Qualifications

In order to qualify, you must meet the quality level of experience requirements described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards Handbook X-118C. QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants will be rated in accordance with the OPM Qualification Standard Handbook X-118C for the ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Family. Although a specific length of time and experience is not required for most blue-collar positions, you must meet any screen-out element listed, and show through experience and training that you possess the quality level of knowledge and skill necessary to perform the duties of the position at the level for which you are applying. Qualification requirements emphasis is on the quality of experience, not necessarily the length of time. The screen out element for this position is the ability to do the work of an ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS MECHANIC without more than normal supervision. JOB ELEMENTS: Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas: Knowledge of operating electronic principles such as circuit elements, digital logic, microprocessors, core memory, interface circuits, digital data transmission, microwave, antennas, signal behavior, amplification, and display to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain malfunctions, in complex electronic systems consisting of numerous complex integral components and where circuit theory must be used to understand the operation of individual circuits, and the possible interaction of other circuits which create malfunction. Knowledge of electronic theory and circuits and basic logic circuits for power, timing, and motion controls, indicating and counting mechanisms, similar devices and a variety of technical data, such as schematics, diagrams, and technical orders relating to the electronics trade Comprehensive knowledge of the operation, capabilities, and limitations of complex integrated electronic systems complicated by a variety of multi-component assemblies and devices. Knowledge of related electrical, mechanical, optical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems. Knowledge of safety, environmental, and security regulations, practices, and procedures. Knowledge of codes, regulations, procedures, and policies related to records maintenance and documentation. Skill to interpret electronics drawings, specifications, and schematics of complex operating systems such as a new data transmission system with analog-to-digital converters, pulse generators, multiplexers, timing circuits, microwave transmitters and receivers, and similar involved subunits which create and use many interlocking signals. Skill in troubleshooting complex electronic systems that lack documentation and to assist engineers in the development of technical orders using reverse engineering procedures. Skill in the use of hand and power tools of the electronics trade to include a variety of electronic, electrical, or electromechanical test and measurement equipment. Ability to use theoretical concepts to devise solutions for operating or repair problems on systems in which novel engineering approaches have created unforeseen problems Skill in the set up and operation of computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE) and test stands, oscilloscopes (dual trace, storage, digitized), spectrum, network and distortion analyzers, frequency counters, and signal generators; in interpreting complex drawings, specifications, and schematics of complete multi-system complexes, numerous interconnections of signal paths both between and within individual subsystems of the multi­ system complex; and in troubleshooting, installing. repairing, and maintaining electronic integrated multi-systems where circuit theory must be used to understand the operation of a large number of circuits and functions, and the interaction of subsystems which create malfunctions Ability to follow drawings for multi-system complexes of numerous integrated systems, to trace the effect of a change in one subsystem to other integrated subsystems and determine which controls and devices must be changed or adjusted to compensate; and to repair, align, and adjust complete multi-systems whose functions are performed by numerous system that are extensively interconnected with data feedback loops. Ability in working with new or complex systems that have frequent engineering changes using theoretical concepts to devise solutions to improvise alignment, repair and operating procedures PHYSICAL EFFORT: Work assignments require moderate physical effort. Mechanics frequently lift, carry, or otherwise handle items weighing up to 18 kilograms (40 pounds). Occasionally they handle items greater than 18 kilograms. Assistance is usually available with heavy items. They work in a sitting position for extended periods. Frequent standing, walking, bending, crouching, reaching, and stooping are required. Occasionally, climbing and working in high places may be required. WORKING CONDITIONS: Work is usually performed inside in well-lighted, heated, and ventilated areas. When equipment is fixed in place it is sometimes necessary to work in warehouse or industrial areas exposed to loud noises, heat or cold, fumes, etc. Mechanics are subject to injuries such as electric shock, cuts and bruises, as well as burns caused by electrical energy or soldering irons. PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week. VOLUNTEER WORK EXPERIENCE: Refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service Programs (i.e., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student and social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge and skills that can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
