The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. I need to follow the rules carefully: 1. Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) 2. Use
  • for lists of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose 3. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading 4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings 5. Preserve ALL substantive information 6. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions) 7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it 8. Never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text 9. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them 10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences Let me analyze the job posting content: The posting has: - "About Our Group" - introductory paragraph about the role - "About The Role - You Will" - this seems like responsibilities - "Production, Process Control, and RD Operations" - list of duties - "Troubleshooting, Analysis, and Engineering Support" - list of duties - "Technical Leadership and Cross-Functional Support" - list of duties - "About You" - requirements/qualifications - "Your Experience Includes" - experience requirements - "Location: Our Normandale campus..." - location info with amenities - Pay information: "The estimated base wage range for this position is $29.89 - $39.61/hr..." - Benefits information: "Seagate offers comprehensive benefits..." - Location: "Normandale, United States" - Travel: "None" I need to organize this into appropriate sections. The headings should be semantic: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Let me map: - "About Our Group" + "About The Role - You Will" → "About the role" section (prose) - The three bullet lists under "Production, Process Control...", "Troubleshooting...", "Technical Leadership..." → "Responsibilities" section (ul/li) - "About You" → "Requirements" or "Qualifications" (list of skills/attributes) - "Your Experience Includes" → "Qualifications" or "Experience" (list of experience requirements) - Location info → could be part of "About the role" or separate "Location" but not a standard heading. The rules mention Schedule, Pay, Benefits as possible headings. Location isn't listed but could be included in a prose paragraph. - Pay info → "Pay" section - Benefits info → "Benefits" section - Schedule info: "Able to work C-Shift, Fri-Sun, and every other Thursday, 6:30AM-6:30PM" → "Schedule" section - Travel: "None" → could be in Schedule or separate. I should not create sections for filler. The posting has real content for Pay, Benefits, Schedule. Now, I need to ensure I don't repeat the job title. The job title appears to be "Wafer Process Engineering Technician" or "UTP Wafer Process Engineering Technician" and "Engineering Specialist IV". The page already shows it, so I won't include as heading. I'll structure:

    Also include location info: maybe in About the role or a separate paragraph. The rules don't have a Location heading, but I can include in About the role or as a prose paragraph before sections. Since the page already shows location? The user said "Location: Normandale, United States" and also a description of the campus. I'll include that in About the role. Now, I must output ONLY the HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let me write the HTML. Note: The bullet points in the original are separated by line breaks. I'll convert each bullet to
  • . The original uses hyphens or line breaks. I'll parse each distinct duty. From "Production, Process Control, and RD Operations": - Manage incoming and outgoing UTP production WIP, source wafers, utilization, and priorities based on time at step, production needs, and special requests; coordinate schedules and concerns across RD Admins, Operations, Engineering, and Materials. - Manage GaAs wafer qualification, including yield inspection review, rework, custom transfer maps, and specialized handling. - Evaluate qualification and process stability using SPC charts, distributions, trends, correlations, historical baselines, and quantitative reasoning; distinguish normal variation from assignable causes and assess product or process risk. - Perform manual overnight RD runs, wafer and optical alignment, safe abort and wafer removal, Stamp and Height Sensor calibrations, and custom handling following interruptions. - Balance UTP assignments with broader factory priorities and support other manufacturing areas when needed. From "Troubleshooting, Analysis, and Engineering Support": - Independently perform first-line troubleshooting for UTP processes, equipment behavior, software alarms, and ambiguous manufacturing issues using structured problem-solving. - Analyze tool logs, KPIV and wafer data, SPC results, and historical trends to differentiate equipment-, process-, material-, and system-driven causes and determine next steps. - Review MWE configurations, consumables, and chemical bath compositions; resolve applicable alarms and coordinate Maintenance support when required. - Apply technical judgment when documentation does not address a condition, considering personnel, product, equipment, and process risk; escalate with clear evidence, actions taken, and required follow-up. - Support Engineering trials, experiments, qualifications, special processing, software or process testing, and manual runs; monitor processes, make in-scope adjustments, and document results. - Identify recurring issues and opportunities for corrective or preventive action, improved reaction plans, and clearer technical documentation. From "Technical Leadership and Cross-Functional Support": - Serve as a technical resource for UTP and broader wafer manufacturing, applying advanced in-room skills and factory knowledge to unfamiliar situations. - Train and mentor technicians, guide less-experienced staff through complex situations, reinforce best practices, and expand capability across manufacturing areas. - Execute Engineering rules for non-conforming wafers; analyze rework and scrap, apply root-cause analysis and disposition guidelines, and engage Engineering when conditions fall outside established guidance. - Communicate effectively with Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, Materials, and RD through Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and established workflows. - Provide concise shift passdowns covering processing and production status, abnormal conditions, equipment concerns, troubleshooting, actions taken, and outstanding follow-up. - Maintain accurate technical documentation, recognize concerns requiring broader escalation, and recommend improvements to guidelines and reaction plans. - Work in accordance with all health, safety, equipment, chemical, and material-handling requirements. From "About You": - Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills; able to independently investigate complex manufacturing issues and make evidence-based decisions. - Comfortable extracting, filtering, visualizing, and interpreting tool logs, KPIV datasets, wafer, qualification, equipment, and SPC data using Excel and tools such as JMP or Minitab. - Sound judgment in situations beyond established documentation, including when to act independently and when risk requires Engineering, Maintenance, or broader escalation. - Clear written and verbal communicator across varying levels of technical knowledge; highly proficient with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Office applications, and digital manufacturing workflows. - Able to perform specialized manual wafer processing and handling, adapt to changing priorities, support multiple manufacturing areas, and maintain focus and accuracy during extended work periods. - Demonstrates initiative, continuous learning, and the ability to train and mentor others.

Now, I'll combine "About Our Group" and "About The Role - You Will" into a prose paragraph for About the role. "About Our Group" paragraph: "As a Wafer Process Engineering Technician, you play a critical role in supporting Seagate’s thin‑film head manufacturing. You will partner closely with process and sustaining engineers to control processes, evaluate tool performance, execute data‑driven troubleshooting, and ensure the highest quality of recording head wafers. This position requires strong analytical skills, comfort working with data, and the ability to apply structured problem‑solving in a fast‑paced production environment. This role supports a complex, high‑reliability operating environment where sustained mental focus, continuous learning, and sound judgment are required throughout extended shifts." "About The Role - You Will" paragraph: "As a UTP Wafer Process Engineering Technician, you will provide specialized technical and sustaining support for UTP production and RD processing in Seagate’s thin-film head manufacturing environment. You will support wafer flow, GaAs wafer processing and qualification, manual RD operations, and first-line troubleshooting of UTP equipment and processes. Working with Process, Sustaining, and RD Engineering, Operations, Materials, and Maintenance, you will coordinate priorities, maintain production flow, respond to abnormal conditions, and interpret process and equipment data. As an Engineering Specialist IV, you will serve as a shift resource—independently assessing unfamiliar situations, managing product and equipment risk, supporting other technicians, and escalating when additional expertise is required. This high-reliability role requires sustained focus, continuous learning, sound technical judgment, and clear communication through Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and shift passdowns. Able to work C-Shift, Fri-Sun, and every other Thursday, 6:30AM-6:30PM" I'll combine these into one or two paragraphs. Location description: "Our Normandale campus spans two suburbs, Edina and
