Job Description

Summary

This job is for an electrical engineer working with the Defense Information Systems Agency at a military base in Washington, D.C., focusing on communications systems for the White House.

It involves applying engineering principles to design, maintain, and improve secure electrical and electronic systems in a high-stakes defense environment.

A good fit would be someone with a strong engineering background, practical experience in electrical fields, and the ability to handle sensitive government work.

Key Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program, or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Knowledge of electrical fields and circuits, including advanced physics and mathematics like calculus
  • Professional registration as a Professional Engineer (PE), Engineer in Training (EIT), or successful passage of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam
  • At least one year of professional engineering experience under supervision if using a related scientific degree
  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain security clearance for Department of Defense work
  • Experience in engineering sciences such as statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, or thermodynamics

Full Job Description

This position is in the Professional Work Category at the Senior Work Level within the CES Occupational Structure.

This position is for DISA White House Communications Agency at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, District of Columbia.

This is an Excepted Service position and does not confer eligibility to be converted to the Competitive Service.

If you are a current Federal Career/Career-Conditional employee, you will be placed on an Excepted appointment under 10 U.S.C. 1599f.

In order to qualify for this position, you must meet the requirements described below. Basic Requirements: 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.) Note: An applicant who meets the basic requirements as specified in A or B above, except as noted under B.1., may qualify for positions in any branch of engineering unless selective factors indicate otherwise.

Qualifying Experience: To qualify at the GG-14 grade level, your resume must describe at least one year of experience that demonstrates the competencies necessary for immediate success in the position.

Experience refers to any paid or unpaid experience, including volunteer work and Military service, that would be considered equivalent to work normally performed at the next lower grade level in the federal service.

For this position, qualifying experience is defined as: Experience managing electrical engineering projects for facilities, such as project design or programming, construction oversight, or contractor performance.

Candidates must describe how they meet the qualifying experience and/or selective placement factor(s) within the body of their resume.

All qualifications must be met within 30 days after the closing date of this announcement.

Additionally, prior to reporting for duty the selectee must be found eligible for a DoD Top Secret security clearance with access to Special Compartmented Information (SCI) based upon an Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI), AND be approved for Presidential Support Duty in accordance with Department of Defense Directive 5210.55 (Yankee White - Category II, minimum).

This is an Excepted Service position and does not confer eligibility to be converted to the Competitive Service.

If you are a current Federal Career/Career-Conditional employee, you will be placed on an Excepted appointment under 10 U.S.C. 1599f. Major Duties:

  • Receives all facility maintenance requests, and emergency service calls. Issues work orders to appropriate organization for work accomplishment.
  • Analyzes and designs electrical alterations and modifications to existing facilities to meet the ever-changing demands of the agency.
  • Develops statements of work and other documents necessary to support contract solicitation from various contracting agencies.
  • Develops short- and long-range facilities and infrastructure priorities and requirements.
  • Reviews/approves/schedules and coordinates utility outages (power, water, natural gas) with facility users and utility providers.
