Requirements:



ASSESSMENT FACTORS

1. Demonstrates advanced proficiency and knowledge in assigned scientific or technology area; remains abreast of advanced developments and incorporates knowledge into analytic products.
2. Demonstrates excellent oral and written communication skills to compose and deliver responses to complex questions in a clear,
concise, and organized manner.
3. Facilitates the development of more integrated solutions by engaging and actively working with others who have unique but
relevant expertise.
4. Experience leading to an understanding of guidance, navigation, or control technologies and applications.
5. Experience in the design, testing, or analysis of inertial navigation systems and/or SATNAV receivers.

HIGHLY DESIRED SKILLS


1. Experience with Radio Frequency theory/technology to include radar, antennas, and/or datalinks.
2. Experience with modeling and simulation to include hardware-in-the-loop simulation environments/methods.
3. Computer programming ability, specifically using Matlab or Python.

A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year 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)1, 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)2 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.

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.

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.)

Note: An applicant who meets the basic requirements as specified in A or B above, except as
noted under B.1., may qualify for positions in any branch of engineering unless selective factors
indicate otherwise.

Additional Experience and Training Provisions for Graduates of Engineering Programs:
a. Superior academic achievement at the baccalaureate level in an engineering program is qualifying for GS-7.
b. A combination of superior academic achievement and 1 year of appropriate professional experience is qualifying at GS-9.
c. Applicants with an engineering bachelor’s degree who have appropriate experience as a technician equivalent to grade GS-5 or higher may have such experience credited for grade GS-7 only on a month-for-month basis up to a maximum of 12 months.
d. Successful completion of a 5-year program of study of at least 160 semester hours leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering is qualifying at GS-7. Completion of such a program and 1 year of appropriate professional experience is qualifying at grade GS-9

Graduate Education:
1. Regardless of the field of undergraduate study, completion of the requirements for a master’s or higher degree in engineering is fully qualifying for the grade indicated, provided the applicant’s total background, i.e., education and any experience, demonstrates evidence of knowledge, skills, and abilities that are substantially equivalent to those acquired through the successful completion of the courses specified in paragraph A.
2. With a bachelor’s degree in engineering, graduate education in a related field is acceptable in lieu of graduate study in engineering for appropriate types of positions. For example, a Bachelor of Science in engineering plus a master’s degree in business administration would be qualifying for Industrial Engineer, GS-9, but not for GS-9laboratory positions in research and development. The key consideration in determining if such graduate education should be credited is whether or not the education provided the knowledges, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the work of the position being filled.
