We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also remove "Application Deadline", "About Actalent", etc. Also remove "Work Environment" maybe we can include as part of description? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections to include based on content. We have content: - Job description paragraph: "The Wiring Harness Design Release Engineer designs, packages, and releases vehicle wiring harnesses while ensuring manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and high quality. This role collaborates closely with designers, manufacturing teams, and customer engineering groups to integrate wiring harnesses into vehicles using established design guidelines. The engineer also supports vehicle build events, manages engineering changes, and drives continuous improvement through cost reduction and warranty analysis." That could be "About the role" or "Job Description". Use

About the role

with

. - Responsibilities list: bullet points (multiple). Use

Responsibilities

with
  • . - Essential Skills: list of requirements (minimum 3 years experience, hands-on, bachelor's degree, etc). Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll decide: maybe "Qualifications" for education/experience, and "Skills" for abilities. But we have both "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". We can combine into sections: "Qualifications" (education, experience) and "Skills" (technical abilities). However we must not create thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. We have: Essential Skills: - Minimum of 3 years of experience in the automotive industry as a Wiring Harness Design Release Engineer or in a closely related wiring harness role. - Hands-on experience with wiring harness design and release in an automotive environment. - Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering. - Strong electrical design engineering experience with an understanding of wiring systems and harness architecture. - Proven experience in design release processes, including managing and documenting engineering changes. - Ability to apply logical thinking and structured problem-solving to resolve complex design issues. - Willingness and ability to travel to manufacturing sites in Mexico and to customer locations as required. - Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, to interact with internal teams and customer personnel. - Open-minded and adaptable personality suited to working with dynamic customer requirements and changing priorities. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Additional Skills & Qualifications: - Experience supporting vehicle build events and providing on-site engineering support at customer facilities. - Familiarity with Stellantis wiring harness design guidelines or similar OEM design standards. - Experience incorporating Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles into wiring harness design. - Experience in cost reduction initiatives, including identifying design, material, or process changes to reduce overall cost. - Experience reviewing warranty data and translating findings into actionable design improvements. - Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams. - Strong organizational skills for tracking design changes, documentation, and cost impacts. These are overlapping; we can combine into one "Qualifications and Skills" section, but we need headings from allowed list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could have:

    About the role

    ...

    Responsibilities

      ...

    Qualifications

      ...
    (including education, experience, etc.)

    Skills

      ...
    (maybe technical skills like DFM, cost reduction, warranty analysis, communication, etc.) But we must avoid duplication. Could combine qualifications and skills into one section "Qualifications". However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes both experience/education and skills). But we also have Pay and Benefits specifics: Pay range $43.27 - $62.50/hr, benefits list. So we should include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule: Not explicitly given; only mention "Standard business hours generally apply, with flexibility required during key build events or critical project milestones." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include sections with placeholder or generic like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Now we need to strip boilerplate: remove "Application Deadline", "About Actalent", equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Work Environment" maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Schedule? But we have schedule info; work environment details could be omitted as not required? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. Work environment includes details about blended environment, travel, shop floor, etc. That's substantive. Should we include it? Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section "Work Environment". But allowed headings list does not include Work Environment; but we could still use

    Work Environment

    ? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings. We could incorporate work environment details into About the role or Schedule. Since schedule already includes flexibility, we could add work environment details to About the role. Thus About the role paragraph can be expanded to include work environment details. Now we need to preserve all substantive information: responsibilities list, qualifications/skills, pay, benefits, schedule. Let's extract responsibilities list exactly as given: - Collaborate with designers to package wiring harnesses in vehicles in accordance with Stellantis design guidelines. - Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to wiring harness designs to ensure efficient and reliable production. - Support vehicle build events at customer sites, providing on-site engineering support and resolving wiring harness issues. - Specify, document, and coordinate engineering changes related to wiring harness designs. - Issue documentation to authorize design changes and ensure proper tracking of associated costs. - Support cost reduction initiatives by identifying and implementing design improvements and material or process optimizations. - Review warranty claims related to wiring harnesses to identify root causes and recommend design improvements. - Work closely with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing and customer engineering, to address design issues and implement solutions. - Use logical, structured problem-solving methods to resolve design and integration issues in a timely manner. - Communicate design status, issues, and changes clearly and professionally to internal teams and customer stakeholders. - Coordinate with manufacturing sites, including facilities in Mexico, to ensure alignment between design intent and production capabilities. Now qualifications/skills: we need to decide what to put in Qualifications section. Could include education, experience, etc. Let's list all items from Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications, but avoid duplication. List: - Minimum of 3 years of experience in the automotive industry as a Wiring Harness Design Release Engineer or in a closely related wiring harness role. - Hands-on experience with wiring harness design and release in an automotive environment. - Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering. - Strong electrical design engineering experience with an understanding of wiring systems and harness architecture. - Proven experience in design release processes, including managing and documenting engineering changes. - Ability to apply logical thinking and structured problem-solving to resolve complex design issues. - Willingness and ability to travel to manufacturing sites in Mexico and to customer locations as required. - Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, to interact with internal teams and customer personnel. - Open-minded and adaptable personality suited to working with dynamic customer requirements and changing priorities. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. - Experience supporting vehicle build events and providing on-site engineering support at customer facilities. - Familiarity with Stellantis wiring harness design guidelines or similar OEM design standards. - Experience incorporating Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles into wiring harness design. - Experience in cost reduction initiatives, including identifying design, material, or process changes to reduce overall cost. - Experience reviewing warranty data and translating findings into actionable design improvements. - Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams. - Strong organizational skills for tracking design changes, documentation, and cost impacts. We could split into Qualifications (education, experience) and Skills (technical abilities). But to keep sections few, maybe we combine into Qualifications. Now Pay: "$43.27 - $62.50/hr." plus note about compensation depending on factors. We should include that as Pay section. Benefits list: Medical, dental & vision; Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital; 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available; Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents); Short and long-term disability; Health Spending Account (HSA); Transportation benefits; Employee Assistance Program; Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave). We need to preserve all. Schedule: "Standard business hours generally apply, with flexibility required during key build events or critical project milestones." Also mention travel required to manufacturing sites in Mexico and to customer locations for build events, reviews, and issue resolution. Also mention hybrid position in Troy, MI. Also mention work typically takes place in professional office and engineering environments, with occasional time spent on the shop floor or in vehicle build areas where appropriate safety practices and attire are expected. That's work environment but we can incorporate into Schedule or About the role. We'll create Schedule section with that info. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:
