We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them. We have content: Job Description (some prose), Responsibilities (list), Essential Skills (list), Additional Skills & Qualifications (list), Work Environment (prose), Job Type & Location (maybe location info), Pay And Benefits (pay range and benefits list), Workplace Type (onsite), Application Deadline (date), About Actalent (boilerplate? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about company; maybe we keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Actalent is not exactly those but could be considered boilerplate? It's company description; maybe we keep as it's substantive? However they said "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The About Actalent paragraph is substantive about the company, not boilerplate legal. Might keep. However they also said remove duplicated lines. Not duplicated. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications? Could separate Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include based on content. We have: Job Description (prose) -> could be About the role. Responsibilities: list. Essential Skills: list of skills. Additional Skills & Qualifications: list. We could combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications into Skills section, or separate Qualifications and Skills. Since they gave both headings, we could put Qualifications for things like experience, education? Not present. We have skills. Maybe we put Skills heading and list all skills (both essential and additional). Or we could have Qualifications heading for "Experience in test engineering..." etc. But better to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include those that have content. We have About the role (Job Description). Responsibilities (list). Skills (we can list all skills). Benefits (list). Pay (range). Schedule? Not mentioned; we have Workplace Type (fully onsite) but not schedule like full-time/part-time. No schedule info, so we should NOT create Schedule section. We also have Job Type & Location (Contract position based out of Wilmington, MA). Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like Job Type & Location but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role paragraph. We have Work Environment (prose) maybe part of About the role. We have Application Deadline (date) - maybe not needed as per instruction to remove application instructions? It's not instruction but deadline; could be considered metadata; but they said do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Application deadline is minor metadata; we could fold into a short

    maybe under About the role or at end. However they said remove application instructions; deadline is not instruction but still metadata. Safer to include as a short paragraph maybe under About the role? But they said preserve ALL substantive information; deadline is substantive? Might be considered minor but we can include as a short p. We also have "Workplace Type This is a fully onsite position in Wilmington,MA." That's location info again; we can combine. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content: Job Description paragraph: "The Test Engineer designs and develops test fixtures, stimuli, and automated test software to support production across multiple manufacturing sites. This role creates comprehensive manufacturing test specifications, procedures, and training materials, and works closely with development partners and contract manufacturers to ensure reliable, high-quality testing of robotic and embedded systems. The Test Engineer analyzes product performance data, participates in root cause investigations, and collaborates across functions to resolve design, manufacturing, and field issues." Responsibilities list (each bullet): - Design and develop test fixtures, stimuli, and automated test software to support testing across multiple manufacturing locations. - Author detailed manufacturing test specifications in collaboration with development partners and contract manufacturers. - Create test procedures, training plans, and debug decision trees to guide and support test technicians. - Analyze product performance and test data to refine test criteria and continuously improve test methods and coverage. - Participate in root cause analysis for customer issues and warranty claims, and recommend corrective and preventive actions. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve systemic design and manufacturing issues. - Troubleshoot and disposition non-conforming products and support investigations into build failures and field failures. - Work hands-on with test equipment, robotics, and automated systems in a manufacturing environment. - Develop and maintain test plans and manufacturing test processes that ensure consistent product quality. - Support ongoing production by quickly diagnosing and resolving test-related issues on the manufacturing floor. Essential Skills list: - Experience in test engineering and test development in a manufacturing environment. - Hands-on hardware experience with test equipment, fixtures, and production systems. - Ability to design and prototype test fixtures using tools such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD Electrical. - Experience working with robotics and automated equipment in a production or test setting. - Knowledge of manufacturing test processes, including test procedures, test plans, and fixture development. - Proficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis. - Experience with SQL or MySQL for managing and querying test data. - Ability to collaborate with development partners and contract manufacturers on test specifications and processes. - Strong analytical skills for interpreting product performance data and refining test criteria. - Problem-solving skills for troubleshooting non-conforming products, build failures, and field issues. Additional Skills & Qualifications list: - Knowledge of embedded systems and electrical control theories. - Familiarity with motors, sensors, vision systems, and related hardware components. - Understanding of communication protocols such as CANBus and Ethernet. - Proficiency in software development with Python, C, and C#. - Experience participating in root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives. - Background working with robotics in an industrial or manufacturing environment. - Interest in contributing to an innovative, up-and-coming robotics company. - Ability to create clear training materials and debug decision trees for technicians. Work Environment paragraph: "The role is part of a small, collaborative engineering team currently composed of three engineers, with plans to grow through both direct and contract hires. You will work hands-on with test hardware, robotics, and automated equipment in a manufacturing environment, frequently interacting with the production floor and test technicians. The setting emphasizes practical problem-solving, close cross-functional collaboration, and direct involvement with cutting-edge robotic systems and embedded technologies." Job Type & Location: "This is a Contract position based out of Wilmington, MA." Pay And Benefits: includes pay range and benefits list. Pay range: "$50.00 - $110.00/hr." Benefits list (if eligible): 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). Workplace Type: "This is a fully onsite position in Wilmington,MA." Application Deadline: "This position is anticipated to close on Oct 9, 2026." About Actalent: paragraph about company. We need to remove boilerplate: The About Actalent may be considered boilerplate but it's not legal/EEO etc. Might keep? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Actalent is not those. However it's a generic company description; could be considered boilerplate but not prohibited. I'd keep it as it's substantive about the employer. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    Test Engineer. We need to output only HTML fragment. We'll structure:

    About the role

    Job Description paragraph + maybe Work Environment + Job Type & Location + Workplace Type + Application Deadline? Could be separate paragraphs. Better to keep About the role as the Job Description paragraph only. Then we can have another section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role. We have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for combined essential and additional skills? Or Qualifications for experience? Let's map: - About the role: Job Description paragraph. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: maybe combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications? But they are skills/qualifications. Could put Requirements heading for the combined list of skills/experience. - Qualifications: maybe not needed if we used Requirements. - Skills: maybe separate? But we might not need both Requirements and Skills if we combine. We could do: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (list all skills), Benefits, Pay. We also have location and contract type etc. Could be included in About the role paragraph. Let's create About the role paragraph that includes Job Description, Work Environment, Job Type & Location, Workplace Type, Application Deadline? Might be too much but okay. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. If we combine multiple paragraphs into one, we still preserve the info, just concatenated. That's okay. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "The Test Engineer designs and develops test fixtures, stimuli, and automated test software to support production across multiple manufacturing sites. This role creates comprehensive manufacturing test specifications, procedures, and training materials, and works closely with development partners and contract manufacturers to ensure reliable, high-quality testing of robotic and embedded systems. The Test Engineer analyzes product performance data, participates in root cause investigations, and collaborates across functions to resolve design, manufacturing, and field issues. The role is part of a small, collaborative engineering team currently composed of three engineers, with plans to grow through both direct and contract hires. You will work hands-on with test hardware, robotics, and automated equipment in a manufacturing environment, frequently interacting with the production floor and test technicians. The setting emphasizes practical problem-solving, close cross-functional collaboration, and direct involvement with cutting-edge robotic systems and embedded technologies. This is a Contract position based out of Wilmington, MA. This is a fully onsite position in Wilmington, MA. The position is anticipated to close on Oct 9, 2026." We have duplicated "Wilmington, MA" twice; we can keep but it's duplicated lines; we should remove duplicated lines. So combine: "This is a Contract position based out of Wilmington, MA. This is a fully onsite position in Wilmington, MA." Could be merged: "This is a Contract, fully onsite position based out of Wilmington, MA." That preserves info without duplication. Thus About the role paragraph: combine. Now Responsibilities list as

    • . Skills: we need to list all skills from Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications. Let's combine them into a single list under Skills heading. Benefits list: under Benefits heading. Pay: under Pay heading
