Clearance Jobs
Mechanical Engineering Position
You will provide engineering direction such as preparation, review and approval of Technical Work Documents and administrative documents in support of propulsor measurement process and procedures. You will instruct engineers and technicians in specific tasks and job techniques, ensuring the quality of engineering work generated by lower grade technical staff. You will ensure that measurement process complies with all the customer inspection point requirements and all associated certification documentation is complete prior to shipment. You will maintain a close working relationship with production personnel and resolve technical problems identified during the production phase. Conditions Of Employment
Must be a US Citizen. Must be determined suitable for federal employment. Must participate in the direct deposit pay program. New employees to the Department of the Navy will be required to successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check. To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov. Generally, current federal employees applying for GS jobs must serve at least one year at the next lower grade level. This requirement is called time-in-grade. Time-in-grade requirements must be met by the closing date of this announcement. Within the Department of Defense (DoD), the appointment of retired military members within 180 days immediately following retirement date to a civilian position is subject to the provisions of 5 United States Code 3326. Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered for Selective Service. This is a bargaining unit position. You will be required to obtain and maintain an interim and/or final security clearance prior to entrance on duty. Failure to obtain and maintain the required level of clearance may result in the withdrawal of a job offer or removal. You will be required to wear personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, coveralls, glasses, goggles, respirators and safety shoes continuously for the duration of the work shift. This position may require travel from normal duty station to CONUS and OCONUS and may include remote or isolated sites. You must be able to travel on military and commercial aircraft for extended periods of time. 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: Experience applying advanced theories, concepts, and principles in mechanical engineering. Experience directing, controlling, monitoring, interpreting, and seeking resolution on all matters pertaining to the effective conduct of production and engineering practices. Experience applying expert professional knowledge of engineering concepts, theories, principles, practices and techniques related to the highly specialized field of machining, measurement and certification of propulsor castings and fabrications. Experience interpreting and evaluating engineering drawings/specifications/technical data packages. Experience executing and understanding results of all hydro and non-hydro analyses programs and reports generated by third party suppliers supporting NFPC. Experience generating macro driven analyses and reporting programs with respect to point cloud closest-point-of-approach comparisons to CAD model surfaces. Experience implementing expert understanding and application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances. Experience using large scale measurement applications, measuring components and building complex assemblies. Experience generating certification data for machined components and complex assemblies Experience leading a team with respect to the generation of certification data Experience working directly with NFPC Customers and vendors including but not limited to NAVSEA, Electric Boat, PTI, Propulsor Tech Warrant Holders, Carderock and associated First Tier Suppliers. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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.
