SUPV ELECTRICAL ENGINEER

You will serve as a SUPERVISORY ELECTRICAL ENGINEER in the Electric Power Systems Engineering Division (SEA 05Z3) in the Marine Engineering Group (SEA 05Z) located in the Naval Systems Engineering and Logistics Directorate (SEA 05) of NAVSEA HQ FIELD SUPPORT. You will provide leadership and stewardship, strategic planning, engineering direction and management, workforce and workload supervision, and resource development and allocation decision-making for the Electric Power Systems Engineering Division. You will direct/manage the overall development efforts for major Navy program assignments and in-service fleet support that require the application of scientific and systems engineering theories, concepts, and principles. You will be responsible for electrical analysis and design of Naval ships/submarines. You will be responsible for generation support, concept studies, preliminary and contract design, development of major Shipalts, major modernizations, conversions and repairs, development advanced analytical methods, conversions and repairs. You will perform special studies and will participate in special project teams located in any part of the Naval Sea Systems Command, and act as the Navy's authoritative expert in the professional field. You will consult with Ship Design/ Program Mgrs, Technical Warrant Holders, Deputy Warranting Officers, Chief Engineer, Program Executive Office, Portfolio Acquisition Executives and Direct Reporting Program Mgrs, Naval Reactors, and top officials. You will plan future engineering aspects of program development, deployment, operation and maintenance. You will advise on application of state of the art thermodynamics, electrical and other physical, mathematical and engineering sciences to problems concerned with the production, transmission, measurement and use of energy. You will plan/conduct investigations, risk assessments, analyses/design modifications of subsystems/equipment for facilities, systems, equipment/instruments, transmission measurement, control/use of electrical power/ integrated power systems. You will evaluate factors affecting system performance characteristics, e.g., electrical power generation, distribution and storage, electrical engineering aspects associated with production and distribution. You will review and evaluate the possible overall effect more critical changes (in equipment, operation, and maintenance) will have on a product. You will advise Fleet, SECNAV, OPNAV, NAVSEA, and field activities on difficult or controversial matters, such as modifying systems to meet new, demanding performance requirements. You will advise on how to deal with new theories of technologies for which no precedent exists, plan for future system expansion, or cope with emergencies. You will represent NAVSEA as the agency's authoritative officer for reaching engineering compromises and agreements with management and engineers inside/outside of NAVSEA as well as contractors. In addition to the basic education requirement, your resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower level pay band, NH-03 (GS-13 Equivalent), in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector as a professional engineer managing engineering projects on the design, development, operation, maintenance, or sustainment of shipboard electrical systems (e.g. generators, power converters, transformers, power electronic drives, propulsion motors, electrical actuators, energy storage, batteries, electro-chemical energy storage, circuit protectin (circuit breakers, arc fault detectors), switchboards, cables and cableways, lighting, and/or motors and controllers) for surface ships or submarines. 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=List-by-Occupational-Series AND https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards/0800/files/all-professional-engineering-positions-0800.pdf 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. Applicants must meet the following basic education requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards Manual: Successful completion of a professional engineering degree. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (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. Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position. OR 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 more information about EI and EIT registration requirements, please visit the National Society of Professional Engineers website at: http://www.nspe.org OR 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 The FE examination is not administered by the U. S. Office of Personnel Management. For more information, please visit: http://www.nspe.org/Licensure/HowtoGetLicensed/index.html. OR Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A (above). The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A (above) OR 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 one 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.
