31 open positions in this category
OPM series 0802. Engineering technicians who support engineers by drafting, testing, inspecting, and gathering data for engineering projects.
The 0802 series does not carry the degree requirement of the professional engineering series, which makes it a common route into technical federal work for people with trade, military or two-year college backgrounds.
Recent listings have included engineering technicians at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Aviation Administration, Naval Sea Systems Command, U.S. Pacific Fleet, the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, with civil, mechanical, materials, composites and construction specialties, supervisory engineering technicians in the aerospace and civil fields, lead engineering technicians and a direct-hire public notice.
Applying tip: announcements rate you on specific technical experience, so list the instruments, software, codes and testing methods you have used and the kinds of projects you supported. Public notices under direct hire stay open to collect resumes and do not always reply quickly. The engineering guide covers the professional series that technicians often work alongside.
