Aerospace Engineer
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 with responsibility for planning, coordinating, reviewing and evaluating activities of matrix teams assembled for the timely completion of type certification projects of aircraft, engines, or propellers using advanced materials, systems and design concepts.Applies experience and comprehensive knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts applicable to his/her discipline, as well as an understanding of new technologies and methodologies, to solve complex problems and to develop improved technical processes for the organization. In doing so, he/she reviews and analyzes applications for type certificate and supplemental type certificate design approvals from domestic, foreign and Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) applicants. Determine the overall safety of proposed aircraft, engines and propellers, areas requiring issue papers, general acceptability of proposals, resource utilization, and applicability of the proposed certification schedules. Uses experience and knowledge of policy and regulations in managing the certification of aeronautical products to include designee management and system oversight.May act as the principal technical specialist or as a project/program manager or team leader for large work activities. Leads other members of the workgroup towards commonly shared goals. Coordinates with other FAA team members to ensure that all safety concerns and possible items affecting more than one area are addressed and resolved.Preparing technical documents, which compels others to take action, instruct others in carrying out activities, or explain the purpose, goals and objectives of a policy/regulations. He/she drafts, reviews, and edits reports or contractual documents for final approval prior to external distribution. Presents briefings to obtain concensus/approval on policies. Coordinates significant technical matters with representatives of external organizations.Broad policies and objectives provide general guidance for addressing issues, but allow considerable discretion to develop new and innovative approaches. Draws on engineering experience to solve unusual problems and may create new solutions and policy interpretations. Provides policy guidance and instruction to others, both internally and externally.Work is reviewed rarely, typically through status reports and at project completion, to ensure technical compliance and alignment with the requirements of the project or other work activity. BASIC QUALIFICATION:
To qualify for this position you must have a degree in professional engineering. To be acceptable, 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.ORA 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. There are alternate methods to meeting the engineering educational requirement (for example, holding current professional engineering registration, having passed the EIT examination, or having completed specified academic courses or a related degree).For more information on the alternate methods, please refer to the OPM Qualification Standards for Engineering at:
