We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID as heading. Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID as heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to parse the job description.
Key content:
- Job#: 3053559 (metadata, can be dropped or short p)
- Apex Systems description (maybe about the role? Could be "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have:
Position: Systems Engineer Test Technician
Location: Acton, MA
Project Duration: 6 months
Rate: Negotiable Based on Experience
Position is onsite 5 days a week (8am - 4:30pm)
Position Overview: description.
Responsibilities: list (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll need to extract each responsibility as list items.
Education and Experience: Minimum Requirements: list.
Preferred Skills and Competencies: list.
Physical Requirements: list.
Benefits: Everforth Apex Benefits Overview: description of benefits.
Pay: Rate: Negotiable Based on Experience (so we have pay info). Should we create a Pay section? Yes, if posting actually states them. It says Rate: Negotiable Based on Experience. That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that.
Schedule: Position is onsite 5 days a week (8am - 4:30pm). Also mention occasional weekends. So we have schedule info.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Rate is negotiable based on experience - that's specific enough? It's not a number but it's stated. We'll include.
We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove EEO boilerplate, legal, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
Job#: 3053559
maybe as minor metadata.
Then About the role
maybe include position overview and location/duration? Could combine.
But we need to decide what goes where.
About the role: could include position overview, location, duration, onsite schedule? However schedule is separate.
Better: About the role: Position overview and maybe location/duration.
Responsibilities: list.
Requirements: maybe Education and Experience minimum requirements.
Qualifications: maybe Preferred Skills and Competencies? Or we could split: Requirements = minimum, Qualifications = preferred, Skills = technical skills? But we have both.
Given instruction: Use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll create sections:
- About the role (position overview, location, duration, onsite schedule? maybe schedule separate)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (minimum education/experience)
- Qualifications (preferred skills/competencies)
- Skills (maybe technical skills like scripting, CAD, etc.) but we already have preferred skills includes those. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (minimum), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe technical like scripting, CAD, etc.) but they overlap. Could treat Qualifications as preferred skills/competencies, and Skills as technical skills like scripting, CAD, etc. However the preferred skills list includes many technical items. Might be redundant.
Better to have:
- About the role (position overview, location, duration)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Requirements (minimum education/experience)
- Qualifications (preferred skills/competencies)
- Benefits (benefits overview)
- Pay (rate negotiable based on experience)
- Schedule (onsite 5 days a week 8am-4:30pm, occasional weekends)
We can omit Skills section if content overlaps with Qualifications.
Check if any content for Skills separate: The posting mentions "Knowledge of scripting and/or programming languages like Python is a plus. Knowledge of Android or iOS technology is a plus. Knowledge of SCM tools (Git, Bitbucket) and CI tools (Jenkins, Bamboo) is a plus. Experience With CAD Software (SolidWorks Preferred) Is a plus. Experience with rapid prototyping tools including 3D printing is a plus. Knowledge of Measurement System Analysis (MSA), including Gage R&R studies. Previous experience working in the Medical Device industry (FDA/ISO regulated) is a plus. Good written and verbal communication skills". These are indeed preferred skills/competencies. So we can put them under Qualifications.
Thus we may not need separate Skills.
Now we need to extract list items.
Responsibilities list: Let's pull each sentence that starts with a verb.
From Responsibilities section:
- Coordinate with systems, development, and test engineers to understand schedules and equipment needs to support project testing activities.
- Create, build, and set up test fixtures and Building and setting up lab equipment for testing. (This sentence seems duplicated; we need to clean: "Create, build, and set up test fixtures and Building and setting up lab equipment for testing." Probably meant: Create, build, and set up test fixtures; Building and setting up lab equipment for testing. We'll split into two items: "Create, build, and set up test fixtures" and "Build and set up lab equipment for testing." But we should preserve meaning, not invent. Could combine as "Create, build, and set up test fixtures and lab equipment for testing." We'll keep as one item: "Create, build, and set up test fixtures and lab equipment for testing."
- Ensure proper equipment is ready on time for test execution across projects.
- Leverage existing tools and automation to execute automated tests and report results across projects and test cycles.
- Support basic troubleshooting and collecting logs and data for issues observed during testing.
- Execute manual and automated tests, record results, and document issues using standard tools and processes during project development cycles.
- Execute dry runs of new and updated manual and automated Test Cases.
- Support Test Method Validation (TMV), and Measurement System Analysis activities, including Gage R&R studies, documenting and analyzing data.
- Coordinate with Systems, development, and test engineers when troubleshooting issues and verifying fixes.
- Write reports and log issues for executed verification tests.
- Participate in the planning and execution of technical project work.
- Participate and Support 5S, Ensure lab safety and housekeeping practices.
- Performs technician tasks deploying standard and advanced techniques.
- Maintain laboratory equipment by scheduling regular maintenance, interfacing with facilities, service technicians, and responding to equipment issues.
- Performs Other Duties As Required.
We need to ensure each is a list item.
Education and Experience (Minimum Requirements):

- Experience with rapid prototyping tools including 3D printing is a plus.
- Knowledge of Measurement System Analysis (MSA), including Gage R&R studies.
- Previous experience working in the Medical Device industry (FDA/ISO regulated) is a plus.
- Good written and verbal communication skills
Physical Requirements (if applicable): Could be included under Requirements? But we have no specific heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements as additional bullet points. However instruction says use headings for those categories only. Physical Requirements not listed as a heading option, but we could include under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? Better to add under Requirements as extra bullet points.
Physical Requirements:
- Must be able to lift up to 20lbs regularly
- Must be able to lift up to 50lbs infrequently
- Must be able to reach overhead
- Sitting or standing for periods of time
- Occasionally be able to work on weekends as needed to support projects
But note weekend work also appears in schedule; we can mention schedule separately.
Now Benefits: Everforth Apex Benefits Overview paragraph. We need to extract substantive info: list of benefits: medical, dental, vision, life, disability, other insurance plans; ESPP; 401K with company match after 12 months; HSA on HDHP plan; SupportLinc Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with up to 8 free counseling sessions; corporate discount savings program and other discounts; on-demand training program; access to certification prep and library of technical and leadership courses/books/seminars after 6+ months tenure; certification discounts and other perks to associations that include CompTIA and IIBA; dedicated customer service team for Consultants; certified Career Coach; Welcome Packet.
We should put as list items.
Pay: Rate: Negotiable Based on Experience.
Schedule: Position is onsite 5 days a week (8am - 4:30pm). Occasionally be able to work on weekends as needed to support projects.
Now About the role: Position Overview paragraph plus location, duration maybe.
Position Overview: "The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting and managing materials, tools, and performing various engineering tasks across R&D, supporting existing products and new product initiatives. The general scope includes working with a highly motivated team of dedicated test technicians and experienced engineers in managing R&D materials and assets for ad-hoc or V&V testing purposes (manual and automated), setting up test environments, executing testing, reporting test results, building device prototypes, and maintaining laboratory equipment. The primary objective of this position will be ensuring smooth operation and preparation of mission-critical materials supply and testing to promote robust medical device design, development, and evaluations."
We can include that as prose under About the role.
Also include Location: Acton, MA; Project Duration: 6 months; Onsite schedule maybe separate.
We'll put location and duration in About the role as a short paragraph.
Now we must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, application instructions (send resume to email, click here, etc.). Also remove the repeated Everforth Apex description about being world-class IT services company etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove.
Also remove the repeated EEO paragraphs.
Now produce HTML.
We'll start with a for Job# maybe.
