Duties

Responsible for the research and development of motion control systems as related to electro-optical sensing systems utilizing gimbals, autonomy algorithms, driving cameras, and acquisition systems. This position falls within the Robotic Urban Ground Sensors Branch for the Ground Combat Systems Division at C5ISR. Our branch is the premier organization within C5ISR center for the development of feasibility demonstrator systems for vehicle platforms in need of advanced sensing technologies. Self-motivated, entrepreneurial individual contributor with 5 or more years of experience in multifunction sensor implementation. Lead and mentor a small team of engineers in the design and integration of control systems for unmanned robots and 360-degree camera architecture onto mobile ground platforms. Experience in the open systems architecture, mirrors and other optical feedback loops is required to qualify for this position. Responsible for complete research and development programs that are so broad and complex they frequently must be further divided into manageable segments. Assignments may include research problems, which have been recognized as critical obstacles to overcome or developments in areas of exceptional interest. Carries out advanced applied research and development activities involving pioneering work of outstanding scope, difficulty, and complexity in unexplored or heretofore unpromising areas of investigation. Conceives, plans, and conducts projects considered to be of primary importance in achieving new concepts, configurations and performance characteristics that may result in establishing new theories and a deeper understanding of phenomena. Serve on special task forces and committees involving development of new programs, evaluation of various proposals, long-range planning, evaluation of highly controversial issues, or investigation of critical difficulties.

Qualifications

This position is being filled under the Direct Hire Authority (DHA) for Bachelor's Degree for Scientific and Engineering Positions (STRLs) authorized by 85 FR 78829 dtd 12/07/2020. Who May Apply: US Citizens In order to qualify, you must meet the education and or experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social). You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: is defined as one year of experience equivalent to the DB-02 pay band (GS-11 grade level or higher equivalency) in the Federal Service which includes experience in 1) Performing engineering lifecycle activities or research/development to facilitate the procurement of products, goods and/or services needed to meet program/project requirements; 2) Analyzing engineering/scientific data for use in program/project improvement and/or troubleshooting; and 3) Leading/participating on an engineering/scientific program or project. Basic Requirement for Engineer: A. Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must:(1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher degree) 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. 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), 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 ratedeligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.2. Written Test - 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, or Puerto Rico.3. 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 A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program.. 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 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. Basic Requirement for Computer Scientist: Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in computer science or bachelor's degree (or higher degree) with 30 semester hours in a combination of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. At least 15 of the 30 semester hours must have included any combination of statistics and mathematics that included differential and integral calculus.

Education

FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
