Staff Digital Engineer
for sections like 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 preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include placeholder sections like Pay if only vague "commensurate with experience". However we have salary range: "Primary Level Salary Range: $152,900.00 - $265,600.00". That's specific, so we can include Pay section with that range. Also mention that salary dependent on location etc. That's still specific enough. So include Pay. Schedule: we have "We offer flexible work arrangements, 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off". That's specific schedule info. So include Schedule. Benefits: we have list: health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, savings plan, Company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO) for vacation and/or personal business. Also mention flexible work arrangements, learning opportunities, exposure to projects, friendly team environment. Those could be benefits. So include Benefits. About the role: we have description paragraphs about Northrop Grumman, role location, etc. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities bullet points. Requirements: Basic Qualifications (maybe Requirements). Also Preferred Qualifications could be Skills or Qualifications. We need to decide sections: maybe Requirements (basic qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred) or Skills. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe we can put specific skills like MBSE, Cameo, SysML, DODAF, Agile, Atlassian, etc.) Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That seems fine. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content; but we can include Pay section with the salary range and note that actual offer commensurate with experience. That's okay. We must not include duplicated lines. Need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First part: RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: Relocation assistance may be available CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes CLEARANCE TYPE: Secret TRAVEL: Yes, 25% of the Time That's metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably include in About the role? Might be better to include a short p with that info. But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a paragraph at top with relocation assistance, clearance, travel. Then description paragraphs about Northrop Grumman, Aeronautics Systems – R&AD, etc. That's About the role. Then location: "This position is located in Redondo Beach, CA, Rancho Bernardo, CA, and/or Melbourne, FL. A hybrid work arrangement may be available; however, on-site presence will be required as business needs dictate." That could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we can include in About the role. Then responsibilities bullet list: "Key Responsibilities Assist in development of system architectures.Architecture, CONOPS, and use case development using model-based systems engineering methodologies.Automation workflow development of multi-disciplined functional processes in support of various engineering and business processes.Perform system requirements analysis.Maintain our Digital EcosystemLead our Tool-to-tool integrationSupport the program by onboarding partners into our DE environment" We need to split into list items. The text seems concatenated without spaces after periods. We'll need to parse manually. Let's extract each responsibility: - Assist in development of system architectures. - Architecture, CONOPS, and use case development using model-based systems engineering methodologies. - Automation workflow development of multi-disciplined functional processes in support of various engineering and business processes. - Perform system requirements analysis. - Maintain our Digital Ecosystem - Lead our Tool-to-tool integration - Support the program by onboarding partners into our DE environment Probably each separated by period. We'll make
- for each.
Then "We offer flexible work arrangements, 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off, phenomenal learning opportunities, exposure to a wide variety of projects and customers, and a very friendly team environment." That's benefits/schedule.
Then "We are looking for self-motivated, proactive, and goal-oriented people to help us grow our services and become even better at what we do" maybe part of About the role or Requirements? Could be a trait; maybe include in About the role.
Then Basic Qualifications block: long sentence with multiple requirements. We'll need to break into list items.
Basic Qualifications:
- Must have a Bachelor of Science degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) discipline AND 12 years of related professional/military experience OR a Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline AND 10 years of related professional/military experience, OR a STEM Ph.D. AND 8 years of related professional/military experience
- Must have an active US Government Secret (or higher) clearance (with a background investigation within the past 6 years or enrolled into Continuous Evaluation)
- Must have the ability to obtain and maintain Special Access Program (SAP) clearance, within a reasonable amount of time as determined by business needs.
- Must have familiarity with Systems Engineering
- Must have experience collaborating across engineering disciplines to architect, design, or implement complex systems.
- Must have experience in Model based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
- Requires up to 20% travel to multiple site locations as needed by the business to support its need.
We'll make list.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Current, active Top Secret clearance
- Experience in Aerospace Systems
- Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Software Engineering.
- Experience with Cameo Enterprise Architecture and the Systems Modeling Language (SysML).
- Experience developing various DODAF views, especially Operational and Functional viewpoints, using MBSE tools like Cameo.
- Experience with Agile product development
- Experience using the Atlassian Suite.
- Experience in Digital Ecosystem design and maturity.
We could put these under Skills or Qualifications. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings, we can put Basic Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications (or Skills). The instruction says headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could split Skills for specific technical skills. But we have both; maybe we put Requirements = basic qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications, and Skills maybe not needed. But we could also put Skills for specific technical skills like MBSE, Cameo, SysML, DODAF, Agile, Atlassian. However we already have those in preferred qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put Requirements = basic qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications, and omit Skills. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they said use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It's a list of possible headings, not mandatory to use all. So we can choose which to include. We'll include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic), Qualifications (preferred), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections.
Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content; but we can mention in Pay section that salary range is $152,900 - $265,600 and actual offer commensurate with experience. That's fine.
Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO statement, application period, equal opportunity, citizenship requirement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "The application period for the job is estimated to be 20 days..." etc. Also remove "Northrop Grumman is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "U.S. Citizenship is required..." etc.
Also remove "RELOCATION ASSISTANCE: Relocation assistance may be available CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes CLEARANCE TYPE: Secret TRAVEL: Yes, 25% of the Time". We'll fold into a short p.
Now produce HTML.
Structure:
Relocation assistance may be available. Clearance required for start: Yes (Secret). Travel: Yes, 25% of the time.
