Only U.S. citizens, nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. can apply. You must be able to prove U.S. citizenship.

  • Lead other engineering technicians on multi-discipline projects.

Do you qualify for GS-4 to GS-11?

With experience: Your experience must match the grade you apply for, and the announcement lists requirements for GS-04 through GS-11. Specialized experience means past work that shows you can do this job; for GS-11, that means one year of independently building 3D models on multiple platforms with very basic instructions, reviewing others' work, mentoring, and leading technicians on multi-discipline projects.

With education: Two years of education above high school can qualify you for GS-04. A four-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree can qualify you for GS-05. The announcement lists education only for these two grades. Foreign education must be evaluated by a recognized private evaluator or receive full credit from a U.S. accredited school.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • State-issued driver's license, which you must be able to obtain and keep

  • Proof of U.S. citizenship
  • Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
  • Optional cover letter

How you will be rated: Your application package, including your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire answers, is reviewed to see if you meet the qualifications. Missing information, a resume over two pages, or inflated qualifications can make you ineligible or cost you consideration.

Tips for this job:

  • Show hours per week for each job on your resume, or your application may be marked incomplete.
  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, or it will be removed from consideration.
  • If you qualify through education, upload your transcripts with your application or you will be rated ineligible.
