We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary (company description) maybe as About the role? 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:
- Summary (company overview) could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But they said "About the role" as example. We can treat summary as About the role.
- Duties & Responsibilities: we have a long list. 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:
- Summary (company overview) could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But they said "About the role" as example. We can treat summary as About the role.
- Duties & Responsibilities: we have a long list. Use Responsibilities
with - items.
- Required Qualifications: we can treat as Qualifications.
- Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements: could be Skills.
- Pay: they gave pay range: "Job Posting Pay Range: 81,900 to 152,100". So we can include Pay section.
- Benefits: they mention "VIAVI offers a competitive benefits package that includes paid time off, health, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and a bonus program." So Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
- Requirements: maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have Required Qualifications and Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements. Could split into Qualifications and Skills.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. The posting includes "VIAVI Solutions is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer – minorities/females/veterans/persons with disabilities." That's boilerplate; remove.
Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content:
Summary paragraph: "VIAVI (NASDAQ: VIAV) is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions for telecommunications, cloud, enterprises, first responders, military, aerospace, and railway. VIAVI is also a leader in light management technologies for 3D sensing, anti-counterfeiting, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, government and aerospace applications. We are the people behind the products that help keep the world connected at home, school, work, at play, and everywhere in between. VIAVI employees are passionate about supporting customer success and we welcome people who bring their best every day to the company – to question, to collaborate and to push for solutions that will delight our customers."
That's About the role (or company). We'll put in
.
Duties & Responsibilities: The block after "Duties & Responsibilities:" includes a long paragraph with many sentences. We need to break into list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert each duty into a
- . The text includes many sentences separated by periods. We can split into logical items.
Let's parse:
"Global Operations Engineering NPI team in Calabasas with bringing VIAVI's next generation of High-Speed Ethernet test instruments from PD (Product Development) into the world class manufacturing operations. As the Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you know how these products get built: the process and test flow, the tooling and fixturing, the work instructions, and the qualification that proves the line can produce them best good, reliable products. You will work in close partnership with the PD HSE and with our internal and contract manufacturing factories."
Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities NPI Design for Manufacturing, Test and Assembly Develops, implements and maintains methods, operation sequence and processes in the manufacture or fabrication of parts, components, sub‑assemblies and final assemblies. Interfaces with design engineering in coordinating the release of new products. Estimates manufacturing cost, determines time standards, and makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements of new or existing product lines. Maintains records and reporting systems for coordination of manufacturing operations."
Then "Lead and create the NPI best manufacturing operations to deliver world class products by defining metrics and processes, testing and readiness of the product launches into the manufacturing readiness."
Then "Provide strong technical leadership and guidelines both to the internal and external team through clear analytical direction in resolving operational problems."
Then "Project status to deliver management level presentations and technical reports."
Then "Establish the Design for Manufacturing Assembly/Test, DFX(DFM/DFT/DFA) to engage the Contract manufacturer from early product life cycle to incorporate the inputs into the design."
Then "Establish the manufacturing engineering deliverables of the SMT PCBA processes, Structural test (AOI, Xray, Flying Probe, ICT), JTAG, Sub assembly and System Functional Test and Chassis Box Build assembly."
Then "Review Product Line Management (PLM) - Bill of Materials (BOM) & Engineering Change Order (ECOProcess Metric standards of the Product, Statistical Process Analysis, Failure Analysis, and data collections."
Then "Participate in design reviews as the manufacturing voice; quantify the cost and yield impact of design choices rather than asserting them."
Then "NPI Engineering Qualification and test program validation (PROTO, FMEA and DVT)."
Then "Budget capital planning for project mechanical tools, software, and hardware test equipment."
Then "Provide extensive and ongoing support to contract manufacturing counterpart (Contract Manufacturer)."
We'll turn each sentence or clause into
- . Ensure we keep all info.
Now Required Qualifications: list bullet points.
"Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field."
"5~8+ Years in SMT PCBA Manufacturing and Box Build or NPI Process/Test Engineering: Developing and qualifying assembly processes for electronic, electromechanical, or High-Speed Ethernet products."
"NPI Toolset: Demonstrated command of DFM/DFT/DFA, PFMEA, control plans, first article inspection, process capability analysis, and build manufacturing readiness reviews."
"Effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously. Both OEMs & third-party suppliers."
"Documentation Discipline: Proven ability to author clear, unambiguous work instructions and process specifications that a production operator can follow."
"Tooling and Fixture Development: Experience specifying and qualifying assembly tooling and fixtures by partnering with the Contract manufacturer counterpart."
"Statistical Methods: Practical application of SPC, Cpk, and root cause problem-solving methodologies (8D, 4M - Process capability, 5-Why)."
"Demonstrated leadership and self-motivation; effective cross-functional collaborator who can fully represent manufacturing engineering on a distributed, multi-site product development team."
"Firsthand leadership in developing and transitioning new products into manufacturing."
"Working with a cross-functional team to plan and manage engineering changes to manufacture products to meet customer delivery requirements."
"Good Judgement, Adaptability and Maturity."
"Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (approximately >30%) to support global manufacturing operations."
Now Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements: The paragraph: "If you have what it takes to push boundaries and seize opportunities, apply to join our team today." That's fluff, maybe not substantive. But we could treat as Skills? However it's just a call to action, not specific skill. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, application instructions. This is like a call to apply; maybe we should drop it as it's not substantive skill. But we could still include a Skills section if there are specific skills listed elsewhere. There's no explicit skills list beyond qualifications. So maybe we omit Skills section.
But we have "Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements:" heading but content is just that sentence. Since it's not substantive, we should not create a Skills section.
Thus we have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
Now Pay: "Job Posting Pay Range: 81,900 to 152,100 Exceptional qualifications, experience and location may impact salary." We'll put in
.
Benefits: "VIAVI offers a competitive benefits package that includes paid time off, health, life and disability insurance, 401(k), and a bonus program." We'll put in
.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO.
Now produce HTML fragment:
