MECHANICAL ENGINEER

You will serve as a MECHANICAL ENGINEER in the COMBAT SYSTEMS DIVISION, ENGINEERING & PLANNING DEPARTMENT (c290) of PEARL HARBOR NSY AND IMF. You will provide technical direction for engineering requirements on surface ship/submarine combat systems for all non-nuclear support work. You will troubleshoot specific Combat Systems equipment, which may require circuit analysis. You will provide technical direction, guidance and assistance in the development and implementation of shipyard training programs as required to support accomplishment of cognizant non-nuclear work on surface ship/submarine combat systems components. You will conduct independent engineering studies, investigations, research, and analysis for the solution of unusual or unprecedented engineering problems or in support of short and long-term engineering projects on assigned ships. You will act as a lead/oversight troubleshooter in the identification and resolution of problems encountered during installation, grooming, or testing phases of waterfront production efforts. You will develop technical risk assessments, recommendations and accomplish other required actions to address planned and emergent issues on assigned ships. You will translate customer work scopes for alterations, repairs, and conversions, when not prepared by the Design Agent, into Task Group Instructions, preparing man day and material cost estimates. You will assist the Project Team with the solution of problems developing in connection with Task Group Instructions, Deficiency logs, work task, estimates and material. Your resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector as a professional engineer in a lead position as a technical advisor providing technical guidance and field engineering services to ensure proper installation, modification, overhaul, and operation as related to depot and/or intermediate level (D-Level and/or I-Level) maintenance of cognizant combat systems associated with US Navy ships, primarily fast attack submarines. An expert with technical references and I-Level project management tools (MSE apps, eFORMS, etc.) used to accomplish work; proficient in developing knowledge, skills, and abilities in others through coaching and mentoring. Has completed the Lead Engineer Development Card per CSD SOP 02 (or equivalent), is SUBSAFE qualified per N/S 0924-062-0010, designated as 2nd reviewer & SUBSAFE Technical Point of Contact (SSTPOC) within a combat systems AOR. 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.
