General Engineer (Open Continuous/Direct Hire Announcement)
BASIC
Qualifications:
In order be eligible for the position of General Engineer (Open Continuous/Direct Hire Announcement), (GS-0801-11/12/13), you must meet the following requirements A.Degree:
Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must:
(1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by 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)1 , 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. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) 2 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. 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 the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. 4. 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 bachelor's 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. (The above examples of related curricula are not all inclusive.) MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS:
For further consideration for the General Engineer, GS-0801-11/12/13, in addition to the basic education requirement listed above, you must meet the following requirements for each grade level for which you wished to be considered. TO QUALIFY FOR THE GS-11 A. Have one year of specialized experience, equivalent to the GS-09 grade level in the Federal service:
preparing, presenting, and/or defending findings on scientific research. Provide consultation to industry, academic and private laboratory scientists. Review scientific data and determine project technical needs. OR B. Three years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. in a related field. OR C. Have a combination of experience as described in A above and graduate education as described in B above. When combining education with experience, first determine the applicant's total qualifying education as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; then determine the applicant's experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; finally, add the two percentages. The total percentage must equal at least 100 percent to qualify. TO QUALIFY FOR THE GS-12:
Have one year of specialized experience, equivalent to the GS-11 grade level in the Federal service:
Evaluate the accuracy, precision, and/or reliability of proposed medical devices and/or radiological products. Collaborate with other scientists, engineers, healthcare professionals within an organization/agency on a wide range of scientific and regulatory issues. Review scientific data and determine project technical needs related to medical devices and/or radiological products. TO QUALIFY FOR THE GS-13:
Have one year of specialized experience, equivalent to the GS-12 grade level in the Federal service:
Advise on compliance and regulatory policy developments and/or implementation of activities related to medical devices and/or radiological products. Prepare and present briefings related to medical devices and/or radiological products to senior level management and recommend program enhancements. Develops, modifies, and/or evaluates guidelines concerning data required in proposed medical devices and/or radiological products. In accordance with Office of Personnel Management policy, federal employees are assumed to have gained experience by performing duties and responsibilities appropriate for their official series and grade level as described in their position description. Experience that would not normally be part of the employee's position is creditable, however, when documented by satisfactory evidence, such as a signed memorandum from the employee's supervisor or an SF-50 or SF-52 documenting an official detail or other official assignment. The documentation must indicate whether the duties were performed full time or, if part time, the percentage of times the other duties were performed. It is expected that this documentation is included in the employee's official personnel record. In order to receive credit for experience in your resume that is not within the official series and grade level of your official position, you must provide a copy of the appropriate documentation of such experience as indicated above. PHS Commissioned Corps Officers interested in performing the duties of this position within the Commissioned Corps may apply through this announcement. Candidates will be referred as Commissioned Corps personnel and not as candidates for conversion to a permanent career or career-conditional appointment. All qualification requirements must be met by 11:
59 pm (Eastern Time) on 09/20/2019. If, after reviewing your resume and/or supporting documentation, a determination is made that you have inflated your responses when compared to your background information, you may be deemed ineligible or your score may be adjusted to more accurately reflect your skills and abilities.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
