We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract content:
Title: Test Engineering Technician (6 month contract) – but we should not repeat job title as heading.
First paragraph: "Engineering technicians will play an instrumental role in the success of Lunar Energy by helping to build and test all of our key hardware products in a lab environment. We're looking for someone to be both hands-on with our products as well as a leader to shape and manage a growing technician organization. We are looking for people who are passionate about a more sustainable and energy-independent future and want to make that vision a reality. An ideal candidate is someone excited to collaborate with a diverse and dedicated team. Lunar nergy was founded to transition homes to 100% clean energy—making our electricity greener, our air cleaner and our energy more safe, secure and reliable for all. We're a fast-growing, global company building the world's best clean energy products to electrify all homes and connect communities to form clean, resilient virtual power plants."
That's about the role/company.
Then: "On a given day at Lunar, you'll likely:" then list bullet points:
- Support engineering prototype builds of complex electromechanical assemblies.
- Perform troubleshooting on circuits, down to device level, in collaboration with the EE team.
- Perform soldering, mechanical assembly, and fabrication of simple test boxes and cables
- Perform system and equipment level testing per Engineering direction
- Experience with prototype builds, test, and fixture builds
- Experience with CAD work and software such as Shape, Solid works
- Prepare test articles and support post-test product tear-downs in collaboration with reliability and test teams.
- Feedback on product performance/inadequacies to Engineering
- Evaluate technician requirements and support the build-out of the Lunar technician organization.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized working environment throughout builds and engineering tests.
- Safely manage materials and equipment
These are responsibilities.
Then "Desired Skills:" then list:
- Associate degree in Electronics, or similar, and/or 5 years of experience in the field
- 5+ years of experience working in an R&D or development lab environment in close collaboration with engineering staff.
- Good interpersonal skills with ability to work effectively with other individuals in a team or project setting
- You are self-motivated and able to work with little supervision, consistently take the initiative to get things done, and do things before being asked by others.
- Ability to consistently make timely decisions even in the face of complexity; balancing systematic analysis with decisiveness
- Some Production support experience, software development experience
These could be Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We need to decide sections.
We have Benefits section: after "Benefits:" then list:
- We're dedicated to creating a remarkable employee experience. At Lunar, competitive base pay is one part of our total compensation package. Lunar employees also have the opportunity to become Lunar shareholders by getting equity in a fast-growing company and participating in our employee stock program. Additional benefits include:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents
- Flexible Paid Time Off plus 10 paid holidays
- Tax deferred 401(k) plan
- Paid parental leave for all full time employees including 12 weeks paid parental leave for the birthing mother and 6 weeks paid parental leave for the non-birthing parent
- Subsidized EV charging and pre-tax commuter benefits
Then there is "Our DE&I Philosophy:" etc which is boilerplate EEO; we need to remove.
Then "Our Compensation Philosophy:" includes pay range: "Please note that the hourly range information that follows is a good faith estimate for this position provided pursuant to the Pay Transparency for Pay Equity Act for California applicants. The hourly range estimate for this position depending on level of experience is $35-$75 USD The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package & benefits, will be at the company's sole discretion, and determined by factors including but not limited to years of experience, job level, geographic location, and other relevant business considerations. The company also reserves the right to amend or modify this job description, employee perks, and benefits at any time."
We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, they give hourly range $35-$75 USD. So we should include Pay section with that info. Not schedule.
Schedule: not mentioned. So we omit Schedule.
Now sections: About the role (maybe combine intro). Responsibilities (the bullet list). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: we need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements? Could be "Associate degree..." etc. Qualifications? Could be similar. Skills? Could be "Good interpersonal skills..." etc. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have to follow allowed headings; we can choose either Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. The posting includes both "Desired Skills:" and also earlier statements about experience etc. Could treat "Desired Skills:" as Skills section. The earlier bullet about associate degree etc could be Requirements or Qualifications. Let's make two sections: Requirements (associate degree, 5+ years experience) and Skills (interpersonal, self-motivated, decision making, production support, software dev). Or we could combine into Qualifications. But we need to avoid filler. Let's decide:
- Requirements: Associate degree in Electronics, or similar, and/or 5 years of experience in the field; 5+ years of experience working in an R&D or development lab environment in close collaboration with engineering staff.
- Skills: Good interpersonal skills with ability to work effectively with other individuals in a team or project setting; You are self-motivated and able to work with little supervision, consistently take the initiative to get things done, and do things before being asked by others.; Ability to consistently make timely decisions even in the face of complexity; balancing systematic analysis with decisiveness; Some Production support experience, software development experience.
That seems reasonable.
Benefits: we have content.
Pay: hourly range $35-$75 USD.
Now we need to output HTML fragment: use
for each section heading, then content: either
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet as is.
We need to remove boilerplate: DE&I Philosophy, Compensation Philosophy beyond pay range? We already extracted pay range; we should not include the philosophy text. Also remove "Our DE&I Philosophy: Lunar Energy is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Our Compensation Philosophy: Our goal is to ensure that all Lunar Energy employees are fairly compensated." etc. Also remove "Please note that the hourly range information that follows is a good faith estimate..."? Actually we need to keep the pay range info; but the sentence includes that phrase. We can keep the range but maybe we can rephrase? The instruction: do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the sentence as is, but it includes some boilerplate language. However it's part of the pay disclosure; we could keep it but it's somewhat boilerplate. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The pay range disclosure is not exactly those categories; it's a legal requirement but it's part of the posting. I'd keep it.
But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Not present.
Now produce HTML.
