Electronics Engineer
Requires a comprehensive knowledge of electronics engineering and specific knowledge of one or more complex National Airspace System (NAS) systems (RADAR, Surveillance, TDWR, & Automation). Identifies and resolves NAS operational problems within their specialized area. The engineer analyzes impacts of Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) and Non Rulemaking Activity (NRA) on NAS operations. Communicates internal and external concerns and recommends alternatives. Reviews National Change Proposals and provides input. The journeyman engineer researches and provides technical analysis of electronics problems that affects the NAS. The engineer provides solutions to systemic challenges in their discipline that cause a negative impact on NAS equipment. Reviews engineering plans and specifications for NAS modernization projects and provides comments to address maintainability issues. The journeyman engineer develops engineering solutions for operations projects and prepares briefings sheets describing technical problems and their solutions. Coordinates with all stakeholders (Districts, Technical Support Groups, System Support Centers, Air Traffic and Engineering Services) on issues associated with assigned projects and operational issues. The journeyman engineer prepares site adaptation of standard engineering designs to accommodate land, access, weather, utilities access, seismic consideration and community issues. Develops scope, cost estimates, schedule and resource requirements for assigned projects and modifies as necessary. The engineer accomplishes project risk mitigation and provides technical support to specialists and engineers for testing, restoration and/or optimization of NAS facilities. The engineer provides construction and installation support to engineers/specialists assigned construction installation projects. The incumbent coordinates support from the NAS Engineering Group, and other technical support organizations as required, and demonstrates independence in planning time and using pertinent resources to accomplish multiple assignments/projects. The journeyman engineer assesses the impacts of changes to operations resulting from new requirements, technologies, and budget constraints/changes and takes action to mitigate the impacts. Analyzes NAS performance trends and formulates recommend solutions. EDUCATION REQUIREMENT:
A. DEGREE. Completion of a 4 year engineering professional curriculum in an accredited college or university. 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. FOREIGN EDUCATION:
If degree was obtained in a foreign institution, must be evaluated by a private professional organization specializing in interpretation of foreign education credentials or an accredited U.S. Educational Institution in terms of equivalent to a degree acquired at an American college or university.ORCombination of education and experience.
