We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content: job description includes overview, responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), leadership behaviors, skills list, education & experience, pay range, benefits description. Also shift info: regular hours day shift (Schedule). Also maybe "About the role" could be the introductory paragraph about company and role. We need to not repeat job title as heading. We'll produce sections: - About the role: maybe combine the introductory paragraphs (Forming Our Future together ... The regular hours for this position are day shift.) Actually shift is separate. - Responsibilities: list of duties from Key Responsibilities and Leadership and Team Development and Leadership Behaviors? Those are responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe Education & Experience. - Qualifications: maybe not separate; could combine with Requirements? But we need to follow headings only if content. Could have Requirements and Qualifications separate if distinct. The posting has "Education & Experience" as requirements; also "Skills" list. So we can have Requirements (education & experience), Qualifications maybe not needed; but we have Skills list separate. - Skills: list of skills. - Benefits: description of benefits package. - Pay: pay range. - Schedule: shift info (day shift). We must not include boilerplate like EEO, remote eligibility list, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Introductory paragraph: "Forming Our Future together FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM), is a leading provider of essential test and measurement technologies along the full semiconductor product life cycle — from characterization, modeling, reliability, and design de-bug, to qualification and production test. Semiconductor companies rely upon FormFactor’s products and services to accelerate profitability by optimizing device performance and advancing yield knowledge. The company serves customers through its network of facilities in Asia, Europe, and North America. Rooted in our core values — Focus on the Customer, Ownership & Accountability, Respectfully & Effectively Communicate, and Motivate & Develop People — we foster an environment where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated. Everyone can make an impact here. Whether it's improving products, supporting customers, or positively influencing peers and the community, the contributions of our people matter." Then shift: "The regular hours for this position are day shift." Then "Job Description" heading but we ignore as it's just a label. Then "We are seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to step into the role of Sr. Director, Operations for our Livermore factory. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Operations, this position plays a vital role in shaping the vision, operational excellence, and ongoing advancement of our global operations. This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for the full operational, strategic, and cultural direction of the site. The ideal candidate will bring deep semiconductor manufacturing expertise, a passion for technical excellence, and a proven ability to lead high-performing teams in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment." That could be part of About the role. Then "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points: - Operational Leadership Oversee all fab operations including wafer fabrication, assembly & test, equipment engineering, process control, and facilities. - Drive first-pass line yield to industry benchmarks through a “first time right” culture. - Lead technology transfer of key process capabilities between sites to build a resilient, flexible global supply chain network. - Drive cycle time performance to best-in-class benchmarks through disciplined execution and continuous improvement. - Develop and maintain a dynamic capacity model to support technology ramps and volume scaling. - Manage COGS elements—labor, materials, equipment—to meet aggressive financial targets. - Oversee equipment lifecycle planning aligned with technology nodes and productivity goals. - Implement best-in-class practices in lean manufacturing, SPC, and automation. - Strategic Execution Define and execute a long-range site strategy including capital investment, inventory optimization, and cycle time reduction. - Collaborate with R&D and business units to align fab capabilities with future node transitions and customer needs. - Identify and pursue new business opportunities that position the fab as a strategic growth enabler. - Leadership and Team Development Provide visionary leadership and strategic direction to the global facilities team, fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and accountability. - Mentor and develop high-performing teams, cultivating talent and building capabilities aligned with FormFactor’s growth and operational goals. - Collaborate effectively with cross-functional leaders, driving company-wide initiatives and ensuring strategic alignment with business objectives. - Attract, retain, and develop top talent across engineering, operations, and support functions. - Leadership Behaviors Lead with Ownership & Clarity: Make confident, insight-driven decisions and challenge conventional thinking. - Motivate & Develop Exceptional Teams: Build trust, inspire excellence, and enable teams to solve complex challenges. - Focus on the Customer & shape what’s next: Lead with foresight, anticipate change, and drive innovation that scales. We need to keep each bullet as

  • . Some bullets contain multiple sentences; we keep as is. Then "Skills" list: Automation, Business Operations, Communication, Etching, Executive Influence, Film Deposition, Leadership, Leadership Development, Mentorship, Metrology, Negotiation, Operations Management, P&L Reporting, People Management, Photolithography, Problem Solving, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Stakeholder Dialogue, Team Development, Team Management We need to output as
    • each. Then "Education & Experience": Minimum of 14+ years of related experience, including leadership roles, with a Bachelor’s degree; or 12 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 10 years experience; or equivalent experience We need to keep that as prose maybe

      . Then Pay: "$213,800.00 - $280,560.00" plus explanation: "This role in Livermore, California pays between $213,800.00 and $280,560.00 per year, depending on your experience, skills, and background. Pay may vary in other locations." We need to include Pay section with that content. Benefits: "We offer a full benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, a 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), and paid time off. You’ll also be eligible for quarterly profit-sharing bonuses and flexible spending or savings accounts." Schedule: "The regular hours for this position are day shift." We must not include EEO statement, remote eligibility list, etc. Now structure:

      We need to ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed. Check for any boilerplate: removed EEO, remote list, etc. Check for any placeholder like "commensurate with experience": none. Now produce HTML fragment. Make sure to properly escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the introductory paragraphs and the job description paragraph. Intro: "Forming Our Future together FormFactor, Inc.

Everyone can make an impact here. Whether it's improving products, supporting customers, or positively influencing peers and the community, the contributions of our people matter." Then job description paragraph: "We are seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to step into the role of Sr. Director, Operations for our Livermore factory.

The ideal candidate will bring deep semiconductor manufacturing expertise, a passion for technical excellence, and a proven ability to lead high-performing teams in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment." Combine into one

      maybe two

      but we can put both in one

      separated by space. It's okay. Now Responsibilities list: need to ensure each bullet is a full sentence. We'll copy each bullet exactly as in posting. Let's list them: - Oversee all fab operations including wafer fabrication, assembly & test, equipment engineering, process control, and facilities. - Drive first-pass line yield to industry benchmarks through a “first time right” culture. - Lead technology transfer of key process capabilities between sites to build a resilient, flexible global supply chain network. - Drive cycle time performance to best-in-class benchmarks through disciplined execution and continuous improvement. - Develop and maintain a dynamic capacity model to support technology ramps and volume scaling. - Manage COGS elements—labor, materials, equipment—to meet aggressive financial targets. - Oversee equipment lifecycle planning aligned with technology nodes and productivity goals. - Implement best-in-class practices in lean manufacturing, SPC, and automation. - Define and execute a long-range site strategy including capital investment, inventory optimization, and cycle time reduction. - Collaborate with R&D and business units to align fab capabilities with future node transitions and customer needs. - Identify and pursue new business opportunities that position the fab as a strategic growth enabler. - Provide visionary leadership and strategic direction to the global facilities team, fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and accountability. - Mentor and develop high-performing teams, cultivating talent and building capabilities aligned with FormFactor’s growth and operational goals. - Collaborate effectively with cross-functional leaders, driving company-wide initiatives and ensuring strategic alignment with business objectives. - Attract, retain, and develop top talent across engineering, operations, and support functions. - Lead with Ownership & Clarity: Make confident, insight-driven decisions and challenge conventional thinking. - Motivate & Develop Exceptional Teams: Build trust, inspire excellence, and enable teams to solve complex challenges. - Focus on the Customer & shape what’s next: Lead with foresight, anticipate change, and drive innovation that scales.
