Aerospace Engineer
As the Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Program Manager for multiple ODA holders, the incumbent serves as the Aircraft Certification Office (ACO) focal point for coordinating ODA activities for these applicants.This position plans and accomplishes highly complex and challenging projects/programs and other work activities under the minimal direction of a manager, or more experienced engineer. He/she serves as a Program Manager responsible for planning, coordinating, reviewing, and evaluating activities of matrix teams assembled for all ODA related activities including:
renewal and expansion, oversight; delegated organization inspections; suspension and termination, and maintenance/currency of ODA Manuals. The incumbent must work closely with the ODA holder, ACO engineers, ACO program managers, and the Wichita ACO Delegation Standardization Program Manager in coordinating all organizational delegation activities.Applies experience and advanced knowledge of aerospace engineering principles, theories, and concepts applicable to his/her discipline to accomplish assignments and to develop plans and techniques to improve programs and policies. Understands how his/her technical area interacts with or is affected by other disciplines and considers the objectives of the major subdivision and LOB/SO when developing, integrating, and implementing solutions to diverse, complex problems. Typical assignments may include:
renewal and expansion, oversight; delegated organization inspections; suspension and termination, and maintenance/currency of ODA Manuals and shared responsibility for project/program management.This position will also serve as the ODA lead for all inspection activities including:
scheduling; planning; performing inspections; and all post inspection activities. The incumbent will be responsible for reporting ODA activities and their status effectively to ACO management. Provides guidance to lower-level staff to solve difficult technical issues. 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.These tasks should be accomplished with minimal management oversight. Work is reviewed periodically, typically at major milestones and at completion, for technical compliance and alignment with the requirements of the project or other work activity. Basic Requirements:
Successful completion of a full four-year professional engineering curriculum leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering in an accredited college or university. To be acceptable the curriculum must:
(1) be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the 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); (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics; OR,ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS:
Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical 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:
Professional registration:
Current registration as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico;Written Test:
Evidence of having successfully passed the Engineer-in-Training (EIT) examination, or the written test required for professional registration, which is administered by the Boards of Engineering Examiners in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico;Specified academic courses:
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 in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described in paragraph A;Related curriculum:
- 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 the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance.Specialized Experience for J-Band:
In addition to the basic/alternative qualification requirements identified above, all applicants must demonstrate one year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade (FV-I or FG/GS-13). Specialized experience is experience which has equipped the applicant with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform the duties of the position and that is typically in or directly related to work of the position to be filled. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE include:
Experience working with Type Certification and supplemental Type Certification, ODA procedures and processes, communication concepts and techniques to reach a wide range of audiences, participation on audits, ability to organize and schedule so as to achieve results, leading teams, and the coordination and resolution of certification or ODA related issues; Experience working with Technical Standard Order Authorization; Parts Manufacturer Approval; Major Repair, Major Alteration, and Airworthiness; and Production Certification ODA procedures is desirable.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
