This is a public notice flyer to notify interested applicants of anticipated vacancies. Applications will not be accepted through this flyer. Interested applicants must follow the directions in the "How to Apply" section of this flyer to be considered. 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. You will determine engineering adequacy of electrical shipboard systems as shown on cabling, block, schematic diagrams, and on arrangements, wiring table, wire way arrangement/routing, electrical hull fittings design/installation, and vendor drawings You will recommend improvements in design, operation, or methods to be used in fabrication and testing of electrical shipboard systems. You will evaluate replacements and upgrades of electrical systems and components for performance impact, where the work assignments are often difficult and complex due to the interrelationship between submarine systems. You will perform contractor surveillance of electrical systems by reviewing, evaluating, and/or recommending changes for nuclear powered ships or submarines under design, construction, overhaul, or repair. You will ensure compliance with contractual requirements governing design, installation and testing of electrical systems on assigned ship classes, ships under-going construction, Post Shakedown Availability (PSA) and availabilities. You will review and resolve design modifications, installation deficiencies, test failures, material failures, and test forms. You will facilitate the identification and mitigation of design, construction and program risks. You will perform calculations in the analysis of contractor prepared designs, improvements and problem resolution for electrical systems/components. You will act as the Electrical/Electronic Division sea trial observer and coordinate gathering information on test conduct, equipment causalities and other subjects to be submitted in report form to the incumbent's supervisor at trial completion. Your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the next lower pay band (GS-11) in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: Experience as a professional engineer providing technical advice, guidance, or recommendations for the design, installation or testing of electrical/electronic systems, equipment, or components for ship or submarine construction efforts. 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=Occupational-SeriesElectrical Engineering Series, 0850 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 positive education qualifications 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.
