We need to output only HTML fragment, using
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, there is a description about Johnson Outdoors, location, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have: - Intro: "At Johnson Outdoors, home to some of the world’s most innovative and best-known outdoor recreation brands, we create amazing outdoor experiences - for adventurers, by adventurers. Check out each of the unique Johnson Outdoor brands in Fishing, Camping, Watercraft and Diving!If you like the outdoors, the reward of designing consumer products, and a great team environment, this position is for you.

That's more about company/location, could be "About the role" or maybe we treat as "About the role". We'll put that in
under
About the role
. Then responsibilities: "As our Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll be responsible for managing the design and development of innovative new products from conception through production- ensuring that our ideas turn into products that further our mission of opening the world through the amazing awe of the great outdoors.You’ll flex your design experimentation skills, seeing three steps ahead, naturally anticipating performance and reliability issues, and troubleshooting effective solutions to ensure delivery of exceptional products.You’ll wow us with your project management skills, driving development timelines with ease and a can-do attitude - routinely making the impossible, possible, and the team around you better.If you thrive in a busy, small hands-on team environment, if you’re meticulous with testing and verification ensure design performance and reliability, if you want to create innovative and award-winning products that are industry leaders, then get in touch with us today!" Then "What you will do:" bullet list (actually sentences). We'll treat as responsibilities list. Then "What you need to succeed:" list of qualifications/requirements. Then "Compensation range $100,000 to $123,000 depending upon experience." That's Pay. Then "A few pointers about our culture:" maybe not needed; could be part of About the role or maybe we ignore as not a required heading. Then "What you will receive:" list of benefits. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present, so omit. We need to decide which headings to use: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications maybe but better to separate if distinct. The posting has "What you need to succeed:" which includes degree, experience, knowledge, etc. That's both Requirements and Qualifications. Could treat as Requirements. Skills: maybe "Advanced proficiency with specific computer based analysis, simulation and design tools." etc. Could be Skills. We'll parse: About the role: intro paragraph about company, location, etc. Responsibilities: list of duties from "As our Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer..." and the "What you will do:" bullet points. Requirements: maybe "Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (BSME), engineering technology (BSET) or equivalent. 7 years of experience in mechanical design engineering within consumer product design." plus maybe "Advanced knowledge of material science..." etc. But those are more qualifications. Qualifications: maybe the advanced knowledge etc. Skills: "Advanced proficiency with specific computer based analysis, simulation and design tools." plus "Excellent communication skills", "Comfortable working in a lean and fast-paced environment", "Demonstrated creativity with strong analytical and technical expertise." We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract bullet points. From "What you will do:" (responsibilities): - Take a lead role in the development of new products from initial concepts, design prototyping, product testing to production implementation efficiently and effectively based on thorough knowledge of company strategy and needs and advanced design skills. - Manage a variety of moderately complex to complex projects from concept, design, and through completion. Develop timelines and ensure project success by maintaining timeline targets, budget responsibilities and quality requirements. - Perform prototype design experimentation, rapid prototype and conventional prototype fabrication. prototype design(s) for performance and reliability. - Conduct and document technical feasibility evaluations, qualifications field and competitive testing to verify the design. Formulates development, unit and tooling cost estimates. - Perform advanced troubleshooting of mechanical design issues during development after the production start. Collaborate with various internal teams to resolve issues and ensure the development of a quality product that support company and consumer needs. - Write product specifications and provide prints documentation and testing verification methods to source and inspect the product. Ensure the product meets specifications and publish testing results. - Produce project documentation that includes prints, engineering files, supplier communications and Engineering Change Orders (ECO’s). - Assist operations and outside suppliers through new product development stages of new products with tooling, process methods, assembly plans and forecasting capacity requirements. Also earlier responsibilities: managing design and development, design experimentation skills, project management skills, thriving in busy small hands-on team environment, meticulous with testing and verification, desire to create innovative award-winning products. We'll combine into a- list.
Now "What you need to succeed:":
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (BSME), engineering technology (BSET) or equivalent.
- 7 years of experience in mechanical design engineering within consumer product design.
- Advanced knowledge of material science with primary disciplines in combustion technology, plastic injection molding, die-casting and sheet metal fabrication and processes.
- Knowledge of and experience in reading and drawing schematics.
- Advanced understanding of and experience in product development from concept through production which includes a core understanding of the new product process, financial modeling (EVA) and timeline management.
- Proven experience in generating, designing and executing concepts into manufacturable designs.
- Demonstrated knowledge of and experience in managing more complex projects from concept to completion.
- Demonstrated creativity with strong analytical and technical expertise.
- Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with a variety of internal teams as well as external contacts.
- Advanced proficiency with specific computer based analysis, simulation and design tools.
- Comfortable working in a lean and fast-paced environment
We could split: Requirements: degree, years experience. Qualifications: advanced knowledge, etc. Skills: communication, proficiency, comfort with fast-paced, creativity, analytical.
But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section "Requirements" (or "Qualifications") and have Skills separate. However we have headings list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we could use both if we have distinct content. Let's see if we can differentiate: Requirements could be the baseline (degree, experience). Qualifications could be the advanced knowledge, etc. Skills could be communication, tools, etc.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Now Benefits: from "What you will receive:":
- Share in the company’s success with competitive base salary, with additional earning potential through participation in the annual discretionary cash profit sharing program, eligibility for annual pay increases, and employee stock purchase plans.
- Find work/life balance with generous Paid Time Off and holiday benefits, a full benefits package, and broad range of employee support and fitness and wellness plans.

- Plan for your future with our 401(k) with company match and deferred retirement contributions, Sons & Daughters Scholarship program, life and LTD insurance, employee stock purchase plan, and more.
Note: compensation already covered in Pay section; but benefits includes salary mention again; we can still include but avoid duplication? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the benefit statements as they are, even if they mention salary. However Pay section already has compensation range. We'll keep both.
Pay: "Compensation range $100,000 to $123,000 depending upon experience."
Schedule: none.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
