Aerospace Engineer
Performs multiple, varying, and complex assignments and plans the implementation of projects/programs under limited direction of a manager. The incumbent serves as an Aerospace Engineer with responsibility for regulatory oversight of aircraft certification programs and continuing operational safety in avionics and electrical systems.Applies experience and advanced knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts applicable to his/her discipline to accomplish assignments and to develop plans and techniques to improve programs and policies. Applies engineering concept to aircraft electrical systems/avionic in order to evaluate aircraft designs and modifications. He/she is responsible for applying safety management principles using advanced knowledge and risk management techniques. Analyze and evaluate safety and reliability of systems and/or components. Responsibilities include review and evaluation of regulatory compliance for aircraft certification projects and initiation of safety determinations for continuing airworthiness. May serve as a team lead to oversee Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) for technical and procedural compliance to the regulations.Established policies/procedures provide guidance for most assignments, but considerable discretion is allowed to select the most appropriate approach or to recommend new approaches. Assignments typically require solutions that are to be derived by interpreting and extrapolating from situations that were faced in the past. Provides recommendations to improve work processes. The incumbent also work with applicants for design approvals related to 14 CFR parts 23, 25, 27, or 29 and other 14 CFR parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as assigned. Resolves all but unique technical problems without the intervention of management or a more experienced engineer. Identifies and informs management of problems that require their attention. Often develops and recommends techniques to address problem situations.Work is reviewed periodically, generally at major milestones and at completion, for technical compliance and alignment with the requirements of the project or other work activity. BASIC QUALIFICATION:
To qualify for this position you must have a degree in professional engineering. To be acceptable, the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; 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.ORA combination of education and experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying professional 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.There are alternate methods to meeting the engineering educational requirement (for example, holding current professional engineering registration, having passed the EIT examination, or having completed specified academic courses or a related degree). For more information on the alternate methods, please refer to the OPM Qualification Standards for Engineering at:
