21 open positions in this category
The 0855 series, Electronics Engineering, covers engineers who design, develop, test and sustain electronic systems: radar, communications, navigation and surveillance equipment, sensors, avionics and the circuits and signal processing behind them. Recent employers have spanned the Navy (Naval Air Systems Command and the Office of Naval Research), the Air Force’s Space Systems Command, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Federal Communications Commission and the Army.
Recent listings have included electronics engineers at several grades, supervisory electronics engineers, public notices for electronics engineers under direct hire authority, an electronics engineer with Space Launch Delta 30, a lead engineer and a location based services lead.
Applying tip: the series carries a positive education requirement, so you need a professional engineering degree accredited by ABET or one of the alternatives OPM accepts, such as a professional engineering license or a passing score on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Direct hire public notices stay open for long periods and refer candidates as they apply, so submit early rather than waiting for the closing date. Our engineering guide covers the 0800 group in more detail.
