for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent.
Let's extract:
Responsibilities: The description paragraphs: "Develops cost-effective test solutions that satisfy performance, quality, and validation requirements. Engineers and builds custom testing equipment, fixtures, automation systems, instrumentation connections, and related support hardware. Leads technical efforts involving the design, acquisition, installation, validation, calibration, and maintenance of equipment and systems used for data collection and product testing. Defines testing parameters, procedures, and execution plans, including sequencing and operational phases. Oversees all stages of testing activities, ensuring proper functionality, performance, and compliance with requirements. Creates and utilizes software applications and integrated hardware platforms to evaluate electrical products, assemblies, and systems. Designs and constructs prototype hardware and test fixtures to support product development, manufacturing, and field evaluations. Reviews, interprets, and communicates test results through detailed technical documentation and engineering reports. Partners with engineering, manufacturing, scientific, and technical teams to troubleshoot product issues, investigate anomalies, and resolve data-related concerns. Verifies that testing applications and automated systems operate according to documented specifications and acceptance criteria. Authors Statements of Work (SOWs), engineering specifications, requirements documents, and validation plans. Evaluates product designs from a testability perspective and recommends improvements that enhance coverage, reliability, manufacturability, and overall cost efficiency. Produces engineering documentation including CAD drawings, electrical diagrams, and printed circuit board layouts when needed for test-system implementation. Works closely with cross-functional stakeholders to identify design enhancements that improve product quality and production readiness. Provides technical guidance and testing support to engineering teams, technicians, manufacturing personnel, and other internal partners. Performs verification and validation activities while documenting outcomes in accordance with customer expectations and quality standards. Prepares testing proposals, project estimates, quotations, development schedules, and production-cycle projections. Maintains compliance with ISO quality standards and adheres to established documentation, process, and quality-management procedures."
That's a long list; we can break into bullet list.
Requirements: maybe "2+ years of experience supporting product test, validation, test development, hardware verification, manufacturing test, or related engineering functions." Also "Hands-on experience developing and executing test solutions for electronic assemblies, circuit boards, PCBs, electromechanical equipment, or similar products." Also "Proficiency with electronic test equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, programmable power supplies, and other common lab instrumentation." Also "Knowledge of product validation and reliability methodologies, such as Design of Experiments (DOE), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), statistical analysis, and root-cause investigation techniques." Also "Familiarity with manufacturing processes including surface mount technology (SMT), PCB assembly, machining, metal fabrication, injection molding, stamping, and related production methods is preferred." Also "Experience working within regulated or quality-driven environments and an understanding of industry standards and compliance requirements." Also "Exposure to ISO-based quality systems, FDA regulations, and Quality System Regulations (QSR) is considered beneficial." Also "Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to identify issues, evaluate data, and implement effective corrective actions." Also "Effective communication and collaboration abilities, with experience working across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams."
Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a closely related technical field; equivalent education combined with relevant industry experience may also be considered."
Skills: list: "test engineering, doe, fmea, pcb, pcbas, sheet metal, iso, manufacturing, pcb testing, trouble shoot, multimeter, oscilloscope, data analysis, electronics, test development, electrical testing". Also "Additional Skills & Qualifications" maybe same as qualifications.
Benefits: list: Medical, dental & vision; Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital; 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available; Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents); Short and long-term disability; Health Spending Account (HSA); Transportation benefits; Employee Assistance Program; Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave). Also maybe "Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment." We'll keep as bullet list.
Pay: "$35.00 - $50.00/hr." Also note about compensation factors; we can include as prose.
Schedule: Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Mankato, MN." Also maybe schedule not given; but we can treat as Schedule section with location? The instruction: Use Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It states Workplace Type fully onsite. That's schedule/location. We'll include Schedule section with that sentence.
We should not include "About Actalent" etc. Also remove EEO etc.
Now produce HTML:
About the role
maybe we need a short prose summarizing role? The description already is responsibilities; but we could put a brief overview in About the role: maybe first sentence "Develops cost-effective test solutions that satisfy performance, quality, and validation requirements." But we must not repeat content? We can keep responsibilities separate. About the role could be a brief overview: maybe combine first two sentences? But we must preserve all substantive info; we can put the description in Responsibilities and not duplicate. About the role could be a short paragraph summarizing the purpose: maybe "The role involves developing cost-effective test solutions, building custom testing equipment, leading technical efforts, defining testing parameters, overseeing testing activities, creating software/hardware platforms, designing prototypes, interpreting results, collaborating with teams, authoring documentation, evaluating designs, producing engineering docs, providing guidance, performing verification/validation, preparing proposals, maintaining ISO compliance." That's basically same as responsibilities; but we can keep responsibilities as bullet list and About the role as a brief intro. However we must not invent; we can take the first sentence as About the role: "Develops cost-effective test solutions that satisfy performance, quality, and validation requirements." That's substantive and not repeated elsewhere? It appears also in responsibilities but we could still include; but risk duplication. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but maybe okay. However better to avoid duplication; we can put About the role as a short paragraph that is not elsewhere: maybe "This position focuses on designing, building, and validating test solutions for electronic products, working cross-functionally to ensure quality and compliance." That's somewhat summarizing but might be considered summarizing away detail. Safer to omit About the role if no distinct content. But the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we don't have distinct About the role content, we could skip it. However typical job postings have About the role; but we can decide to include it with the first sentence as it's specific. It's not filler. It's okay even if appears elsewhere? Might be okay.
Let's include About the role with that first sentence.
Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
Requirements: bullet list of experience and hands-on etc.
Qualifications: bullet list of education.
Skills: bullet list of skills.
Benefits: bullet list.
Pay: paragraph with pay range and note about factors.
Schedule: paragraph with workplace type.
Let's craft.
Need to ensure proper HTML tags.
