We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Intro: At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team. We are looking to add several Staff Applications Engineer to our rapidly growing customer-facing team. In this position, you will represent Cesium as a technical expert on our products, building relationships with our customers from the marketing stage all the way through in-orbit support. A major part of CesiumAstro’s mission is to deliver space communication systems that work out of the box, and the Applications Engineering Team will play a crucial role in delivering that seamless user experience. As a CesiumAstro Applications Engineer, you can expect a varied and dynamic day-to-day workflow. Some days will be spent in the lab with CesiumAstro design engineers, learning the ins and outs of our hardware and software. Some days will be spent helping shape the Cesium product roadmap by providing feedback on customer needs, goals, and user experience; you will act as the “Voice of the Customer” to provide insight and clarity to developers. Some days will be spent at customers’ labs or on video calls, teaching customers how to use our products. Some days will be spent crafting app notes and diagrams to provide users with a space communication system that truly works out of the box. This role is heavily focused on technical customer interaction. As such, exceptional technical communication skills are required. Candidates with relevant work samples, such as public app notes or user manuals, will be highly preferred. This role may require up to 20% travel to customer facilities and trade shows. - Job Duties And Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Job Requirements And Minimum Qualifications: list bullet points. - Preferred Experience: bullet points. - Pay: $158,000 - $189,000 a year. - Benefits: Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. Only travel up to 20% maybe but not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time. It says full-time employment offers include... So schedule could be full-time. But we should only include Schedule if posting actually states it. It mentions full-time employment offers, implying full-time. That's a schedule detail. Should we include Schedule section? The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. "Full-time" is specific. So we can include Schedule with "Full-time". However we need to check if they explicitly say "Full-time employment offers". Yes they do. So we can include Schedule: Full-time. - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph(s). We'll put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: list from Job Duties And Responsibilities. - Requirements: Job Requirements And Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Experience? Actually Qualifications could be minimum qualifications; but we already have Requirements. Could combine? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred experience). Skills (maybe technical communication skills etc). Benefits (benefits). Pay (salary). Schedule (full-time). We should not invent content; we must preserve all substantive info. We need to extract specifics: About the role: The paragraph(s) describing role, mission, day-to-day, etc. Responsibilities bullet list: - Guide technical customers through the use and integration of CesiumAstro products. - Author technical application notes, user manuals, and white papers. - Transfer customer feedback to our product development teams. - Build long-term relationships with technical customers. - Rapidly understand, troubleshoot, recreate, and solve customer-reported anomalies. - Develop processes and procedures to structure product development and application. - Become a technical expert in Cesium’s products in depth to execute the above. This includes state-of-the-art RF, digital, and power electronics; embedded software; FPGAs; DSP; mechanical integration; and end-to-end wireless communication links. - Provide technical leadership and direction to the Business Development Team Requirements (minimum qualifications) bullet list: - At least 8 years of relevant experience in technical product development or application support. - Working knowledge of RF electronics and communication systems. - Experience with FPGA and embedded software for applications with software-defined radios. - Exceptional technical communication skills. - Experience building relationships with technical customers. - Experience with the methodical troubleshooting of electronics and software. - Working software proficiency in C/C++ or Python. - In-depth experience with RF electronics and communication systems, including link budgets. - Experience with a broad range of technical areas, such as high-speed digital systems (10+ Gbps), power electronics, FPGAs, DSP, embedded software, and mechanical interfaces (i.e. thermal, dynamics). Preferred Experience bullet list: - Work samples of technical communication, such as public app notes or user manuals. - Experience with high-reliability electronics, such as aerospace. - Experience with small satellites. - Experience in technical product planning, marketing, or sales. - Experience with crafting technical solutions that meet customer needs on proposals. Skills: Could be derived from requirements: exceptional technical communication skills, working software proficiency in C/C++ or Python, etc. But we might not need a separate Skills section if we already have Requirements and Qualifications. However we need to follow instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate headings allowed; we can include Skills if we have specific content. We have "exceptional technical communication skills", "working software proficiency in C/C++ or Python". Those are skills. Could list them. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can list those as bullet points under Skills. Benefits: "Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans." Pay: "$158,000 - $189,000 a year" Schedule: "Full-time" (derived from Full-time employment offers). Could also mention up to 20% travel but that's not schedule. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, unsolicited resumes, AI tools, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment with headings
