YDA Manufacturing Engineer - Senior
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 (the page already shows it)
4. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it
5. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail
6. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions
7. Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text
8. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them
9. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones
10. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences
Let me analyze the job posting content:
The posting has:
- Introduction paragraph about the role
- "In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:" followed by 8 bullet points (these are responsibilities)
- "To be successful in this role you will need the following:" followed by 4 bullet points (these are requirements/qualifications)
- "Education, Licenses, Certifications:" section with degree requirement and licensing note
- "Experience:" section with "Intermediate Level Of Relevant Work Experience Required"
- Then a longer list of bullet points that seem to be more detailed responsibilities/requirements
- At the end: Job metadata (Organization, Role Category, Job Type, ReqID, Relocation Package, 100% On-Site) and EEO/E-Verify boilerplate
I need to structure this into appropriate sections. Let me identify the sections:
1. About the role - the introductory paragraph
2. Responsibilities - the first set of 8 bullet points under "In this role, you will make an impact..."
3. Requirements/Qualifications - the second set of 4 bullet points under "To be successful..." plus Education, Experience, and the detailed bullet points
The detailed bullet points after "Experience:" seem to be more specific responsibilities/requirements. I should include them.
The metadata at the end (Organization, Role Category, Job Type, ReqID, Relocation Package, 100% On-Site) - I should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The user said "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So I'll include a brief paragraph with relevant metadata like location, job type, relocation.
The EEO/E-Verify boilerplate should be removed.
No mention of Pay, Schedule, Benefits specifically, so I won't create those sections.
Let me structure the HTML:
-
About the role
with the intro paragraph
- Responsibilities
with the first 8 bullet points as -
-
Requirements
with the 4 bullet points from "To be successful..." plus Education, Experience, and the detailed bullet points
Actually, the "To be successful..." bullet points are more like qualifications/requirements. The detailed bullet points after Experience are also requirements/responsibilities. I'll combine them under Requirements or split into Qualifications and Responsibilities.
Looking at the content:
- First 8 bullets: "Build Strong Cross-Functional Partnerships", "Drive Clear Communication", etc. - these are responsibilities
- Next 4 bullets: "Own YDA Assembly Performance", "Master DC Tooling & Torque Systems", etc. - these are also responsibilities but more specific
- Education, Experience - qualifications
- Then the long list of detailed bullets - these are specific duties/requirements
I think I'll have:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (first 8 bullets + the 4 "To be successful" bullets + the detailed bullets) - but that's a lot. Maybe separate into "Key Responsibilities" and "Detailed Responsibilities" or just one Responsibilities section with all.
The user said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So I'll combine.
Let me create:

Wait, the user said "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So I should include ReqID? Probably drop it or include in the paragraph. I'll include the relevant metadata but not ReqID.
Also, the "Additional Information" heading - is that one of the allowed headings? The user listed: "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule". "Additional Information" is not in that list. But the user said "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)" - the "e.g." suggests these are examples, not exhaustive. But to be safe, maybe I should use "Qualifications" for the education/experience, and fold the metadata into a paragraph under Qualifications or at the end without a heading? The user said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". The metadata is real content but minor. I could put it in a
at the end without a heading, or under a generic heading. But the user said "use
for section headings (e.g. ...)" - maybe I should stick to those example headings. However, "Additional Information" is not in the list. I could use "Qualifications" for the education/experience and then a final paragraph for metadata.
Alternatively, I could include the metadata in the "About the role" section or as a separate paragraph after sections. The user said "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So I'll add a
at the end with the metadata, no heading.
Also, note that the first paragraph says "We are looking for a talented YDA Manufacturing Engineer – Senior to join our Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems (CDBS) Manufacturing team located in York, SC." That's the intro.
Now, check for duplication: The "To be successful" bullets and the detailed bullets have some overlap. For example, "Own YDA Assembly Performance" appears in both. The detailed bullets are more elaborate. I should include all substantive information, but avoid exact duplication. The posting has them as separate lists. I'll include all unique points.
Let me list all unique responsibility points:
From first list (8 items):
1. Build Strong Cross-Functional Partnerships
2. Drive Clear Communication
3. Champion Safety Excellence
4. Optimize Manufacturing Processes
5. Support Equipment & Capital Investments
6. Leverage Data-Driven Manufacturing Solutions
7. Enhance Workplace & Process Design
8. Solve Complex Manufacturing Challenges
From "To be successful" (4 items):
9. Own YDA Assembly Performance
10. Master DC Tooling & Torque Systems
11. Execute Product & Process Changes
12. Drive Quality & Continuous Improvement
From detailed list (11 items):
13. Own and support manufacturing
