Technician
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Location: Columbia, MD
- Salary: $63,000 - $66,000 per year (but later in Compensation & Benefits they say starting salary range $61,000 to $63,000 annually. There's a discrepancy. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can include both? The top says Salary: $63,000 - $66,000 per year. Then later Compensation & Benefits says starting salary range $61,000 to $63,000 annually. We should keep both as they are substantive. Could combine? Probably keep both statements.
- About the company: "Who are we?" paragraph.
- What can Shimadzu offer YOU? list of benefits.
- Position Summary: description.
- Job Functions Include, But Are Not Limited To: list.
- Education And Qualifications: list.
- Compensation & Benefits: details.
We need to map to headings: About the role? Could use "About the role" for Position Summary? Or "About the company"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be Position Summary.
- Responsibilities: Job Functions.
- Requirements: Education And Qualifications.
- Benefits: What can Shimadzu offer YOU? plus Compensation & Benefits details (including salary, retirement, health, PTO, etc.)
- Pay: maybe we can include salary info under Pay heading.
But we should avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Benefits and Pay into one Benefits section? But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role (Position Summary), Responsibilities (Job Functions), Requirements (Education And Qualifications), Benefits & Pay (combining compensation and benefits). That seems reasonable.
We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state compensation and benefits, so we can have a Benefits section that includes pay details.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate: EEO statement, unsolicited assistance, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
First, location and salary: "Location: Columbia, MD Salary: $63,000 - $66,000 per year". We'll put that in a short
maybe before sections.
Then "Who are we?" paragraph: "Established in 1975, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments is one of the largest suppliers of analytical instrumentation, physical testing, and environmental monitoring systems in the world. Ground-breaking scientific research, manufacturing ideas and results continue to propel Shimazu’s outstanding reputation and “Excellence in Science.” People dedicated to our mission have the largest impact on Shimadzu’s continued growth and success. Would YOU like to join a diverse team of professionals working together with researchers, scientists and manufacturers to help better lives worldwide?" We'll keep that as prose under maybe "About the company"? But we have About the role heading for Position Summary. Could we put this under About the role? Might be okay. But the instruction says About the role heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can use About the role for the Position Summary, and maybe we can incorporate the "Who are we?" as part of that? However, the "Who are we?" is about company, not role. But we could still put it under About the role as introductory. Or we could create a separate section like "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Better to stick to allowed headings; we can put company description under About the role as it's still relevant.
Next, "What can Shimadzu offer YOU?" list: bullet points: Our Culture – A work environment that values diversity, inclusion & belonging; Competitive Compensation – Day 1 Benefits & Competitive Salary; Retirement Benefits – Matching 401K & Profit-Sharing Program; Professional Growth – Clear pathways for Career, Leadership and Personal Development; Health Benefits – Flexible Spending/Health Savings Accounts; Work-Life Balance – Generous & Front-Loaded Paid Time Off Plan; Education – Tuition Assistance Program for both graduate and undergraduate levels; Insurance Perks – Pet Insurance, optional Identity theft, legal pre-paid and critical care buy-up insurance benefits, generous company paid life insurance & short-term disability programs; Work Flexibility – Business casual Dress Attire & casual (jeans) Friday!; Employee Engagement – Employee Resource Groups to network, build a sense of community and enhance one’s career and personal development.
We'll turn each into
- .
Then Position Summary: "Shimadzu is seeking a Technician to support the accurate configuration, testing, and quality control of gas chromatographs prior to customer delivery. This hands-on, bench-based role requires strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and the ability to meet custom configuration specs with minimal oversight." We'll put as prose under About the role.
Job Functions: list: "Test and configure GC instruments to precise customer specifications", "Document repairs, parts usage, and defect resolution accurately", "Provide internal training and technical insights to team members as needed", "Travel occasionally for field support and system installations". We'll put under Responsibilities.
Education And Qualifications: list: "High School Diploma with technical training in electronics; Associate degree preferred", "Minimum 2 years of experience in a hands-on technical role (GC or similar systems ideal)", "Proficient in troubleshooting electronic and mechanical systems", "Familiar with quality assurance and test documentation standards", "Strong interpersonal communication and collaboration skills". We'll put under Requirements.
Compensation & Benefits: details: "This exempt, full-time position offers a starting salary range of $61,000 to $63,000 annually, paid semi-monthly. Eligible benefits include a 401K matching program and discretionary yearly contributions, with detailed information provided at the final interview stage. Additional variable compensation may include a discretionary year-end bonus based on overall company performance. In your first year, you will receive 10 paid vacation days, 8 paid personal days, 8 scheduled holidays, and 3 floating holidays. After one year, you’ll have access to a generous short-term disability program, with premiums fully covered by the company. Employees are insured at 100% of their salary for the first 6 weeks and 66 2/3% for weeks 7 to 12. For more details on benefits, please visit www.ssi.shimadzu.com/jobs." We'll put under Benefits & Pay (or Benefits). We'll include salary range here as well, but we already have salary range at top; we can keep both.
We must not include application instructions, EEO statement, unsolicited assistance, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.

About the role
[Who are we?] + [Position Summary] maybe combine? Could separate into two paragraphs: first company description, then position summary. Both are prose.
