There may or may not be actual vacancies filled from this flyer. Notice of Result letters will not be sent to applicants who respond to this flyer. Responsibilities You will review and identify new scientific and technological concepts and findings in their infancy and evaluate their relevance, feasibility and future applicability. You will continually assess the importance of science and technology trends and innovations. You will conceive, organize, and execute science and technology programs that respond to evolving needs. You will participate in group endeavors involving many interested parties and perspectives to help establish the technical viability of the concepts under consideration. You will formulate tasks allocating resources to meet program objectives, provide necessary documentation, justification, and procurement materials, establish priorities and milestones, select performers, and monitor progress of individual projects. You will be aware of relevant science and technology in the U.S. and worldwide. Requirements Conditions of Employment Qualifications Your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the 11/13 grade level or NP-03 pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector performing most or all of the specialized experience: 1) Mastery of advanced principles and practices of professional engineering with particular expertise in at least three of the following specific disciplines: electronics engineering, naval aeronautical or aerospace engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, mathematics, systems engineering, materials engineering, or weapon system engineering to investigate, evaluate, and advise on the entire range of assigned advanced technologies and applications; 2) Extensive professional knowledge and experience in the performance of research and development efforts in naval air and surface vehicle systems engineering to advise on the formulation, execution, evaluation, and coordination of Navy plans for the integration of specified advanced defensive electronic warfare technologies into aircraft and ships; 3) Broad knowledge and experience in applying technical knowledge to complex platform-related defensive electronic warfare technology development, integration, testing, manufacture, operational support, and cost considerations; 4) Experience in systems integration issues on aviation programs with specific expertise in the integration of low observable technologies and payloads with aircraft and UAVs; 5) Knowledge of and skill on the use of modern scientific and engineering techniques, theories and test procedures in airborne weapon systems; and 6) A broad understanding of related sciences and disciplines to serve as a technical authority for integrating advanced technologies. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/general-engineering-series-0801/ Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. Education Basic Education Requirement: 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) Additional Information This position is covered by the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program. Several vacancies may be filled. A tentative offer of employment will be rescinded if the selectee fails to meet the pre-employment requirements, including failure to report to any of the scheduled appointments.
