Practical knowledge in using and interpreting standards as well as complex test equipment such as signal generators, sawtooth generators, and video amplifiers. Practical knowledge in determining suitability of equipment in terms of current objectives and those objectives related to emerging technologies and methods and apply innovative methods to reconfigure equipment as necessary as well as develop procedures to improve system efficiencies. Practical knowledge of DoD, OSHA and ANSI processes and procedures to ensure quality and safety in all aspects of operations. Skill in applying qualitative and quantitative techniques to troubleshoot, modify and evaluate state of the art electronic equipment to include, but not limited to, receivers, antennas, data recorders, amplifiers, bit synchronizers and decryption devices. Ability to test and check the effect of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and pressure on equipment and skilled to diagnose malfunctions and adjust controls to achieve peak performance. Ability to provide comprehensive management advisory and technical services on functions, practices, and operations, recommendations and brief findings to managerial personnel, engineering, and system users. Ability to control, diagnose and analyze telemetry data collection system and comprehend the telemetry system capabilities. FEDERAL TIME-IN-GRADE (TIG) REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL SCHEDULE (GS) POSITIONS:
Merit promotion applicants must meet applicable time-in- grade requirements to be considered eligible. One year at the GS-10 level is required to meet the time-in-grade requirements for the GS-11 level. TIG applies if you are in a current GS position or held a GS position within the previous 52 weeks. KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs):
Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1. Extensive knowledge of specialized electronic, electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic principles and theories required to repair, maintain, and calibrate telemetry equipment and systems that perform data collection, differentiation, integration, translation, and recording functions. 2. Extensive knowledge of testing and troubleshooting techniques and procedures and test equipment necessary to analyze, repair, and maintain electromechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electronic systems where the equipment is interrelated and performs multiple functions and/or where performance specifications are met only by making simultaneous adjustments and alignments to interrelated systems and devices. 3. Extensive knowledge of industry electronics standards, policies, and procedures. Knowledge of the Weapon System Evaluation Program, agency, command, and installation is preferred. 4. Extensive knowledge of operational and maintenance records, both manual and automated, and of the terminology and format to report work performed. 5. Advanced skill to isolate malfunctions in complex components and devices or to align and calibrate special purpose test consoles that contain multifunctional items with critical mechanical and electronic tolerances and accuracies as well as interpret complex drawings, sketches, wiring and schematic diagrams, manufacturers' plans, engineering blueprints, and similar technical information. 6. Advanced skill to modify and improve methods of testing and overhauling new instruments and devices that may require adapting tools and test equipment to special uses such as extending the range or sensitivity of diagnostic equipment, or fabricating tools and/or nonstandard components to accommodate particular needs, or to perform standard operations more efficiently. 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.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
