Eligibility will be based upon a clear showing the applicant has training, education and experience of the scope and quality sufficient to effectively carry-out the duties of the position. Candidates must exemplify the corporate perspective, leadership vision, broad experience and character needed in the SE corps not only to satisfy the immediate vacancy, but future vacancies which will occur in a variety of organizations, functions and locations. A. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Education Requirement: Degree: Engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics. OR. Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering. The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following: 1. Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT), or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration. For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions. 2. Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico. 3. Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A. 4. Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance. Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions. (The above examples of related curricula are not all inclusive.) MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS (MTQs): All applicants must submit a two-page resume that reflects demonstrated experience for each MTQ. 1. Executive-level technical experience in architecture and systems engineering program development and management and ability to introduce emerging information and technologies and methods not currently in use within the DAF. 2. High-level of personal initiative: creative problem solving skills and innovative thought, the ability to rapidly formulate and communicate decisions, and the ability to present and defend independent positions at the highest levels of government. In addition, DoD requires an Enterprise Perspective. The individual must possess a broad point of view and an awareness and understanding of individual or organizational responsibilities in relation to DoD or government-wide strategic priorities. Executives should demonstrate ability to work with internal and external partners to support national security objectives. This perspective is typically gained through a variety of diverse work experiences. A separate narrative statement is not required--this information should be embedded within the application package.
The Department of the Air Force (DAF) Program Executive Officer (PEO) for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management (C3BM) office is responsible for integrating all C3BM related programs throughout DAF. DAF PEO C3BM will operate across 5-unit manning documents (UMDs) with 15 operating locations, and will be responsible for $20B worth of Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). The DAF PEO C3BM ASE Maritime Mission Integration Team (MIT) Lead will support the Chief Architect / Chief Engineer to provide technical guidance for the development of mission informed architectures to defeat adversaries in the contested maritime domain. The architecture required to close the contested maritime domain kill chain will be built using a multi-domain system of systems approach. The Maritime MIT lead will be responsible for understanding the cross-domain capabilities and drive systems engineering products ready for transition to acquisitions across the DAF. Guides and mentors mission integration team using strong interpersonal skills; demonstrates experience in leading teams and managing programs that deliver architectural products that close contested air domain kill chains; serves as a coalition builder across DAF PEO C3BM, DAF, and DoD programs and customers to expand adoption of technologies through the analysis of common problems, gaps, and opportunities and alignment of innovative initiatives across the lifecycle; and drives culture change across the enterprise through training and change management, enabling a workforce well versed in functional and physical architectures.
