Do you qualify for GS-15?
With experience: You need one full year (52 weeks) of specialized experience at the GS-14 level. It must include overseeing a project for testing, integrating or repairing radar data systems, coordinating logistics for engineering equipment, and giving technical advice to solve program problems. The experience does not have to be federal, and volunteer work counts.
With education: Education cannot replace experience at this grade. You can meet the basic education requirement with an engineering degree from an ABET-accredited program, or with calculus and advanced science courses in five of seven listed engineering areas. Other options include an engineering license or passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, 60 semester hours of science and engineering courses, or a related science degree plus one year of professional engineering experience.
How to apply well
What to send:

- Unofficial transcripts for education qualification, with official transcripts before reporting to duty
- Foreign education equivalency evaluation letter with course-by-course listing, if your education is foreign
- DD-214 or other discharge proof if you claim veterans' preference
- CTAP or ICTAP documents if you apply under those programs, such as RIF notice and SF-50
How you will be rated: You will be rated on your application materials, your questionnaire answers, and possibly USA Hire tests and a Job Knowledge Test. Top-rated candidates are placed in Gold, Silver or Bronze categories, and Gold candidates are referred first. You may be rated ineligible if you skip questionnaire questions or do not submit all required documents.
Tips for this job:
- Keep your resume to two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
