Staff Structural Engineer
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate: relocation assistance, clearance required, clearance type, travel, etc? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So relocation assistance, clearance required, clearance type, travel can be folded into a short paragraph maybe at top. But we can also drop them if not needed. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the substantive info: description about Northrop Grumman, essential functions, basic qualifications, preferred qualifications, salary range, benefits description, etc. Also mention relocation assistance may be available, clearance required for start: No, clearance type: Polygraph, travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. Those are substantive? They are metadata but maybe considered minor; we could include them in a short paragraph. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO statement, the application period timeline, the equal opportunity employer line, the link to EEO, the US citizenship requirement? That is part of qualifications maybe. Actually "US citizen with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI and pass a polygraph." That's a qualification, keep. The EEO boilerplate can be removed. We need to structure: maybe sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine with qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay: salary range given. Benefits: description of benefits. Schedule: maybe travel 10% of time? Could be schedule? Not exactly schedule. Could include travel as part of schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we have Pay (salary range). Benefits (benefits description). Schedule? Not explicitly given schedule like full-time, hours. Travel 10% of time could be considered schedule? Might be considered "Schedule" but it's travel percentage. Could include under a "Travel" heading but not allowed; only allowed headings are those listed. So we could put travel info under Schedule? Might be a stretch. Better to not create Schedule section if no explicit schedule like "full-time", "shift". So we omit Schedule. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract:
About the role: description paragraph about Northrop Grumman, mission, culture, location Annapolis, MD, seeking Staff Structural Engineer.
Responsibilities (Essential Functions): bullet list:
- Perform linear and non-linear structural analyses of individual components and complex underwater assemblies using a combination of hand-calculations, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and bolted joint calculations.
- Ability to lead a small team of structural analysts to support program’s analysis needs.
- Ensure that designs meet program requirements and are consistent with program schedule and budget objectives.
- The candidate must be able to collaborate in a team environment, prioritize and adjust tasks to accomplish the project result, prioritize multiple responsibilities and/or accomplishing them simultaneously, and comprehend and analyze complex problems and develop solutions.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required.
Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- BS degree in Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical or equivalent STEM) and a minimum of 12 years of experience in structural analysis; MS degree with 10 years of experience in structural analysis; or PhD with 8 years of experience in structural analysis.
- Ability to work on-site at Annapolis, MD campus.
- Able to work in a fast-paced environment where multiple projects are being developed and deployed simultaneously.
- Proficiency in FEMAP/Nastran and/or ANSYS FEA tools for performing linear and non-linear analyses.
- Experience with Finite Element Analysis tools, bolted joint analysis, and structural hand calculations.
- Proficiency in using common engineering design, production, analysis, and office tools.
- US citizen with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI and pass a polygraph.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with underwater/naval systems such as torpedoes, towed vehicles, Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUV), Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV), Submarines, etc.
- Demonstrated skills/experience in the following multi-disciplined areas: shock, vibration, and fracture analysis.
- Demonstrated skills/experience with CFD analysis, familiarity with materials design for the undersea environment, manufacturing techniques, and integration and test.
- Proficiency in conducting Finite Element Analysis, bolted joint analysis, and structural hand calculations.
- Active TS/SSBI/SCI clearance with current polygraph.
Skills: maybe we can combine some of the qualifications as skills, but we already have Requirements and Qualifications sections. Could also have Skills section for things like proficiency in FEMAP/Nastran, ANSYS, etc. But we might avoid duplication. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both basic and preferred? But they said use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements (basic), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe technical skills). However we risk thin sections. Let's think: we have enough content for each.
Requirements (Basic Qualifications) - list as above.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) - list as above.
Skills: maybe we can list specific technical skills: FEMAP/Nastran, ANSYS, hand calculations, bolted joint analysis, CFD, etc. But that duplicates. Could instead put under Skills: "Proficiency in FEMAP/Nastran and/or ANSYS FEA tools; experience with bolted joint analysis and structural hand calculations; familiarity with CFD analysis; knowledge of materials design for undersea environment; etc." But that's similar to qualifications. Might be okay.
Benefits: paragraph: "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 mention competitive pay and comprehensive benefits earlier.
Pay: salary range: $169,000.00 - $253,600.00, plus note about overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director.
We need to include that info.
Also we have relocation assistance may be available, clearance required for start: No, clearance type: Polygraph, travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. Could fold into a short paragraph at top under maybe a heading? Not allowed headings besides those. Could just include a
after the initial description: "Relocation assistance may be available. Travel required: approximately 10% of the time." Clearance: Not required for start? Actually "CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No". So we can note that clearance not required for start but polygraph clearance type? Might be confusing. We'll just include a short paragraph: "Relocation assistance may be available. Travel required: approximately 10% of the time. Clearance not required for start; polygraph clearance type indicated." But we must preserve all substantive info; we should not invent. So we can include exactly: "Relocation assistance may be available. CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No. CLEARANCE TYPE: Polygraph. TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time." That's verbatim but we can format as a short paragraph.
Now produce HTML.
Structure:
Relocation assistance may be available. CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: No. CLEARANCE TYPE: Polygraph. TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time.
