Qualifications

This position is being filled under the Direct Hire Authority (DHA) Bachelors 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. Qualified candidates must meet the Basic Requirement for the Interdisciplinary position. In addition to meeting the Basic Requirement, applicants must have one year of specialized experience at the DB-03 (GS-12 grade level or higher equivalency). Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade or band is required. It is defined as one year of specialized experience equivalent to the DB-03 pay band (GS-12 equivalent or higher) in the Federal Service that includes 1) Experience applying engineering concepts and providing technical advice in the development of collection techniques, signal processing and/or exploitation of Signals Intelligence/Electronic Intelligence products; 2) Experience working on projects that involves the development or testing of Radio Frequency Sensors/Receivers or the signal and data processing of Radio Frequency Sensors/receivers 3) Experience in concept of operations utilizing SIGINT/ELINT and/or Electronic Warfare; and 4) Experience maintaining customer relations with internal and external stakeholders. 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 rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. 2.
