment, frequent events.
- Pay: "above-market pay" mentioned but no specific numbers. The rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific). It says "above-market pay" but not a number or range. It's vague. Should we include Pay? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says "above-market pay" is a statement but not specific. Might be considered stating pay (though vague). However they said "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "above-market pay" is not exactly filler but still vague. Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to not create Pay section, but we could include Benefits section that mentions above-market pay as part of benefits. The Benefits section can include that statement.
- Schedule: not mentioned.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe we can call it "About the role" or "Position Overview"), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills (nice-to-have), Benefits.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's none evident.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading.
Let's extract each piece.
First paragraph: "COME JOIN MID-CONTINENT! “Where your work is valued—above-market pay, real work-life balance, and a team that feels like home.” THE POSITION… As a Software Engineer, you will provide engineering and technical support in the evaluation and testing of existing and emerging technologies, systems, and capabilities. You will design avionics, power electronics, and battery systems with an emphasis on AHRS and INS products using the latest advances in sensor technologies. You’ll create unique intellectual property to address the growing demand for software-defined behavior. You can expect a variety of opportunities ranging from products for cockpit displays, instruments and navigational references based on local and remote sensor inputs. Additional products include data conversion and storage, lithium battery management, AC and DC power conversion, and in-seat power solutions."
That's about the role.
Next: "THIS POSITION MAY BE FOR YOU IF…" list:
- You have a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering or related field.
- You have a minimum of 10 years of experience designing embedded software in the U.S.
- You have a minimum of 5 years of experience as principal designer for AHRS and INS solutions.
- You have a minimum of 5 years of experience characterizing and calibrating inertial sensor devices.
- You have the ability to work directly with target hardware, including lab bench equipment, other tools for debugging and analysis.
- You have proficiency programming in C.
- You are proficient with Microsoft Office.
- You have strong attention to detail.
- You are organized, focused, and results oriented.
- You are a problem-solver with critical thinking and prioritizing skills.
- You have excellent verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills.
Next: "WE WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF… (but it’s not a deal breaker)" list:
- You have experience with C#, C++, or Python languages for PC application software.
- You have experience with VHDL.
- You have experience designing safety-critical software, utilizing RTCA DO-178, DO-254 or similar processes.
- You have experience designing or troubleshooting PCB system hardware.
- You have experience with Design for Manufacture and Design for Test (DFM & DFT).
Next: "WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT…" list:
- Design and implement embedded C software for bare-metal microcontroller-based systems with an option for VHDL firmware for FPGA-based systems
- Architect and implement ARHS and INS products utilizing MEMS, FOG or other commercially available technologies
- Design tools to support manufacturing, calibration and verification of safety-critical products
- Build and troubleshoot hardware, including basic soldering, operation of test equipment, and daily work in both office and test lab environments
- Prototype and execute test programs to verify compliance with applicable performance, regulatory, and quality requirements
Note: there's a typo "ARHS" but we keep as is.
Next: "WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK…" paragraph:
- We provide above-market pay and a comprehensive benefits package.
- We promote an environment where you can excel in your career while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
- Our facility is climate controlled, clean, organized, and safe.
- We operate in a professional, light manufacturing environment.
- We believe anything worth doing is worth doing right – every time.
- We have frequent events to keep work interesting.
- Our food drive is super impressive, we have an annual food truck fest appreciation day, monthly fruit/donut day, employee luncheons throughout the year, wellness challenges with incentives and frequent ticket raffles for local sporting and cultural events.
- We have a small company feel – even though we’re doing big things!
Next: "WHO WE ARE…" paragraph about company history. This is also substantive but maybe not needed as a section? Could be "About the company". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Who we are" could be considered "About the company" but not in list. However we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section "About the company". But instructions: use headings for those specific section names. It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. implies those are examples, not exclusive list. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits. Possibly also About the company but maybe not needed.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit "WHO WE ARE…" we would lose that info. So we need to include it somewhere. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About the company". Since not in the list but we can still use for a heading; they didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can add "About the company". That seems reasonable.
Thus sections:
- About the role (initial description)
- Responsibilities (WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT)
- Requirements (THIS POSITION MAY BE FOR YOU IF…)
- Skills (WE WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF…)
- Benefits (WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK…)
- About the company (WHO WE ARE…)
We need to ensure we don't create Pay or Schedule sections.
Now format.
We'll output HTML fragment:
