Test Engineer III

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a Job Summary paragraph. We'll treat that as "About the role" maybe. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So include: company description? The first paragraph about Battelle delivering when others can't etc. That's substantive? It's generic but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about the company. Might be considered part of job posting but not required? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The company description may be considered boilerplate but it's not explicitly listed. However it's generic fluff. Might be considered not substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description is not about the job but about Battelle. Might be considered not essential but could be kept? Usually they'd want to keep the job summary and responsibilities etc. The first paragraph is more like marketing fluff; but it's not explicitly prohibited. I'd keep it as part of "About the role" maybe. We need sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications (Key Qualifications), Preferred Qualifications, Compensation (Pay), Benefits, Schedule (maybe from benefits description includes compressed work schedule, hybrid arrangement). Also maybe "Work Environment" etc. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes compensation data: salary range $87,600 – $124,800 per year. So we need Pay section. Benefits: they list many benefits. So Benefits section. Schedule: they mention compressed work schedule (every other Friday off), hybrid arrangement 60% in-office 40% remote, Monday Tuesday common in-office days. So Schedule section. Also maybe "Work Environment" could be a section but not required; we can include if we want but better to keep few substantive sections. The posting also includes "Vaccinations & Safety Protocols" and EEO statements which we should remove as boilerplate. Also "A Work Environment Where You Succeed" is somewhat fluff but maybe we could keep as "Work Environment". However it's not explicitly required; but it's substantive? It's more marketing. I'd omit to keep sections minimal. Thus sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities, Key Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We need to format lists: Responsibilities list items are bullet points after "Responsibilities may include:" We'll make

  • each. Key Qualifications: list of items separated by semicolons? Actually it's a paragraph with many items separated by semicolons. We'll break into list items for each distinct qualification. Similarly Preferred Qualifications list. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each item exactly as in text, maybe rephrase? We should keep the wording but can split into list items. Let's extract. Job Summary paragraph: "We are currently seeking a Lead Test Engineer. This position is a full-time opportunity located in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. Battelle's Infrastructure Safety & Security Division provides research, development, test, and evaluation services to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL). The selected candidate will support the TSL Commercial Aviation Vulnerability Mitigation (CAVM) project, which involves live-fire test planning, instrumentation, and test result analysis to inform aircraft design, explosive mitigation techniques, and baggage screening policies aimed at improving commercial aviation security." We'll put that in

    under About the role. Responsibilities: after "Responsibilities As a Lead Test Engineer, the selected individual will lead and support explosive vulnerability and mitigation testing activities in direct support of DHS and national aviation security objectives. Responsibilities may include:" then list: - Lead the development of test matrices and test planning for a range of DHS-conducted blast vulnerability and mitigation tests, utilizing DHS-supplied commercial aircraft and other test assets - Assist DHS and its DoD contractor with the preparation, setup, and conduct of explosive vulnerability and mitigation test activities, including the identification, configuration, operation, and support of blast response measurement instrumentation (e.g., digital image correlation, blast overpressure gauges, optical measurement techniques) - Acquire, compile, store, reduce, and analyze instrumentation data acquired during DHS-sponsored explosive mitigation testing - Review instrumentation test plans and procedures; conduct tests, collect test data; and prepare test result analyses and program assessment reports - Assist with predictive blast response modeling and simulation to support test planning - Develop work breakdown structures, identify critical path elements, and track project activities - Work in varying outdoor weather conditions at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), MD, including the use of respirators and the ability to lift up to 20 pounds We'll put each as
