In order to qualify, you must meet the general experience requirements described in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Qualification Standards Handbook X-118C.
Qualifications:
Applicants will be rated in accordance with the OPM Qualification Standard Handbook X-118C for the WG-2600, Electronic Equipment Installation and Maintenance Group. Although a specific length of time and experience is not required for most blue-collar positions, you must meet any screen-out element listed, and show through experience and training that you possess the quality level of knowledge and skill necessary to perform the duties of the position at the level for which you are applying. Qualification requirements emphasis is on the quality of experience, not necessarily the length of time. The screen out element for this position is the ability to do the work of the portion without more than normal supervision. JOB ELEMENTS:
Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1. Knowledge of operating electronic principles such as circuit elements, digital logic, microprocessors, core memory, interface circuits, digital data transmission, microwave, antennas, signal behavior, amplification and display, as found in complex electronic equipment and complete operational avionics system(s) consisting of numerous complex integral components that require knowledge of a wide range of electronic principles and practices. 2. Knowledge of safety and security regulations, practices, and procedures. 3. Skill in the use of electronic test equipment such as computer controlled automated test equipment (ATE), oscilloscopes, pulse and signal generators, distortion and waveform analyzers, digital data generators, digital voltmeters, frequency generators, and special test panels. 4. Skill in troubleshooting, installing, repairing, and maintaining malfunctions in complex electronic systems where circuit theory must be used to understand the operation of individual circuits, and the possible interaction of other circuits that create a malfunction; and in interpreting complex drawings, specifications, and schematics of complete systems to recognize the function and interconnections of components, assemblies, subassemblies, and connecting cable harnesses. 5. Skill to modify systems by adding, altering, or removing components to standardize or alter the purpose of the equipment or to incorporate new features developed since the equipment was manufactured. 6. Skill in the use of a variety of hand tools such as screwdrivers, drills, wrenches, soldering irons, and microsoldering units. 7. Ability to troubleshoot and repair malfunctions where circuit theory must be used to understand the operation of individual circuits and the interaction of other circuits to create a malfunction 8. Ability to use computer terminals to maintain records and documentation actions required of aircraft maintenance. 9. Ability to understand the interaction of a number of complex, interrelated circuits such as timing circuits, pulse forming networks, etc., to determine the cause of a malfunction and the interaction of factors such as ambient temperature and the power and duration of the signal input, which together causes it to fail. 10. Ability to acquire and access aircraft system data with the use of lap top computers in identifying aircraft deficiencies and programming data obtained in the form of micro soft word and excel programs. 11. Ability to read, interpret and apply a variety of technical information such as technical orders, manufacturers' handbooks and repair manuals, schematics, block diagrams, mathematical expressions. Physical Effort:
Frequently lifts and carries, unassisted, items weighing up to 50 pounds. Sometimes required lifting and carrying items weighing more than 50 pounds with the help of weight handling equipment or with assistance from other workers. The work requires frequent standing, walking, bending, crouching, reaching, and stooping. Climbing and working in high places may be required. Ability to operate motor vehicle. Some work may require the aid of magnifying lenses, eye loops, and microscopes to accomplish repairs on miniature components. Working Conditions:
Employee typically works outside; subject to prevailing weather conditions, noise extremes, slippery, uneven surfaces and working in confined areas. Majority of time requires ear defenders to be worn. Exposed to the possibility of fire, explosion, electric shock; burns, bruises, cuts, grease, oil, dirt and fuel. 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.
