The primary purpose of this position is to serve as a first level supervisor to nonsupervisory employees responsible for Flight Level Engineering Assignments.

Experience requirements are described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions, Group Coverage Qualification Standard for Science and Engineering.

Basic Qualification Requirement: You must meet one of the following qualification requirements by the closing date and provide documentation to support your qualifications: A.

Degree: Have a Bachelor's Degree in professional engineering from a curriculum (1) in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineer curriculum; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (beyond 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), 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) 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.) SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: Applicants must have at least one (1) year of specialized experience at the next lower broadband NH-02or equivalent to the next lower grade GS-11 in the Federal Service.

Specialized experience is described as a) applying fundamental and diversified professional engineering concepts, theories, and practices to achieve engineering objectives with versatility, judgment, and perception; (b) adapt and apply methods and techniques of related scientific disciplines; and (c) organize, analyze, interpret, and evaluate scientific data in the solution of engineering problems as well as performing multidisciplinary professional engineering work, applying a number of diverse engineering practices, techniques, and processes in the field of engineering to perform work involving the application of electronics, mechanical, aerospace, and/or other engineering disciplines.

Ideal Candidate: The ideal candidate will have significant technical experience in test support, with demonstrated experience in Asset Management and Sustainment for large industrial plant facilities with complex mechanical systems, instrumentation, data acquisition, and controls systems.

They will be familiar with Fitness for Service Assessments, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) to support asset availability and meet the operational demands of the Test Group.

With a foundation in Systems Engineering principles and System Safety best practices, the candidate will be capable of operating with a high degree of independence to promote technical quality and maintain compliance.

A strong working knowledge of ASME and NEC standards is important for making informed decisions that support effective technical integrity and safety for all Flight maintenance and sustainment activities.

A cornerstone of this role is strong leadership and interpersonal skill. The ideal candidate will be a dedicated mentor, focused on developing the capabilities of their team members.

They will excel at building collaborative relationships within the Flight and across the Squadron, fostering a positive team environment that thrives on communication and mutual support to achieve shared mission objectives KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas: 1.

Knowledge of the theories, concepts, principles, practices, standards, methods, techniques, and materials of multidisciplinary professional engineering to effectively apply engineering theories, principles, and concepts to areas of responsibility.

2. Knowledge of the principles of planning, program management, and standard acquisition regulations, practices, and procedures. 3.

Knowledge of safety, security, personnel management, and EEO regulations, practices, and procedures. 4.

Ability to plan, organize, and direct the functions and mentor, motivate, and appraise the staff of an organization. 5.

Ability to research, evaluate, interpret, and apply rules, regulations, and procedures to a variety of situations and to recommend timely and economical solutions. 6.

Ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and with technical accuracy, both orally and in writing, as well as work in a professional manner with peers, management, contractors, academia, and other agencies.

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.
