Sr. Principal Engineer RF Microwave Design

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We must parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: relocation assistance, clearance required, travel, etc. Those are metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for relocation assistance, clearance, travel maybe. But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details about role description, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Let's extract sections: - About the role: The paragraph starting "At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities..." up to "Northrop Grumman Missions Systems is seeking experienced RF engineers in the following areas: Antennas, Electromagnetics, Computational Electromagnetics, RF/Microwave design, Digital beamforming, Hardware/Subsystem Integration and Test, and Antenna Control Design." Also maybe the sentence about qualified candidate will work with diverse team... That could be part of About the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list after "What You'll Get To Do Responsibilities may include testing and troubleshooting Line Replacement Module (LRU) and Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA) of RF architecture, recommend data driven requirements threshold adjustments, perform subsystem analysis including hardware from RF to digits, support for performance testing, requirements verification, and more." Also "Experienced applicants will have experience in at least one type of these test set: Common RF Test Set (CRFTS), LM-STAR, Hiller Test sets, Phase Noise Test sets and consoles." That seems more like requirement. But responsibilities also include "support for performance testing, requirements verification, and more." We'll capture that. - Requirements: Basic Qualification: Bachelors Degree in Engineering or related discipline with 8 years of experience... etc. Also U.S. Citizenship required, current active Government Secret clearance required. Also "This role is contingent upon candidates having a current, active Government Secret Clearance." Also "Active Interim Secret or higher clearance." Also "The 1st shift schedule start hours are as follows: 5AM to 9 AM Monday through Friday (or, USA Flexible Schedule.)" That's schedule. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list: Experience Testing, Troubleshooting or designing RF hardware/subsystems, Troubleshot electronic equipment to the component level, Experience with RF lab test equipment..., Hands on experience in at least one type of these test set..., Experience troubleshooting and resolving HW/SW integration problems, Experience with using or developing software to control hardware (such as MATE or AMAX), Experience with test scripting, data analysis, and/or signal processing, Experience mentoring other design and/or RF test engineers. - Skills: maybe we can combine some of the preferred qualifications as skills. But we can also have a Skills section for things like MATLAB, python, Atlassian Tool Suite, Git, etc. The posting mentions "Comfortable creating test support applications and tools using MATLAB, python, etc." and "Experience with Atlassian Tool Suite, Git". So we can put those under Skills. - Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: "In addition, Northrop Grumman provides a variety of benefits including health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, savings plan, Company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO) for vacation and/or personal business." Also earlier: "Depending on the position, employees may be eligible for overtime, shift differential, and a discretionary bonus in addition to base pay. Annual bonuses are designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results. Employees in Vice President or Director positions may be eligible for Long Term Incentives." That's benefits/compensation. - Pay: "Primary Level Salary Range: $135,800.00 - $203,600.00" plus note about factors. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: "This role is for the 1st shift. The 1st shift schedule start hours are as follows: 5AM to 9 AM Monday through Friday (or, USA Flexible Schedule.)" Also maybe mention travel 10% of time. Travel is not schedule but could be included in About the role or a separate section? The instruction says include Schedule only if posting actually states them. It does state schedule. Travel is not schedule but could be included in About the role or maybe a separate "Travel" but not required. We'll include schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

for each section, and

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

  for prose. We must not include empty sections. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like test set names, etc. Let's craft. First, maybe a short metadata paragraph for relocation assistance, clearance required, travel. But we can drop minor metadata? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Relocation assistance, clearance required, travel are maybe minor but also substantive? Clearance required is important. But we already have clearance in Requirements. Travel 10% of time maybe we can include in About the role or a short p. We'll include a short p at top: "

  Relocation assistance may be available. Clearance required for start: Yes (Secret). Travel: Yes, approximately 10% of the time.

  " That seems okay. Now sections. About the role: We'll combine the introductory paragraph and the description of the team and areas. Let's write:
