Systems Engineer - JobID-0196
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "If you see yourself reflected..." etc? That's maybe call to action; but it's not boilerplate? It's encouraging to apply; maybe considered application instruction? Probably remove. Also remove "Job Benefits Why Work At..." we need to keep benefits list.
We need to preserve all substantive information: description about role, responsibilities list, skills/knowledge/expertise (required and standout), benefits list, pay range, schedule (9/80 optional schedule). Also location and clearance maybe part of About the role? Could be separate section? The instruction says use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine some.
We need to decide sections: About the role (description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine Skills, Knowledge & Expertise). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe just a paragraph with range). Schedule (maybe a paragraph). Also maybe include Clearance & Location Requirements as part of About the role or a separate section? Could be part of About the role but we have no heading for Clearance; we could embed in About the role paragraph.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay range is given, so we can include Pay section.
Schedule: we have "9/80 optional schedule (2nd and 4th Friday off every month)". That's specific, so include Schedule section.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
About the role: paragraphs:
"Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT), a leading defense technology company, is seeking a Systems Engineer to be part of our Warfare Systems team and based out of our Arlington, VA or Mount Laurel, NJ location.

Then "Clearance & Location Requirements: All applicants must be able to obtain/maintain an active Secret U.S. Security Clearance. This is an on-site position. Requiring at least 3 days in office, based out of our Arlington, VA and Mount Laurel, NJ locations."
We could combine that into About the role paragraph or separate? Probably keep in About the role.

Benefits list: from "Why Work At Innovative Defense Technologies (IDT)":
- Generous benefits package
- Competitive PTO
- Paid holidays
- 401(k) with immediate vesting and matching
- 9/80 optional schedule (2nd and 4th Friday off every month) – but schedule we might separate.
- Tuition Assistance Reimbursement Program

We should separate schedule maybe.
Pay Range: "$74,000 - $184,000 / year" plus note about NJ Senate Bill 2310 etc. We should include the range and maybe note that it's dependent on experience. But we must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". The note includes that phrase; we might need to avoid that? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we should not include a Pay section that just says "commensurate with experience". However we have actual range; we can include Pay section with the range and maybe a brief note that it's per year and subject to experience. The note about NJ Senate Bill 2310 is substantive? It's legal requirement; we could keep short note but not filler. It says "Pursuant to New Jersey Senate Bill 2310 IDT is required to disclose the “pay scale” or “pay range” associated with a job posting. Notably, however, this amount may not be reflective of actual compensation that may be earned as pay is dependent on a candidate’s experience, skills, and education. The posted range does not include bonuses, commissions, tips, or other benefits." That's substantive; we can keep as paragraph.
Schedule: we have "9/80 optional schedule (2nd and 4th Friday off every month)" as benefit; but we can also make a Schedule section.
We must not repeat job title.
