Specialized Experience GS-09: One year of experience at GS-7 level which includes: (1) Perform technical engineering projects in establishing design plans and assist in determining optimal resolution of the technical objectives; and (2) Review, coordinate, and monitor implementation of policies governing the program area. OR Education: Master's or equivalent graduate degree or 2 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field to do the work of the position, such as: Engineering, Mathematics or Statistics, Physical Science, or Computer Science.(You must attach a copy of your transcripts.) OR Combined Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the first year (total graduate semester hours minus 18) by 18. Add the two percentages. (You must attach a copy of your transcripts.) Specialized Experience GS-11: One year of experience at GS-09 level which includes: (1) Lead technical engineering projects in establishing design plans, selecting the most feasible execution approach towards resolution of the technical objectives; (2) Plan, coordinate or conduct feasibility studies to determine approaches and concepts to address systems integration problems; and (3) Develop new or improved techniques, processes, materials and equipment in assigned systems. OR Education: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position, such as: Engineering and/or Computer Science.
