ELECTRONICS ENGINEER

You will serve as an ELECTRONICS (ELECTRICAL) ENGINEER within the F18 Fleet Support Team (FST) Engineering Division of FLEET READINESS CENTER SOUTHWEST. You will manage engineering workload, plan, coordinate, conduct and provide extensive in-service engineering expertise while leading a wide array of complex Avionics and Electrical engineering projects. You will lead a team of individuals to identify, plan, evaluate and prescribe corrective action for avionics systems, electrical propulsion and power systems, support equipment, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), and/or Test Program Set (TPS). You will identify continually changing and competing demands and take appropriate planning action to ensure all demands are satisfied. You will coordinate technical research of the most serious and complex avionics engineering issues, which usually requires many technical fields and engineering/scientific disciplines. You will apply a thorough knowledge of a variety of standard guides, precedents, methods, techniques, and practices as well as innovative processes in order to provide team guidance in resolving electronic or in-service engineering problems. You will lead, coordinate and/or participate in meetings and conferences convened to discuss avionics and electrical engineering issues, problems, design, development of new and/or upgraded avionics systems, and other similar matters. You will provide technical professional expertise and oversight to ensure the latest advancements in engineering technology are considered and implemented in work planning. You will lead assigned team to assure products /services are delivered on schedule, within budgeted cost and in accordance with technical requirements. You will work with IPT Leaders and/or Project Manager Leads to determine team resources required to provide products and services to the customer, including funding, personnel resources, facilities and projected requirements for new projects. Your resume must demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the (GS-12) grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: 1) demonstrating knowledge of Avionics/Electrical in-service fleet support and/or Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) 2) managing engineering resources to plan and coordinate technical teams and/or projects 3) analyzing F18 avionics/electrical related issues and drafting in-service engineering technical products. 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.
