We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create sections unless content. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: Intro paragraph: "We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters. Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life. We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more! In this position..." This is about the role. Could be "About the role". Then "The Technical Expert- Static and Dynamic Sealing will ensure that the sealing function within transmission, axle, and drive unit products is delivered and function risks are mitigated using FMEA tools. This role will publish and maintain design requirements for sealing-relevant components (gaskets, radial lip seals, liquid sealant, o-rings, flanges) and be instrumental in solving sealing-based failure modes discovered in physical testing or via warranty analysis." Then "What you'll do..." repeated twice (two sections). We need to combine responsibilities. List of responsibilities: - Able to lead technical discussions and deep dives to balanced conclusions. - Understands upfront design, verification plan and methods, and industrialization process. - Authors requirements, rules, methods in a manner that institutionalizes key learnings. - Author and maintain design engineering specifications for sealing-relevant components (gaskets, radial lip seals, liquid seals, o-rings, flanges, among others). - Co-Lead technical peer reviews with component supervisors. - Coach, mentor, and train D&R engineers across all the global regions. - Own the sealing-relevant warranty spend including driving best practices across supply base. - Responsible (Owner) for the creation and maintenance of the Core Engineering Documents (FMA Documents, SDS/ Requirements and Test Procedures, etc.) - Integral to Signoff of System/Subsystem/Component with specific signoff responsibility before Chief Signoff. - Go-To for Problem Solving Launch, Recall, Quality / Field Issues, DV/PV issues. - Conduct global supplier onsite reviews at component plants and recommend best practices for manufacturing process and quality control. - Provide technical support to the Architecture, Core, and Applications teams for the development of sealing strategies. - Develop and own interfaces with interfacing component/systems on boundary diagram including joint specs, device transmittals, and development of manufacturing processes relevant to delivering sealing function to powertrain/ driveline system. - Conduct benchmarking to optimize component design for future programs. - Provide Technical leadership to broader Underbody Systems engineering teams. - Leverage CAE modelling capability to optimize quality, maximize efficiency, minimize cost, and maintain/justify design rules according to first principles. - Create and Conduct training sessions. - Leads Technical Design Reviews (TDRs) for System/Subsystem/Component. Then "You'll have..." (requirements/qualifications): - BS in Engineering. - 10 years of design & release experience with powertrain/ driveline systems & components, including specific experience on launch. - 6+ years of design & release experience with sealing-relevant components. Then "Even better, you may have..." (preferred qualifications): - Master's degree in engineering. - Extensive experience creating and managing DFMEA/PFMEA/SCCAF/Control Plans/ drawings. - Experience with CAE tools and methods. - Extensive knowledge & experience with associated supplier manufacturing and quality processes. - Proven history of evaluating choices and directing a team based on technical ideals balanced with industrialization realities. - Required leadership skills- quality focused as #1 priority, innovative, excellent communicator, strong organizational skills, highly motivated self-starter. - Selected candidates will be required to provide an evidence book for review as a condition of the interview process. - Demonstrated ability to lead and align collections of people that do not directly report to this position (lead the collection of sub system and component technical specialists that make up the TS team contributing to the power unit success). - Ability to institutionalize the key factors of power unit success and lessons learned through documentation (design rules, SDS, technical design guides, etc.) and to teach associated learning sessions. - Proven skills in communicating your technical opinion effectively at all levels of management and to cross-functional teams to drive the company in a winning direction. - You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply! Then benefits: list after "As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice..." includes: - Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage - Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more - Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more - Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases - Tuition assistance - Established and active employee resource groups - Paid time off for individual and team community service - A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day - Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time. Pay: "This position is leadership level 6 and ranges from $115,500-$218,100. Final determination of salary grade will be based on candidate's skills and experience, and base salary will be set within the applicable range according to job scope, responsibility and competitive market value." Schedule: "This position is hybrid with a requirement to be onsite four or more days per week." Also note: "Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Candidates for positions with Ford Motor Company must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire." This is maybe metadata but not required to be a heading; we could fold into a short paragraph maybe under Requirements? But it's not a requirement per se, it's eligibility. Could be included in a short paragraph under "Requirements" or separate? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include that as a short paragraph maybe after Requirements or before Benefits. But we need to decide sections. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (BS, years experience). Qualifications (preferred). Skills (leadership skills etc). Benefits (list). Pay (salary range). Schedule (hybrid onsite 4+ days). Also maybe include eligibility note as a short paragraph maybe under Requirements or separate but not a heading. We must not create sections with filler. All sections we create must have substantive content. Let's craft HTML:
