On-siteQuality Assurance$26–$40/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections with real content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Summary: "Worker Type Regular Summary Job Description The primary responsibility of the Test Technician Team Lead is to test (Small Unmanned Aria System) (Loitering Munition Systems (LMS)) products in our manufacturing facility following released engineering drawings and assembly instructions using our work order system. Often serves as facilitator and lead, mentoring less experienced Technicians." - Position Responsibilities: list of duties. - Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience): list. - Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies: list. - Physical Demands: list. - Special Requirements: U.S. Citizen etc. - The Salary Range For This Role Is $26 - $40 (maybe per hour? Not specified but we have salary range). So we can include Pay section with that range. - Benefits: "AV offers an excellent benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401K with company matching, a 9/80 work schedule and a paid holiday shutdown." - Possibly Schedule: mention 9/80 work schedule (that's a schedule). So we can include Schedule section with that. - About AV: description of company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About AV" is company description. Could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (maybe summarizing the role description). We have a summary paragraph; we can put that under About the role. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements: maybe combine Basic Qualifications and Other Qualifications? Could separate Requirements (required) and Qualifications (desired). Or we can have Requirements (basic qualifications) and Qualifications (other desired). Or Skills: maybe list skills. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include EEO boilerplate etc. Remove lines about EEO/AA etc. Also remove "Principals only need apply. NO agencies please." That's application instruction; remove. Also remove "About AV" maybe we can keep as About the role? Actually About AV is company description; could be placed under About the role? Might be okay. But we could also make a separate section "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those. So we can put company description under About the role? Might be odd but okay. Or we could omit it. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit company description if it's substantive. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include company description somewhere. Could be under About the role heading (makes sense). Or we could add a custom heading like "About the company" but that deviates from examples but not prohibited. Safer to use About the role and include both role summary and company description? Might be mixing. Better to have About the role for role summary, and maybe a separate section "About the company" but not in list; risk of being considered not following instruction. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we can use other headings as needed. But to be safe, we can use About the role for role summary, and maybe a separate section "About the company" using h3 as well. That should be fine. We also need to include Pay section with salary range $26 - $40. Probably per hour. We'll just put that. Schedule: mention 9/80 work schedule. Benefits: list. Now we need to remove duplicated lines: there are duplicates like "Works on assignments requiring considerable judgment and initiative." appears twice. We'll keep only one. Also duplicate "Work with engineering on new product development efforts where documentation and assembly instructions are not yet finalized." appears in responsibilities and other qualifications; we can keep once maybe under responsibilities. Now craft HTML. Structure:

Skills

Maybe we can combine some skills but we already have many. Could skip Skills section if redundant. But we have many skill-like items in Qualifications. Could still include Skills: maybe list manual dexterity, computer operation, hand tools, analytical, problem-solving, attention to detail, 5 whys, blueprint reading, etc. But we already have them. To avoid duplication, maybe we omit Skills section. But we need to include only when posting has real specific content.
