Position Description
As a journey-level Engineer, the incumbent works on varied, complex equipment systems and subsystems associated with research, innovation, or reengineering assignments and demonstrates competence and creativity in developing new concepts and new uses of material/hardware/software/tactics. Also, he/she develops or tests new equipment or material that significantly adds to the operability and usefulness of existing or new equipment/systems having new features.
The Engineer provides technically sound advice and guidance to managers, supervisors, peers, and sponsors on specific technical aspects of systems or concept development. In many instances, experimental data is nonexistent and the Engineer is required to develop plans and procedures to extend existing knowledge/tests to account for newly emerging ideas and projects. Concepts are often controversial and the Engineer, as a specialist, is called upon to technically defend and support his/her ideas and proposals. Technical contributions are recognized by management and peers as having significant impact on projects.
Engineering assignments may include major portions of large scale projects or consist of entire projects of a medium scale. Assignments are of such breadth that they may encompass several phases of the development process. The Engineer is expected to carry out work that may have little or no precedent and provides leadership in resolving major technical and administrative problems. The Engineer may lead a team to develop engineering criteria; analyze technical problems that are controversial; and, in general, extend the state-of-the-art in his/her specialty. Assignments normally include travel to other commands, universities, contractor plants, and sponsor headquarters to discuss and resolve difficult problems, assist in determining the direction of the project, and provide advice on new and emerging technologies.
At this level, the Engineer is considered to be a specialist both by the organization and his/her peers. He/she has extensive specialized training or experience in a subject matter or functional area. The incumbent is especially versatile and innovative in adapting, modifying, or making compromises in meeting project needs, which contain a combination of complex features. The Engineer may be called upon to provide training and/or mentoring to other personnel.
