We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Relocation assistance may be available. - Clearance required for start: Yes. - Clearance type: Secret. - Travel: Yes, 10% of the Time. - Description: At Northrop Grumman... (company description). Could be considered "About the role" maybe? Actually description about company. Could go under "About the role" or maybe "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. - The role: Test & Evaluation Manager 2 position. Selected candidate will be responsible for functional management of Test & Evaluation Lab Cognizant Engineers, Lab Designers, Cyber Engineers, Software Engineers and Technicians supporting RAD programs in Melbourne, FL. This is a dual role Section Manager (Functional Role) and Individual contributor (Program Role). - Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Basic Qualifications: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - Primary Level Salary Range: $126,600.00 - $189,800.00. - Benefits: mention health insurance, life and disability insurance, savings plan, company paid holidays and paid time off (PTO) for vacation and/or personal business. Also mention overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives for VP/Director (not applicable). Also mention relocation assistance may be available. - Schedule: Not explicitly given. Travel 10% of time. Could be considered schedule? Not exactly schedule. There's no explicit schedule like full-time, shift, etc. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not state schedule like "Full-time" etc. So we omit Schedule. - Pay: we have salary range. - Benefits: we have benefits list. - Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: experience with RF test equipment, generating test plans, etc. Also familiarity with AGILE/SCRUM, MBSE with CAMEO, DODAF 2.0, etc. Also experience leading engineering team, SAP/SAR environment, ability to obtain SAP access, etc. Also preferred qualifications: excellent communication skills, proven leadership skills, prior functional management experience, engineering management experience, agile project management, ability to provide coaching, active DoD Top Secret clearance with SSBI or SCI within 4 years, program access to all major NGAS programs, experience in areas like Operations Analysis, Modeling and Simulation, Systems Analysis, System Architecture, Mission Integration, Model Based Systems Engineering, familiarity with AFSIM Modeling and SIM. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe company description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Basic Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe combine technical skills?), Benefits, Pay. But we must not create thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But headings are prescribed; we can still include both if they have substantive content. However we need to avoid filler. We have Basic Qualifications (requirements) and Preferred Qualifications (preferred). Both are substantive. So we can include Requirements (basic) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills could be derived from both but maybe we can omit Skills if it's thin. However we have many skill-like items; we could put them under Skills. But then Requirements and Qualifications would be less detailed. Let's think. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must use all; we include only those with real specific content. We have: - About the role: we have description of role and company overview. Could be considered About the role. The description includes company history, values, etc. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: we have a list. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: Could be extracted from both but maybe we can combine into Requirements and Qualifications; but we could also create Skills section for technical skills like RF test equipment, test plans, AGILE/SCRUM, MBSE, DODAF, SAP, etc. However many of those are already in Requirements/Preferred. To avoid duplication, we could keep Requirements and Qualifications as is, and omit Skills. - Benefits: we have relocation assistance, health insurance, life/disability, savings plan, company paid holidays, PTO, overtime, shift differential, discretionary bonus, annual bonuses, long term incentives (though for VP/Director). Also mention that employees may be eligible for overtime etc. That's substantive. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: not given; we omit. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to format:

About the role

... prose ...

For lists:
  • ...
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the details, maybe copy them verbatim or close. Summarizing away detail would be removing specifics. So we need to keep specifics like numbers, etc. Thus we need to include all bullet points exactly as given (or close). We must not add extra info not present. Let's extract details. From posting: **Relocation assistance may be available** (under RELOCATION ASSISTANCE). Also **CLEARANCE REQUIRED FOR START: Yes**, **CLEARANCE TYPE: Secret**, **TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time**. These are metadata; we need to fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph for relocation assistance, clearance, travel. But we also have sections for Benefits etc. Where to put relocation assistance? Could be under Benefits. Clearance and travel maybe under About the role or a short p. We need to preserve all substantive information, so we must include relocation assistance, clearance required, clearance type, travel percentage. We can include them in a short

after About the role maybe. Now, About the role: The description paragraph about Northrop Grumman's history, values, etc. Also the role description: "Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems (NGAS) has an opening for a Test & Evaluation Manager 2 position. The selected candidate will be responsible for the functional management of the Test & Evaluation Lab Cognizant Engineers, Lab Designers, Cyber Engineers, Software Engineers and Technicians supporting RAD programs in Melbourne, FL. This is a dual role Section Manager (Functional Role) and Individual contributor (Program Role)." We should include that. Thus About the role section will contain that prose. Now Responsibilities: list bullet points. Let's copy them exactly: - Lead a section of Test & Evaluation engineers (10 -15 employees) - Instruct, mentor and champion agile concepts and processes - Be responsible for hiring, development, training, and retention of section talent. Hiring will include university and experienced hiring. - Provide leadership and direction to team members and manage employee performance (including engagement strategies for higher performers and corrective actions for lower performers) - Responsible for day-to-day operation of the organization including employee movement, balancing of resources among programs, and resolving critical/urgent program/technical issues. - Promote the professional development of the Systems Engineering team and foster a collaborative culture that sustains the momentum around employee engagement and inclusion, affordability, innovation, value growth, and continuous improvement. - Provide clear assignments, helps employees connect their efforts to the bigger picture, creates an inclusive work environment characterized by mutual respect and the valuing of differences, and builds a culture that motivates employees to their highest levels of performance. - Our Leaders at Northrop Grumman live our values daily and encourage our teams to do the same. We do the right thing: upholding the highest ethical standards and facilitating a safe and respectful environment that attracts, retains, and inspires a diverse and engaged team. We do what we promise: holding yourself and others accountable to meet predictable and balanced results. We commit to shared success: operating as OneNG and removing barriers for our teams. Finally, We pioneer: setting a vision that shapes the future and inspires others. Note that last paragraph repeats values; it's duplicated from earlier description. It's still substantive but maybe duplicate. We should preserve all substantive information but avoid duplicated lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. The values paragraph appears earlier in the description as well. So we should remove that duplicated block from Responsibilities to avoid duplication. However we need to check if it's exactly duplicated. The earlier description includes: "Our Leaders at Northrop Grumman live our values daily and encourage our teams to do the same. We do the right thing: upholding the highest ethical standards and facilitating a safe and respectful environment that attracts, retains, and inspires a diverse and engaged team. We do what we promise: holding yourself and others accountable to meet predictable and balanced results. We commit to shared success: operating as OneNG and removing barriers for our teams. Finally, We pioneer: setting a vision that shapes the future and inspires others." That appears both in the description and again at end of Responsibilities. So we should remove the duplicate from Responsibilities. Thus Responsibilities list will be the bullet points before that duplicate. Now Requirements (Basic Qualifications): - Bachelor’s Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline from an accredited university and 9 years of combined technical and management experience, or Master’s Degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline from an accredited university and 7 years of combined technical and management experience. - Must have experience with RF test equipment for system verification and validation. - Must have experience generating test plans, procedures, test execution, lab testing, customer testing, formal qualification and reports for DoD programs. - Must have experience performing system verifications and validations for DoD programs. - Must have experience working in cloud-based, hybrid-cloud, on-premise, and virtualized environments. - Experience leading an engineering team or project. - Familiarity with AGILE/SCRUM Master, MBSE with CAMEO, DODAF 2.0 or similar. - Must have a current DoD Secret clearance with a background investigation within the past 5 years or enrolled into Continuous Evaluation. - Previous experience working in a SAP/SAR environment. - Ability to obtain SAP access within a reasonable amount of time as determined by the company to meet its business needs. We need to preserve all. Now Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): - Excellent communication skills. - Proven leadership skills. - Prior Functional Management Experience. - Engineering Management Experience. - Agile project management (manage & prioritize workflow). - Ability and desire to provide ongoing coaching and performance feedback to direct reports - Active DoD Top Secret clearance with SSBI, or Active DoD Top Secret with SCI within 4 years of last investigation. - Program access to all major NGAS programs. - Experience in at least one of the following areas: Operations Analysis, Modeling and Simulation, Systems Analysis, System Architecture, Mission Integration, Model
