We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting text: "The Opportunity Conduct the simulation, testing, and evaluation of robotic and uncrewed systems across multiple operational domains and DoD warfighter mission areas. Build the software and hardware test environments to prove the performance of robotic capabilities through an integral simulation and test-driven development processes that address complex client problems in sensing, autonomy, and human interaction. Apply advanced engineering skills, extensive technical expertise, and full industry knowledge. Develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Work without considerable direction, and mentor and supervise team members. Join us. The world can't wait." That's likely the "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Could be responsibilities. Then "You Have 3+ years of experience as a software developer working primarily in Linux-based embedded or edge systems2+ years of experience developing and integrating Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing into embedded development environments2+ years of experience with test-driven development, including test design, automation, and regression testingExperience analyzing and visualizing log file and telemetry data resulting from testingExperience with software package management and configuration management tools, such as Conan and NixAbility to obtain a Secret clearanceBachelor’s degree in a Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a Robotics field" That's requirements/qualifications. Then "Nice If You Have Experience working with UAS platforms in the development of flight controls, autonomous decision making, and performance optimizationExperience developing software following DevOps principles, including Agile, CI/CD, test-driven development, and using automation tools, including pipelines and runnersExperience developing dashboards and automated reporting based on test dataMaster’s degree in a Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a Robotics field preferred; Doctorate degree in a Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a Robotics field a plus" That's nice-to-have qualifications. Then "Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information." That's clearance requirement. Then "Compensation At Booz Allen, we celebrate your contributions, provide you with opportunities and choices, and support your total well-being. Our offerings include health, life, disability, financial, and retirement benefits, as well as paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs, and dependent care. Our recognition awards program acknowledges employees for exceptional performance and superior demonstration of our values. Full-time and part-time employees working at least 20 hours a week on a regular basis are eligible to participate in Booz Allen’s benefit programs. Individuals that do not meet the threshold are only eligible for select offerings, not inclusive of health benefits. We encourage you to learn more about our total benefits by visiting the Resource page on our Careers site and reviewing Our Employee Benefits page. Salary at Booz Allen is determined by various factors, including but not limited to location, the individual’s particular combination of education, knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience, as well as contract-specific affordability and organizational requirements. The projected compensation range for this position is $99,000.00 to $225,000.00 (annualized USD). The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position and is just one component of Booz Allen’s total compensation package for employees. This posting will close within 90 days from the Posting Date." That's benefits and pay. Then "Identity Statement As part of the hiring process, we will ask you to complete an identity verification process that leverages advanced biometrics and artificial intelligence to ensure authenticity and protect against identity fraud. You are expected to be on camera during interviews and assessments. We reserve the right to take your picture to verify your identity and prevent fraud." That's boilerplate? Might be considered legal/EEO? It's about identity verification; maybe we should drop as boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Identity verification maybe considered legal? It's about fraud prevention; could be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to drop. Then "Candidate AI Usage Policy AI is a part of our daily work at Booz Allen, and we are committed to the responsible and ethical use of AI tools. However, we want to ensure a fair candidate process based on your own skills and knowledge. As part of this commitment, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) or other tools to assist with responses during interviews (whether in-person or virtual) is prohibited unless permission is explicitly provided." That's also policy; maybe drop. Then "Work Model Our people-first culture prioritizes the benefits of collaboration, whether it occurs in person or virtually. To support engagement and effective communication, employees working virtually are generally expected to have their cameras on during meetings. Remote: If this position is listed as remote, there may still be occasions when you are required to work in person at a Booz Allen or customer facility.Hybrid: If this position is listed as hybrid, you will be expected to work from a Booz Allen facility frequently, in alignment with leadership expectations and the needs of the role. You may also be required to work from or visit a customer facility.Onsite: If this position is listed as onsite, work will primarily be performed at a Booz Allen office or customer facility, where employees will collaborate directly with colleagues and customers as required by the role." That's work model; maybe schedule? Not exactly schedule but could be considered schedule. The instruction: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state remote/hybrid/onsite expectations. That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section with that content. Then "Commitment to Non-Discrimination All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, local, or international law." That's EEO boilerplate; drop. Thus we need sections: About the role (or Responsibilities), Requirements, Qualifications (maybe combine), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No job title given. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. Let's extract content: About the role / Responsibilities: The first paragraph: "Conduct the simulation, testing, and evaluation of robotic and uncrewed systems across multiple operational domains and DoD warfighter mission areas. Build the software and hardware test environments to prove the performance of robotic capabilities through an integral simulation and test-driven development processes that address complex client problems in sensing, autonomy, and human interaction. Apply advanced engineering skills, extensive technical expertise, and full industry knowledge. Develop innovative solutions to complex problems. Work without considerable direction, and mentor and supervise team members. Join us. The world can't wait." That's responsibilities. We could put under

    with

    containing that text. Requirements: The "You Have" list: 3+ years experience as software developer Linux-based embedded/edge; 2+ years experience developing/integrating HIL and SIL testing; 2+ years experience with test-driven development including test design, automation, regression testing; experience analyzing and visualizing log file and telemetry data; experience with software package management and configuration management tools such as Conan and Nix; ability to obtain a Secret clearance; Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics. We can make a

    • for each. Qualifications: maybe separate "Nice If You Have" as preferred qualifications. Nice-to-have: Experience working with UAS platforms in development of flight controls, autonomous decision making, performance optimization; Experience developing software following DevOps principles, including Agile, CI/CD, test-driven development, and using automation tools, including pipelines and runners; Experience developing dashboards and automated reporting based on test data; Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Robotics field preferred; Doctorate degree in same fields a plus. We could put under

      Preferred Qualifications

      or

      Qualifications

      but we already used Requirements for mandatory. Could use

      Preferred Qualifications

      . Skills: Could extract skills from requirements: Linux-based embedded/edge systems, HIL/SIL testing, test-driven development, log analysis, telemetry, Conan, Nix, Secret clearance, etc. But we already have them in requirements; maybe we don't need separate Skills section unless we want to list skills explicitly. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section? But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We have Responsibilities, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications (maybe Qualifications), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now Benefits: The compensation paragraph includes benefits: health, life, disability, financial, retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs, dependent care, recognition awards program. Also eligibility details. We'll put that under

      Benefits

      with
      • for each benefit. Pay: The salary range: $99,000.00 to $225,000.00 (annualized USD). Also note that salary determined by factors. We'll put under

        Pay

        with

        containing that. Schedule: Work model details: remote/hybrid/onsite expectations. We'll put under

        Schedule

        with

        containing that. We must not include boilerplate like Identity Statement, AI Usage Policy, Commitment to Non-Discrimination. Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Now produce HTML fragment. We need to wrap sections in appropriate tags. Example:
