We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for each heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Principals only need apply. NO agencies please." etc. Also remove "About AV" maybe? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content: Job Description (summary) - we could put under "About the role". Responsibilities: many bullet points. Requirements: Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience). Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies could be Skills or Qualifications. Physical Demands maybe part of Requirements? Could be separate but we might not have a section for Physical Demands unless we include under Requirements or Skills. Training Travel Requirement: mention travel to Simi Valley for training. Special Requirements: US Citizen etc. Clearance Level: No Clearance. Salary Range: $60,500 - $92,500. Benefits: described. Also ITAR Requirement etc. We need to decide sections: About the role (summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (basic qualifications). Qualifications (other qualifications & desired competencies). Skills (maybe combine with qualifications? But we can separate: Skills could be technical skills like CAD, MRP/ERP, Excel, etc. However the posting includes "Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience)" which includes education, experience, CAD certification, computer skills, MRP/ERP. Then "Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies" includes soft skills, initiative, etc. Could map to Skills and Qualifications. We also have Pay section: Salary Range. Benefits section: benefits description. Schedule: maybe mention 9/80 work schedule (from benefits). Also training travel requirement maybe under Schedule? But schedule is about work schedule; we have "9/80 work schedule". So we can include Schedule section with that detail. We must not include sections with placeholder or vague like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary range, so Pay section is valid. We must not include sections like "About AV" maybe not needed; but we could include About the role using the summary paragraph. The "About AV" is company description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's promotional. Might be considered not required; but we could keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About AV" is not explicitly listed to remove, but it's more company marketing. Might be okay to keep? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About AV as a separate section might be thin. Better to incorporate into About the role? The About the role heading expects description of role; we already have summary. Could add company description there? Might be okay but risk of adding non-role info. Safer to keep only the summary under About the role. Thus sections: - About the role:
with the summary paragraph: "The Tool & Fixture Designer I provides complete engineering designing services of tools and equipment used in production line assembly and fabrication of composite components for the manufacture of Small Unmanned Air Vehicles." - Responsibilities:
- each bullet from "Position Responsibilities". Need to extract each sentence separated by line breaks? The responsibilities block is a long paragraph with sentences separated by no punctuation? Let's parse: "Designs, develops, implements, monitors, orders and distributes tooling including assembly fixtures, fabrication fixtures, molds, hand tools and equipmentEnsure all tooling and items requiring calibration are identified and accounted for within and outside of the facility.Liaison to the Property Management groupPerform inspection of tools and equipment for wear, defects, or damageResponsible for the Engineering tool inventory cageDocuments/releases assembly & fabrication drawings per GD&T and industry standard drafting practices in compliance with ASME Y14.5 & Y14.100Provides technical expertise in mechanical & composite manufacturing processes, assembly processesProvides input to machine shop for tool path generation programming for machining of tools, fixtures, moldsSupports tooling activities in areas of airframe design, structural analysis, suppliers, manufacturing, production, quality assurance, testing and tool fabricationErgonomic considerations in design to ensure safe, effective, and improved productivity in use of toolsRespond to audits on the conformance to established practices for all tools and fixtures, document findings, develop and deploy necessary corrective actionsCreate metrics for the tooling system and maintain version control over all tools and fixturesResolves a wide range of issues in creative ways, receiving little instruction on day-to-day workProvide guidance to junior level associatesOther duties as assigned" We need to split into sensible list items. Each seems to be a responsibility. We'll create
- for each.
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience). We'll list each bullet.
Content: "Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical design is required or equivalent combination of education, training, and experienceMinimum of 0-2 years of relevant experience with bachelors1+ years of hands-on experience in tool, electrical fixture design with proven results, in lieu of Bachelor's degreeAbility to calculate material weights, perform stress and pressure analysis of tooling in design phaseCAD software certificationStrong computer skills are required, including proficiency in Excel and WordExperience using computerized MRP/ERP systems"
We need to split into items.
- Qualifications: Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies. List each.
Content: "Manage tasks and projects effectivelyImplement cost effective designs and fabrication of toolingUses professional concepts and company objectives to resolve complex issues in creative and effective waysAble to excel in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, where small teams share a broad variety of dutiesDisplays strong initiative and drive to accomplish goals and meet company objectivesTakes ownership and responsibility for current and past work productsIs committed to learning from mistakes and driven to improve and enhance performance of oneself, others, and the companyHas effective problem-solving, analytical, interpersonal and communication skills. Demonstrates teamwork, collaboration and puts the success of the team above one's own interestsLean/Six Sigma manufacturing tools implementation is desiredFamiliarity with electromechanical manufacturing is desiredExperience in Test and Calibration equipment software and hardware is preferredStrong analytical skills and effective communication skillsStrong organizational skills with attention to detail and ability to multi-task"
We need to split.
- Skills: maybe we could combine technical skills from Basic Qualifications? But we already have Requirements. Could treat Requirements as qualifications and Skills as technical skills. However the instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have both Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience) and Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies. Could map Basic Qualifications to Requirements, and Other Qualifications to Skills. Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications both. Let's decide: Use Requirements for basic qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Use Skills for other qualifications & desired competencies (soft skills, initiative, etc.). That seems logical.
- Benefits: from "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. For more information about our company benefit offerings please visit: http://www.avinc.com/myavbenefits. We also encourage you to review our company website at http://www.avinc.com to learn more about us."
We need to preserve substantive info: medical, dental vision, 401K with company matching, 9/80 work schedule, paid holiday shutdown. Also maybe mention link but that's application instruction? It's more info; we could keep but it's a link. Might be okay. However we should remove application instructions; this is not exactly application instruction but a link for benefits info. Might be okay to keep as part of benefits.
- Pay: Salary Range: "$60,500 - $92,500". Also note that AeroVironment considers several factors when extending an offer... That's substantive but maybe not needed; we can include as part of Pay section.
- Schedule: we have 9/80 work schedule mentioned in Benefits; also training travel requirement: "This position requires initial travel to Simi Valley, CA for training. Travel, lodging, meals, and ground transportation will be provided." Also "Occasionally may be required to travel within the Continental U.S." That's travel requirement, not schedule. Could include under Schedule? Might be better to have a Travel section but not listed. Since we only allowed sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Travel could go under Schedule? Not ideal. Could include under Responsibilities? Not really. Could include under Requirements? Not really. Could add a separate section but not allowed headings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. ...)". It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could add others but better to stick to those. Travel could be placed under Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be placed under Requirements? Not. Could be placed under Benefits? Not. Could be placed under Schedule? Maybe we can treat travel as part of schedule (travel requirement). We'll include a brief note in Schedule: "Initial travel to Simi Valley, CA for training (travel, lodging, meals, ground transportation provided); occasional travel within Continental U.S. may be required." Also mention 9/80 work schedule. Thus Schedule section will contain both. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's craft HTML. We'll produce:
