Duties

• You will serve as the technical authority, advisor, and component manager for the formulation, design, development, test, and implementation for Mechanical Ground Support Equipment used to support development of the TRIDENT II D5 Missile System.
• You will support handling, movement, on/off-loading, and maintenance of D5 Life Extension 2 (D5LE2) Missiles at Strategic Weapons Facilities and other locations where D5LE2 Missiles will be managed and maintained.
• You will coordinate with other SSP government activities to support MGSE interface changes to be implemented on the D5LE2 Strategic Weapon System (SWS) and ensure the equipment is compatible with other subsystems (i.e. ship and shore handling, etc).
• You will conduct required system analysis to confirm supportability factors recommended by logistics experts are accounted for in all developmental activities and incorporated into MGSE design.
• You will establish and administer budgets/contractual and other funding actions to support assigned MGSE for D5LE2 development and sustainment efforts, to include ownership/presentation to leadership of project planning factors and resource needs.
• You will direct program management efforts of contractor and government agencies in support of U.S./UK MGSE to ensure end products meet established cost, schedule, and performance requirements in support of the D5LE2 Missile Program.
• You will maximize efficiencies in transitioning from currently-deployed D5LE equipment to next-generation D5LE2 equipment and, where prudent, leveraging current equipment for D5LE2 MGSE development.

Qualifications

Your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience at or equivalent to the NH-02 (GS-11 equivalent) grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector. Specialized experience must demonstrate the following: formulating system engineering assessments for a defense acquisition program; integrating mechanical support equipment into fleet operational facilities; and applying nuclear weapons safety requirements within SLBM system test programs and assembly operations. Additional qualification information can be found from the following Office of Personnel Management website: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/classification-qualifications/general-schedule-qualification-standards//#url=Occupational-Series Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.

Education

Applicants must meet the following positive education qualifications requirements of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualifications Standards Manual: Applicants must possess: 08XX - Professional Engineering Series: Professional Engineering Series (08XX) - Degree: A professional engineering degree from an ABET-accredited college or university; OR a degree with curriculum in differential and integral calculus, with additional courses 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 Professional Engineering Series (08XX) - Substitution of Education/Experience: A 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. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: (a) professional registration, (b) evidence of successfully passing the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination; (c) successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified above; or (d) successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in engineering 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 that it included at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. (Note to Applicants: Please see the Qualifications & Education sections of this announcement for a link to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Individual Occupational Requirements. OPM guidance indicates that there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience. This training plan or experience must be well documented and provided at time of application.)
