Your resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the ND-3 pay band (GS-9 through GS-11 equivalency) in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector.

Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: As a professional engineer designing electrical schematics, circuit board layout, electrically small antennas; completing low power RF analysis; and/or developing embedded code for microprocessors.

Examples of qualifying experience may include (1) analog/digital circuit design, embedded microcontroller design, and compact antenna design and integration; (2) performing engineering analysis, design, development, and test for embedded hardware products; (3) experience using schematic capture and PCB layout software (Altium).

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/#url=GS-PROF Individual Occupational Requirements (IOR): All Professional Engineering Positions, 08XX 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. Major Duties:

• You will serve as a journey-level electrical or electronics engineer for the Triton Fury Program in the Asymmetric Systems Division, Special Systems Branch (Code H12) of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division.
• You will contribute to the development of rapid engineering solutions to emergent non-conventional threats, specializing in turning high level requirements into engineering designs that integrate microelectronics with novel fabrication techniques.
• You will analyze and refine requirements and alternative solutions by research and investigation, identification of risk, and cost benefit analysis.
• You will make early technical decisions based on trade space and requirements regarding microprocessor selection, electrical design, embedded coding, and implementation of functionality.
• You will conduct research, development, test, and integration of custom embedded systems and special communications capabilities.
• You will design custom electrical circuits, RF receivers, and antenna designs, and integrate these designs into customized mechanical packages for long service life in harsh environments.
• You will perform analog/digital circuit design, embedded microcontroller design, and compact antenna design and integration.
• You will perform modeling of circuits, schematic capture, PCB layout, and circuit assembly/fabrication techniques.
• You will develop documentation of final solutions and adhere to program configuration management processes.
• You will participate in and lead developmental and verification testing, including extensive electromagnetic and environmental testing of electrical and RF design prototypes to enable rapid response to emergent Navy requirements.
• You will present technical status and decisions during design reviews.
• You will evaluate processes and procedures to identify efficiencies and enhance solutions by increasing quality, reducing cost, and/or increasing technical performance.
• You will provide peer review of colleague designs.
• You will mentor and train junior electrical engineers by providing technical and programmatic insight and guidance.
