Technology Analyst 2 (Human Centered Design)
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting: Description Duties (some repeated). There's a description paragraph about role. Then "Specific Duties Shall Include But Are Not Limited To" list of duties. Then "Qualifications" with Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Then "Please Note" etc (some notes about residency, etc). Then "Benefits of Working for NYS" with details. No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections.
We need to include About the role? Could be the initial description paragraph. Use About the role
then
with that prose. Responsibilities: list of duties from Specific Duties. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Or we could have Qualifications section with subparts? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to use. Likely we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Possibly Skills could be extracted from Preferred Qualifications (technical proficiency etc). But we could combine. We must not create sections with filler. So we need actual content. Let's extract: About the role: first paragraph: "Under the direction of the Information Technology Architect 2, SG-27, the Technology Analyst 2 (Human-Centered Design), SG-25, will be responsible for designing and overseeing the implementation of business systems and tools, aiming to establish a safe and ergonomically comfortable work setting. The position will collaborate with business managers and information technology (IT) professionals to understand business requirements and translate them into technical specifications, creating products and technologies that meet user needs for comfort, accessibility, and function. This position will directly supervise a team of Technology Analyst 1’s (Human-Centered Design), SG-23." That's good. Responsibilities: list items from Specific Duties: - Work planning and oversight, technical problem solving and communication / collaboration with other teams within business functions. - Support less-experienced team members in interface design, development, and implementation. - Provide leadership for assigned organizational responsibilities, programs, and personnel, including team collaboration, work processes, infrastructure, and technical oversight. - Assess departmental needs to determine optimum utilization for interfaces. - Translate user research data into user flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that lead to intuitive user experiences for system operators. - Oversee and monitor ongoing data exchange and interface operations. - Coordinate, test, and perform system and software upgrades to the interface engine(s). - Assist with producing thought leadership resources such as whitepapers and presentations. - Prepare, coordinate, and conduct both predictive and empirical workload analysis as well as usability assessments. - Use one or more industry standard design and prototyping tool to create wireframes, visual designs, and interactive prototypes. - Maintain skills current with industry trends and keep abreast of new developments in the field to best support and advise customers. - Act as a team leader as needed and assist less experienced interface engineering staff. - Provide support and interact with data exchange partners (internally and externally). - Ensure requirements allocation and interface definition studies translate to customer requirements for hardware and software Human-Systems Integration (HIS) specification and could require functional analysis, timeline analysis, and detail trade studies. - Translate business and user requirements and goals into design solutions, as well as present project execution plans and on-time deliverable targets. - Supervisory duties as assigned. We need to put each as

Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
Minimum Qualifications text: "Six (6) years of information technology experience, two (2) years of which must be within the discipline of human centered design." Then substitution details. We need to preserve all substantive info. Could present as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The qualifications are not a list but could be considered requirements. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should put qualifications as list items? Might be okay to break into bullet points.
We can list:
- Six (6) years of information technology experience, two (2) years of which must be within the discipline of human centered design.
- Associate’s degree with 15 semester credit hours in computer science or a related field substitutes for one year of general information technology experience.
- Candidates in a bachelor’s degree program with at least 15 semester credit hours in computer science or a related field can substitute for one year of general information technology experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in any field including or supplemented by fifteen (15) semester credit hours in computer science or a related field substitutes for three (3) years of general information technology experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in any field substitutes for two (2) years of general information technology experience.
- Master’s degree or higher in computer science or related field substitutes for one year of general information technology experience.
Preferred Qualifications: list items.
- Preference for candidates holding relevant Human-Centered Design certification from recognized institutions or software providers.
- Demonstrated experience with web page design, graphical user interface, and user centered design.
- Technical proficiency in Human-Centered Design tools.
- Fluency in a variety of programs, software, and systems such as CSS, HMI, JavaScript, and HTML.
- Fluent in statistics, machine learning, and scripting.
- Strong analytical skills to understand and translate business processes into technical requirements.
- Problem-solving abilities to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, or networking issues.
- Excellent communication skills to liaise effectively with both technical and non-technical staff, and to explain complex IT concepts in simple terms.
- Strong leadership and project management skills.
We could also have a Skills section extracting technical skills: but we already have them in Preferred Qualifications. Could create Skills heading with those technical skills. But we must not create sections with filler. If we create Skills, we need actual content. We could list technical skills: CSS, HMI, JavaScript, HTML, etc. But we already have them in Preferred Qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to keep Qualifications and maybe Skills not needed.
Benefits: we have details.

We should not include EEO etc.
We also have some notes: "Please Note Appointment to this position and continued employment with the agency is contingent upon obtaining and/or maintaining New York State residency within six months of hiring. Appointment to this position is not final until all agency approvals have been granted. Additional Comments ITS will not offer permanent employment to any candidate unless the candidate provides documentation that that they are authorized to accept work in the United States on a permanent basis. It is the policy of ITS not to hire F1 or H1 visa holders for permanent employment or to sponsor non-immigrant aliens for temporary work authorization visas or for permanent residence. Some positions may require fingerprinting. Some positions may require up to 25% travel and/or lifting up to 50 lbs."
These are not benefits, but could be considered "Additional Information". However we have no heading for that. Could we include a section like "Additional Information"? Not in the allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings when appropriate. Additional notes may not fit. Could we incorporate them into Qualifications or Benefits? Probably not. Might be safer to omit them as they are not core duties/requirements/benefits. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep that info. Where to put? Could create a section "Additional Information" but not in list. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but suggests those are typical. Safer to include a heading like "Additional Information" maybe okay. But risk of being considered not following instruction. Perhaps we can embed those notes into a
under Qualifications or Benefits? They are not qualifications or benefits. Could be under "Requirements"? Not really. Could be under "About the role"? Not. Maybe we can create a section "Requirements" for those notes (residency, work authorization, etc). That seems plausible: Requirements could include eligibility requirements like residency, work authorization, etc. So we can put those notes under Requirements heading. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. We'll not include Skills or Pay or Schedule. Now format. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:

maybe we shouldn't use h4? Not prohibited but we could just use- directly. But we need to keep structure. Could use
for subheadings? The instruction only mentions using
for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we could avoid extra headings and just use
- with items, maybe preceded by a
