On-siteQuality AssuranceFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description (About the role?), responsibilities list, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, physical and environmental requirements. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine required qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills? There's no explicit skills list separate. Could embed skills within qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing role: "Vulcan Elements is manufacturing... The Senior Manager, Quality will build and lead..." That's about the role. So we can put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: There's a big list under "Responsibilities". So include that. - Requirements: Could be the "Required Qualifications" section. That's requirements. - Qualifications: Could be "Preferred Qualifications". That's qualifications. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from required qualifications but better not to create a section without specific content. So omit Skills. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not present, omit. Also Physical and Environmental Requirements: Could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in the list of allowed headings. Could fold into Requirements as a subsection? But we must only use allowed headings. Could include under Requirements as a

after required qualifications. Or we could create a separate section "Requirements" that includes both required qualifications and physical/environmental requirements. That seems okay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format as lists. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus: - About the role: prose

    containing the introductory paragraphs (maybe two paragraphs). Ensure we keep all info. - Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities

    then
      with each responsibility as
    • . The responsibilities list is long; we need to split into items. The original responsibilities are sentences separated by periods. We'll need to break them into list items preserving content. Must not lose any detail. - Requirements:

      Requirements

      then maybe
        for required qualifications and also physical/environmental requirements? Could separate into two
          or combine. Probably better to have two
            : one for Required Qualifications, another for Physical and Environmental Requirements. But the instruction says use
            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists. We need to include all required qualifications bullet points: Bachelor's degree..., 10+ years..., Experience in a materials-intensive..., Demonstrated experience..., Experience developing..., Demonstrated experience with APQP/PPAP..., Experience establishing..., Strong customer-facing..., Must be a U.S. Person... We also have Preferred Qualifications: list bullet points. Physical and Environmental Requirements: paragraph describing requirements; could be turned into list items? It's a paragraph with multiple sentences. Could be a

              but instruction says use

              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of requirements (physical). Could be a list. We'll make a
                  with each sentence as
                • . We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine the first paragraph(s) up to "The Senior Manager, Quality will build and lead the Quality organization for Vulcan Elements' Benson manufacturing facility." plus maybe the next sentences about establishing QMS etc. Actually the description includes responsibilities but we already have a Responsibilities section. The About the role should be the overview before responsibilities. Let's extract: "Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for critical defense, aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. We are building a team committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence, and Integrity. The Senior Manager, Quality will build and lead the Quality organization for Vulcan Elements' Benson manufacturing facility. This leader will establish the plant Quality Management System, lead ISO 9001 certification, stand up the analytical laboratory and production quality capabilities, and ensure Benson is prepared to qualify and release commercial product. The role spans the complete value stream—from incoming materials and metallurgical processing through machining, coating, magnetic characterization, dimensional inspection, and finished-product release. The Senior Manager will work closely with R&D, the pilot facility, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Commercial, and customers to transfer product and process knowledge into capable, repeatable commercial quality controls. This role begins in Durham, NC and is expected to move to Benson, NC upon completion of new facility." That's the overview. We'll put that in a

                  (maybe multiple

                  but we can combine into one

                  with line breaks? Better to keep as one

                  but could split into multiple

                  for readability. The instruction: use

                  for prose. So we can have multiple

                  elements. We'll split into logical paragraphs: first sentence about Vulcan Elements, second about team commitment, third about role, fourth about leader responsibilities, fifth about role span, sixth about working closely, seventh about location. Now Responsibilities: we need to break the responsibilities block into list items. The block after "Responsibilities" includes many sentences each ending with a period. We'll split each sentence into an

