We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Potential sections:
- About the role (maybe combine Program Overview and About The Role? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have headings exactly those strings? It says e.g., but we can use those headings. Likely we should include those headings if content exists.
We have content for About the role (Program Overview + About The Role). Could be placed under About the role.
Responsibilities: The role involves rapid prototyping..., also provides cloud software research, development, and engineering services... That's responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications? Or Requirements vs Qualifications? The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide what goes where. Usually Requirements are mandatory qualifications; Qualifications could be desired? But we have Basic Qualifications (mandatory) and Desired Qualifications (desired). Could map Basic Qualifications to Requirements, Desired Qualifications to Qualifications. Or we could combine. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have both sets.
Skills: Key Technologies and Skills.
Benefits: Benefits Statement.
Pay: Target Salary Range.
Schedule: Not mentioned; no schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section.
We must not include headings with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule.
