Requirements
Conditions of Employment Qualifications
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: Demonstrating engineering theory and application related to contract proposal evaluations and providing technical counsel. Performing assessments of contractor's technical performance on specific ongoing contracts in order to predict acceptability of technical performance, cost and schedule deviations, development of life cycle cost estimates, and development of independent program engineering and/or cost estimates and analyses for major and non-major systems. Performing proposal evaluation and source selection on spares, repairable, and Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) procurement. Analyzing contractor performance data including systems engineering, software engineering, manufacturing engineering, supply chain management, industrial analysis, and performance for cost trends. Performing engineering-based cost and/or price analyses for development and production systems often involving state-of-the-art engineering and manufacturing techniques. Coordinating with other Commands and program managers to review shared processes in order to identify areas for potential improvement and cost initiatives.

Professional Engineering Positions . 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. Education 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:
