Spirit Defense - Manufacturing Engineer (Associate or Mid-level)

Spirit Defense, A Boeing Company · Wichita, KS · 1 mo ago
Engineering$72k–$110k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraph about Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have responsibilities listed. We have Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience). Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience). Also Union, Drug Free Workplace, Pay & Benefits, Kansas Tax Credit, Security Clearance, Visa Sponsorship, Export Control Requirements, Equal Opportunity Employer (boilerplate to remove). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop Equal Opportunity Employer line. Also drop duplicated lines like "Export Control Requirements:" appears twice; we keep content but not duplicate heading. Also drop "Visa Sponsorship: Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status." That's substantive? It's a condition; maybe keep under a section like "Additional Information". But we only have predefined headings; we could put under "Qualifications" or "Skills"? Might be better to create a section "Additional Information" but not in list. The instruction says use those headings as examples, but not limited? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings; we could also use other headings if needed? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings where applicable. We have Responsibilities, Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred), Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay. Also we have About the role (intro). We have Schedule? Not present. So we omit Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like union, drug free workplace, Kansas tax credit, security clearance, export control, visa sponsorship. Where to place? Could be under "Additional Information" but not in list. Maybe we can incorporate them into relevant sections: Union and Drug Free Workplace could be under "Benefits"? Not exactly. Could be under "Qualifications"? Not. Could be under "Skills"? Not. Perhaps we create a section "Additional Information" with heading

Additional Information

. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies we can use those headings, but not prohibited to use others. Safer to stick to those headings; we could put union/drug free under "Benefits" maybe as part of benefits description. Pay & Benefits section already includes benefits description; we can add union and drug free there. Kansas tax credit could be under Benefits as well. Security clearance and export control could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Visa sponsorship could be under "Requirements". Let's see. We have Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience): Bachelors degree in engineering from an ABET accredited program 2+ years of relevant experience Ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience): Mid-Level (Level 3): 5+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience 5+ years of relevant engineering experience within a Manufacturing Engineering environment Excellent communication and interpersonal skills – interface with customers and suppliers Knowledge of engineering systems and the ability to deploy the Continuous Improvement Toolset – Seven Wastes etc. Detailed knowledge of design methods both on 2d and 3d design platforms with excellent drawing/design interpretation skills Practical engineering knowledge Strong understanding of metallic & composite manufacturing techniques & treatment processes Self-driven with a ‘can-do’ attitude Fluent working knowledge of the Microsoft Suite - Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook Union: This is a union-represented position. Drug Free Workplace: We are a Drug Free Workplace where post offer applicants and employees are subject to testing for marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, PCP, and alcohol when criteria is met as outlined in our policies. Pay & Benefits: We strive to deliver a Total Rewards package that will attract, engage and retain the top talent. Elements of the Total Rewards package include competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities. We also provide eligible employees with an opportunity to enroll in a variety of benefit programs, generally including health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and a number of programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work. The specific programs and options available to any given employee may vary depending on eligibility factors such as geographic location, date of hire, and the applicability of collective bargaining agreements. Pay is based upon candidate experience and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations. Summary Pay Range - Associate (Level 2): $71,650 - $109,800 Summary Pay Range - Mid-Level (Level 3): $85,600 - $131,200 Kansas Tax Credit: Join Spirit AeroSystems’ Kansas team and you may be eligible for a $5,000 state of Kansas Aviation tax credit for up to five years.

Equal Opportunity Employer boilerplate to remove. We need to remove duplicated lines: "Export Control Requirements:" appears twice; we keep one. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions like "Click here to apply". There's a "Click here for more information on the tax credit." That's a link; maybe we should keep the text but not the link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Click here for more information on the tax credit." is a link; we could keep the sentence but maybe drop the link markup. Since we output plain HTML, we can keep the text as is, but the link is not needed. We could keep "Click here for more information on the tax credit." as plain text. Now structure:

        Skills

        maybe we could combine some skills from above? But we already have qualifications covering skills. Could we omit Skills section? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We already have Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We could add Benefits and Pay sections. We have Pay & Benefits content. Could split into

        Benefits

        and

        Pay

        . But we could combine them under Benefits? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. We have both pay ranges and benefits description. So we can have both. Benefits section: include union, drug free workplace, Kansas tax credit, benefit programs description. Pay section: include summary pay ranges and note about pay based on experience. We also have Security Clearance, Visa Sponsorship, Export Control Requirements. Where to place? Could be under Requirements (as additional requirements) or Qualifications. Since we already have Requirements for basic qualifications, we could add those as additional requirements under Requirements. But the basic qualifications already includes ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance. The security clearance section repeats that plus citizenship requirement. We could incorporate that into Requirements as an extra bullet: "Must be a U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (U.S. Person) to meet export control compliance requirements." Actually export control is separate. Let's think. We have: - Ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance (already in Basic Qualifications) - Security Clearance section: requires ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. A final U.S. Secret Clearance Post-Start is required. - Export Control Requirements: must meet export control compliance requirements; a “U.S. Person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. 120.15 is required. Includes U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee. - Visa Sponsorship: Employer will not sponsor applicants for