                • . Ensure we keep all content. Let's list them: 1. Build and lead the Benson Quality organization, including quality engineering, laboratory, metrology/inspection, and supplier quality capabilities. 2. Establish the plant Quality Management System and lead Benson through ISO 9001 certification, with systems scalable to automotive and aerospace customer requirements. 3. Establish effective processes for nonconformance and product disposition, corrective action, traceability, calibration, audits, change control, and continuous improvement. 4. Own the buildout and readiness of the Benson analytical laboratory and production inspection capability for product commissioning, qualification, and full-rate manufacturing. 5. Define required laboratory and metrology equipment, technical requirements and acceptance criteria; partner with Procurement and Engineering to place equipment POs and manage vendors through installation, calibration, training, and acceptance. 6. Partner with R&D and the pilot facility on analytical and test-method development, and own their validation, transfer, control, and implementation for commercial production. 7. Lead the cross-functional development and release of process flows, PFMEAs, Control Plans, inspection/test plans, sampling strategies, MSA, and reaction plans for critical material, process, and finished-part characteristics. 8. Serve as the Quality lead for pilot-to-commercial technology transfer, ensuring critical material attributes, process parameters, test methods, specifications, and lessons learned are incorporated into commercial manufacturing controls. 9. Work closely with Commercial and customer teams to translate customer drawings, specifications, and qualification requirements into measurable manufacturing controls and acceptance criteria. 10. Ensure manufacturing processes and measurement systems demonstrate appropriate capability before product release. 11. Lead Quality deliverables for product and process qualification, APQP/PPAP, first article, safe launch, and customer-specific requirements as applicable. 12. Provide Quality leadership through equipment commissioning, manufacturing readiness, startup, and production ramp. 13. Own quality performance across incoming material, metallurgical processing, machining, coating, inspection, and finished-product release. 14. Serve as the plant Quality focal point for manufacturing-related customer concerns and complaints, leading containment, characterization, root cause investigation, corrective action, and formal customer response. 15. Ensure manufacturing issues are rigorously documented and that lessons learned are incorporated back into PFMEAs, Control Plans, specifications, and operating practices. 16. Drive process capability, first-pass yield, defect reduction, supplier quality, customer PPM/escapes, and other key plant quality metrics. 17. Responsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business. Note: The last sentence is a disclaimer; we should include it as part of responsibilities? It's more a note. Could include as an
                • but it's not a duty. Might be okay to include. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include it. It's a statement about responsibilities not exhaustive. We'll include as an
                • . Now Requirements section: We'll have two sublists: Required Qualifications and Physical and Environmental Requirements. Required Qualifications list: - Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline. - 10+ years of experience in manufacturing quality, materials/metallurgical engineering, or manufacturing operations, including 5+ years of leadership experience. - Experience in a materials-intensive and/or precision-parts manufacturing environment such as metals, powder metallurgy, automotive, aerospace, advanced materials, heat treatment, machining, or similar manufacturing. - Demonstrated experience spanning material/process quality and finished-part quality, including dimensional inspection, metrology, machining, or precision manufacturing. - Experience developing and implementing PFMEAs, Control Plans, MSA, SPC/process capability, inspection plans, and corrective actions in a production environment. - Demonstrated experience with APQP/PPAP or comparable customer product and process qualification, including translation of drawings and specifications into manufacturing quality requirements. - Experience establishing or significantly developing a manufacturing QMS and supporting or leading ISO 9001 or comparable certification. - Strong customer-facing problem-solving and communication skills, including structured RCA/8D and resolution of manufacturing quality issues. - Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities. Now Preferred Qualifications list (under Qualifications section): - Greenfield manufacturing, major expansion, or new-product/process launch experience. - Experience establishing or managing a metallurgical/materials laboratory, dimensional metrology function, or production testing organization. - Experience transferring new materials or processes from development or pilot scale into commercial manufacturing. - Working knowledge of IATF 16949, customer-specific requirements, GD&T, AS9100, magnetic materials, or powder metallurgy. Now Physical and Environmental Requirements: we can make a list: - The position requires regular presence on the production floor and the ability to navigate all areas of the facility. - Candidates must be able to climb stairs, stand and walk for extended periods, and work in environments that may be hot, humid, or noisy. - The role also requires the use of personal protective equipment, including respirators, and adherence to all applicable safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements. - Employees must be able to complete required fit testing, wear appropriate PPE for the duration of assigned tasks, and respond safely to changing conditions within the production environment. We could also include any other details; that's all. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat any content. The responsibilities list includes "Own the buildout and readiness of the Benson analytical laboratory and production inspection capability for product commissioning, qualification, and full-rate manufacturing." etc. That's fine. Now we need to output HTML fragment: start with

                  About the role

                  then

                  ... maybe multiple

                  . Then

                  Responsibilities

                  • ...
                  • ...
                  . Then

                  Requirements

                  then maybe

                  ?? Not allowed; we only have h3 for section headings. So we can't use h4. We could just have

                  Requirements

                  then

                  for intro? But we
