Qualification Summary

To qualify for an Electronics Engineer your resume and supporting documentation must support: A.Basic Education Requirements: 1.Degree: professional engineering. To be acceptable, the curriculum must: (1) be in a school of engineeringwith at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) asa professional engineering curriculum; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (moreadvanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science orphysics: (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 (relatingparticle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineeringscience or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics OR, 2.Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experiencethat furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying professionalengineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences andtechniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background mustbe demonstrated by one of the following: a.Professional registration -- Current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the Districtof 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. b.Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination,or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Applicants who have passed the EIT examination and have completed all the requirements for either (a) a bachelor's degree in engineering technology (BET) from an accredited college of university that included 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences, or (b) a BET from a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) may be rated eligible for certain engineering positions at GS-7. Eligibility is limited to positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of the engineering technology program. Applicants for positions that involve highly technical research, development, or similar functions requiring an advanced level of competence in basic science must meet the basic requirements in paragraph 1.Because of the diversity in kind and quality of BET programs, graduates of other BET programs are required to complete at least 1 year of additional education or highly technical work experience of such nature as to provide reasonable assurance of the possession of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for professional engineering competence. The adequacy of this background must be demonstrated by passing the EIT examination. c.Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in thephysical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A. d.Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree inengineering technology or in an appropriate professional field, e.g., 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. (The above examples of related curricula are not all-inclusive.) B. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to perform successfully the duties of the position, and that is in or related to the work of this position. To qualify at the GS-09 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-07 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-09 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience must be equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment, minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement. Creditable specialized experience includes: GS-07 Level: Analyzing inquiries to determine feasibility of electronic testing and/or laboratory test equipment necessary to adequately diagnose and/or characterize system/item performance; Demonstrating general awareness and understanding of typical electronic test equipment (e.g. voltmeter, ammeter, oscilloscope, etc.), and recognizing performance bounds, under oversight of senior level engineers, to ensure the correct (or adequate) tool diagnostic for a given electronic test is utilized; Completing assignments by following specific instructions and procedures, in strict compliance with instructions, within allowable time frames, priorities, anticipated problems, etc; Working assignments that start less difficult and gradual become more complex and involved in nature as knowledge is gained from previous experience and with more frequent repetition of applicable and pertinent regulations, procedures, and guidelines, while proactively seeking guidance and assistance for situations not covered by instructions; Referring problem situations and deviations to those in a position of authority resolution and/or guidance. GS-09 Level: Assisting in writing test programs for the computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE); Assisting in designing and developing novel electrical test circuits and fixtures; Assisting in testing electronic devices, sub- assemblies and assemblies; Employing computer controlled, state-of-the-art, electronic test systems. GS-11 level: Preparing test programs for the computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE) Designing and developed novel electrical test circuits and fixtures. Preparing setup of testing electronic devices, sub- assemblies and assemblies, Employing computer controlled, state-of-the-art, electronic test systems. GS-12 level: Writing test programs for the computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE) Designing and developing electrical test circuits and fixtures. Testing electronic devices, sub- assemblies and assemblies, Employing computer controlled, state-of-the-art, electronic test systems.
