We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about group: "The Electronics for Contested Space Group develops advanced electronic systems..." This is about the group, could be "About the role" or maybe "About the group". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content. We have: - Job Description: "Group 94, Electronics for Contested Space, is seeking an aerospace/astronautical or systems analysis engineer to lead the concept development, mission analysis, and prototyping of the next generation of resilient space systems. This role presents the opportunity to be involved in projects at all stages, from pre-concept ideas through mature and mission-critical systems. Activities may include systems analysis, mission and trade studies, systems engineering, prototyping, coordination of a high-performance team, and collaboration with contract and Government partners. The successful candidate will contribute to multi-disciplinary teams executing advanced research and independently solve complex technical challenges. Occasional travel to support field exercises, presentations to sponsors and the community, and other events may be required." That's responsibilities. - Requirements: list of degrees, experience, areas, abilities. We need to separate Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. The posting includes: Requirements: - PhD in Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a relevant technical field - In lieu of the above, a Master’s degree or equivalent and at least 5 years of relevant experience will be considered - Significant professional or academic experience in at least two of the following areas: - Systems engineering: integrated modeling, concept development, risk assessment and analysis, interface management, definition and assessment of verification and validation - Space systems: design and/or fielding of spacecraft and spacecraft subsystems, environment prediction and effects analysis, performance estimation, operations and operations support - Space Mission analysis: orbital mechanics, mission design and planning, space vehicle dynamics, optimization, resiliency analysis - Modeling and simulation: developing models of systems, environments, or effects; performance prediction and analysis; engineering and scientific simulation (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink/Aerospace Toolbox, COMSOL Multiphysics, Ansys/AGI STK) - Remote sensing: passive/active RF, laser, or optical systems for transmitting, receiving, and/or processing; detection and tracking; analysis, simulation, and high-level design - Hardware testing: design, procedure development, planning, execution, and reporting of experimental data taken in an operational laboratory or field environment, troubleshooting of prototype systems - Demonstrable ability to: - Develop respectful, productive working relationships - Communicate clearly, precisely, and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences - Solve broad and/or complex technical or engineering problems - Work responsibly and safely in laboratory and operational field environments - Contribute to developing and flying spaceflight or other aerospace systems hardware as part of a team - Analytical and/or scientific programming proficiency (e.g. MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or similar) - Familiarity with and ability to learn typical engineering software tools as may be required for analysis tasks - Active Top Secret security clearance desired Then "Recent Graduate Hiring Range: $145,200-$170,000 Experienced Hiring Range: $145,200-$220,000" => Pay. Then disclaimer about salary range. Then benefits paragraph: "At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, our exceptional career opportunities include many outstanding benefits to help you stay healthy, feel supported, and enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance. Benefits offered to employees include: Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans MIT-funded pension Matching 401K Paid leave (including vacation, sick, parental, military, etc.) Tuition reimbursement and continuing education programs Mentorship programs A range of work-life balance options... and much more! Please visit our Benefits page for more information. As an employee of MIT, you can also take advantage of other voluntary benefits, discounts and perks." Then "Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret level DoD security clearance." This is a requirement maybe. Then EEO boilerplate to remove. Requisition ID: 43263 - drop. We need to output sections: About the role? Could include the introductory paragraph about group and job description? The "About the role" could be the initial description of the group and role. But we already have responsibilities separate. Perhaps "About the role" includes the group description and the role overview (first paragraph). Responsibilities includes activities. Qualifications maybe includes degree requirements? Skills includes abilities? But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's decide: - About the role: short paragraph describing the group and the role (the first paragraph after group intro? Actually the group intro is about the group; the role description is "Job Description Group 94... is seeking an aerospace/astronautical or systems analysis engineer to lead..." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: the activities list (systems analysis, mission and trade studies, etc.) plus occasional travel. - Requirements: education (PhD or Master's+5 years) and experience in at least two areas. - Qualifications: maybe the Top Secret clearance desired? Or could be combined with Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication. Could treat Requirements as education+experience, Qualifications as security clearance and maybe other specific qualifications like ability to develop relationships etc. But those are more like Skills. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education+experience), Skills (abilities), Benefits, Pay. Qualifications maybe not needed if we cover everything. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Check if any content for "Qualifications" separate: The posting mentions "Active Top Secret security clearance desired" could be a qualification. Could put under Requirements or Skills. I'd put under Requirements as a qualification. But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections with filler. All sections have substantive content. Now format:

About the role

... paragraph ...

Responsibilities

  • ... each activity ...

Requirements

  • ... each bullet ...

Skills

  • ... each demonstrable ability ...

Benefits

... benefits paragraph ...

Pay

... hiring ranges ...

We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any detail. Let's extract exact text. About the role: Could combine group intro and role description? The group intro is about the group's mission; maybe that belongs to About the role as context. The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So About the role likely includes description of the role and maybe group. We'll include both paragraphs: first paragraph about group, second about role. Paragraph 1: "The Electronics for Contested Space Group develops advanced electronic systems and technology for the protection of our Nation’s most important space capabilities. We design and develop state-of-the-art satellites and satellite payloads, novel concepts for resilient space architectures, and the Nation’s most sensitive radars, optics, and passive RF systems. The group also provides engineering rigor and experience to some of the most critical National Security programs through Laboratory-wide collaboration and acts in an advisory capacity to the U.S. Government. Recently we have prototyped electronic systems and effects, conducted hardware-in-the-loop testing of tactically relevant payloads with surrogate threat systems, developed RF subsystems for satellites, and analyzed spacecraft mission dynamics, environments, and resiliency." Paragraph 2 (role): "Job Description Group 94, Electronics for Contested Space, is seeking an aerospace/astronautical or systems analysis engineer to lead the concept development, mission analysis, and prototyping of the next generation of resilient space systems. This role presents the opportunity to be involved in projects at all stages, from pre-concept ideas through mature and mission-critical systems. Activities may include systems analysis, mission and trade studies, systems engineering, prototyping, coordination of a high-performance team, and collaboration with contract and Government partners. The successful candidate will contribute to multi-disciplinary teams executing advanced research and independently solve complex technical challenges. Occasional travel to support field exercises, presentations to sponsors and the community, and other events may be required." But note that the second paragraph includes activities that we might move to Responsibilities. To avoid duplication, we should split: About the role could be just the group description and maybe the role overview without listing activities. Responsibilities will list the activities. Thus About the role: combine group description and role overview (excluding activities). Let's craft: "The Electronics for Contested Space Group develops advanced electronic systems and technology for the protection of our Nation’s most important space capabilities. We design and develop state-of-the-art satellites and satellite payloads, novel concepts for resilient space architectures, and the Nation’s most sensitive radars, optics, and passive RF systems. The group also provides engineering rigor and experience to some of the most critical National Security programs through Laboratory-wide collaboration and acts in an advisory capacity to the U.S. Government. Recently we have prototyped electronic systems and effects, conducted hardware-in-the-loop testing of tactically relevant payloads with surrogate threat systems, developed RF subsystems for satellites, and analyzed spacecraft mission dynamics, environments, and resiliency.

This role presents the opportunity to be involved in projects at all stages, from pre-concept ideas through mature and mission-critical systems." That seems good. Now Responsibilities: list activities: systems analysis, mission and trade studies, systems engineering, prototyping, coordination of a high-performance team, collaboration with contract and Government partners, contribute to multi-disciplinary teams executing advanced research and independently solve complex technical challenges, occasional travel to support field exercises, presentations to sponsors and the community, and other events may be required. We need to preserve all detail. Let's make each as
