In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below:
SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Applicants must have at least 1 year (52 weeks) of specialized experience at the next lower broadband NH-02, equivalent to the next lower grade GS-11 or equivalent in other pay systems. Specialized experience includes: knowledge of a wide range of electronics engineering theories, concepts, principles, standards, and methods sufficient to determine and/or execute actions for a wide range of assignments involving combinations of complex features; knowledge of engineering standards and methods to formulate, execute, advise on, and explain recommendations of solutions to modify standard practices, equipment, devices, processes, and techniques and resolve a wide variety of complex problems. NOTE: Due to the use of 120-day rosters, this period of experience may be completed within 120 days of the closing date of this announcement.
Ideal Candidate:
Desired skills include:
1. Knowledge of concepts, principles, and techniques across multiple interrelated and integrated technical and test engineering disciplines applied to human-in-the-loop simulators of advanced aircraft weapon systems (4th, 5th gen and beyond). Ability to apply advanced RF, IR and communications expertise to develop and operate test events for complex integrated live, virtual and constructive battlespace test events.
2. Technical knowledge of combat aircraft avionics, armament, electronic warfare systems, and related subsystems, including mission planning systems and procedures. Technical knowledge of air surveillance, early warning, target tracking, and target engagement radars; electronic warfare techniques and countermeasures; and IR tracking, jamming and countermeasure capabilities.
3. Technical knowledge of RF and IR waveform emissions; ability to incorporate emissions properties into various virtual and constructive simulation models.
4. Knowledge of combat air vehicles, EO/IR/RF weapons & sensors, EW, and signature management with respect to operational flight test planning, execution, and data reduction. Proficient in flight test conduct, coordination, supervision, and data analysis/evaluation as compared with applicable truth sources and model data. Experienced in technical report generation and administrative aspects of flight test programs. Skilled in the use of a variety of computer applications and software, to include high fidelity simulators, sufficient to meet desired test objectives and demonstrate/employ flying procedures and maneuvers in mission training and test events.
5. Ability to plan and organize work, coordinate between various electrical/electronic/aerospace/mechanical engineering and test disciplines; coordinate with USAF, USN, DOD, other federal government agencies, and defense contractors. Ability to research, analyze, interpret, and apply rules, regulations, and procedures to a variety of situations and to recommend accurate, timely, and economical solutions.
6. Ability to maintain good working relations and to provide technical leadership and project management oversight and communicate effectively with a broad range of personnel both orally and in writing and to use modern computer software applications in support of communications and presentations.
PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week.
VOLUNTEER WORK EXPERIENCE: Refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service Programs (i.e., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student and social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge and skills that can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
Education
Basic Requirements 0855: A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
OR
B. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:
1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1 , or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all inclusive.)
