Position Overview/Duties

We are seeking highly motivated and detail-oriented individuals to fill developmental/entry-level Electrical Engineer positions at the GS-05, GS-07, or GS-09 level, with potential promotion to the full performance GS-11 level based on continuous satisfactory performance and successful completion of training requirements.

Incumbent works under closer than normal supervision at the journeyman level performing assignments designed to provide the competencies, skills, and experience required to perform the more complex work at the full performance grade level. The work increases in difficulty, complexity, and responsibility as the incumbent gains experience and demonstrates a full comprehension of the target level position, GS-0850-11.

At the Electrical Engineer full performance level (GS-11), you will: Perform professional duties in planning, performing, coordinating and monitoring data gathering, analysis and systems evaluation of Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) sites under the PREP program.

• Assignments are normally of a conventional nature, but require the ability to adapt, select, interpret, and apply a variety of engineering principles, guides, precedents and practices when confronted with complex problems in making sound engineering compromises and decisions. Duties require a thorough education and training in the principles and theories of electrical engineering to include load requirements, voltage considerations, power sources and distribution systems, power distribution apparatus, controllers, wiring systems, system protection and coordination, and electric space conditioning.
• Studies operations and maintenance requirements on electrical systems including such items as generators, motor generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and power plant auxiliary system. Analyzes equipment failure and malfunction reports. Selects proper approaches to problems. Delineate the specifics of engineering problems and devises ways to meet established performance requirements. Recommends modification of standard practices and adaptation of equipment or techniques to obtain desired objectives. Develops designs of new equipment or modifications to existing equipment and prepares all necessary engineering analyses and support documentation required.
