Qualification Summary

To qualify for an Electronics Engineer, your resume and supporting documentation must support: A. Basic Education Requirement: 1. Bachelor's Degree or higher in Professional Engineering. To be acceptable, the curriculum must: (a) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum or (b) 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: (1)statics, dynamics; (2)strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (3)fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (4)thermodynamics; (5)electrical fields and circuits; (6)nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (7)any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR 2. Combination of education and experience: College-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (a) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (b) 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: Professional registration -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. 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.) AND B. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position, and that is in or related to the work of this position. To qualify at the GS-07 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-05 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-09 level,applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-07 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience - must be equivalent to the GS-09 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service,military, or private sector. To qualify at the GS-12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Applicants who meet the basic requirements described above are fully qualified for the specified entry grade described below with the applicable creditable specialized experience: GS-07: Collecting technical information. Assisting higher graded engineers in evaluating engineering drawings, blueprints and specifications. Assisting in a portion of a larger engineering project. GS-09: Analyzing technical engineering problems. Performing and executing specific portions of engineering projects. Conducting studies and analyses of specific issues or specialty areas within an engineering discipline. Assisting in the research of engineering issues on a wide variety of mechanical and/or electronic items. GS-11: Analyzing and studying engineering and technical performance requirements for reliability and maintainability. Designing, developing, operating, maintaining, and disposing of mechanical and/or electronic devices and systems and their equipment and/or components. Analyzing material properties and/or electronic designs to ensure that mechanical devices and/or electronic controls and systems function safely, reliably, efficiently, and economically. Analyzing and evaluating engineering change proposals. GS-12: Serving as a project manager on engineering/value management documentation projects. Performing extensive design and manufacturing analysis. Testing and evaluating a variety of mechanical and/or electronic components. Conducting a systematic and objective inquiry, including collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, and reporting results. Ensuring that mechanical and/or electronic components, projects, or systems meet technical requirements and standards. OR C. Education Substitution: Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work. Education must be from a college or university accredited by an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education. Seehttp://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx. If using education to meet basic qualifications, YOU MUST SUBMIT A TRANSCRIPT as supplemental documentation.
