MGTF Labor Category Requirements

Title General Requirements

GWEF/MCL/J-RPIMES

Engineer/Analyst As used in this document, engineers are usually responsible for hardware oriented designs and tasks whereas analysts develop simulation, analysis and control software, models and algorithms and perform analysis of test results. Both positions often require interdisciplinary skills requiring a wide span of knowledge. Duties between analysts and engineers often overlap. Four levels of experience and expertise are described below to characterize the degree of complexity of task associated with a particular position or area of responsibility. Although formal education and experience play a significant role in the degree of complexity and difficulty of assignments an individual is expected to perform, having specific educational credentials and years of related experience alone may not qualify an individual to tackle a specific degree of complexity in tasking.

Specific expertise will be required based on the task types specified in the staffing appendices.

Junior Engineer/Analyst Entry level to 5 years experience and a minimum of a BS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering, physics, mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position. Generally works under the close supervision of senior level personnel who guide the junior engineer to tackle basic tasks.

Journeyman Engineer/Analyst 5-10 yrs experience and a minimum of a BS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering, physics, mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position. Graduate level training is highly desired. Expected to be fully proficient in the area of expertise. Works independently to tackle routine and moderately difficult tasks with occasional support and consultation with senior level personnel.

Senior Engineer/Analyst 10+ years experience and a minimum of a MS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering, physics, mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position. Additional experience may be substituted in lieu of a Masters degree. Provides senior level expertise to tackle moderately to very challenging problems in the area of responsibility. Works independently in nearly all cases with rare need to consult with principal level expertise on problems of exceptional difficulty.

Principal Engineer/Analyst Normally 15+ yrs experience and a minimum of a MS from an accredited school in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering, physics, mathematics or a closely related technical field as appropriate to the position. PhD in engineering or related technical discipline desired. Provides expertise to tackle the most challenging and unique problems in the area of responsibility. Expected to work independently to solve exceptionally difficult or unique problems for which little, if any, precedence exists.

Field Engineer As used in this document, field engineers accomplish work at a level of difficulty often associated with degreed engineers and usually possess an associates or equivalent degree or certification from a technical training facility. May have additional formal training up to and including bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline. Four levels of experience and expertise are described below to characterize the degree of complexity of task associated with a particular position or area of responsibility. Although formal training and experience play a significant role in the degree of complexity and difficulty of assignments an individual is expected to perform, having specific training and years of related experience alone may not qualify an individual to tackle a specific degree of complexity in tasking.

Journeyman Field Engineer 5-10 years experience in specialized area of expertise. Field engineers accomplish work at a level of difficulty often associated with degreed engineers and usually least possesses an associates or equivalent degree from a technical training facility. May have additional formal training up to and including bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical discipline. Works independently to tackle routine and moderately difficult tasks with occasional support and consultation with senior level personnel.

Senior Field Engineer 10+ years experience in specialized area of expertise. Field engineers accomplish work at a level of difficulty often associated with degreed engineers and at the senior level have completed significant formal training (normally an associates or equivalent degree from a technical training facility). May have additional formal training up to and including bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical discipline. Additional years of experience may be substituted for training in some cases. Works independently in nearly all cases with rare need to consult with expert or principal level personnel on problems of exceptional difficulty.

Expert Field Engineer Normally 15+ years experience in specialized area of expertise. Field engineers accomplish work at a level of difficulty often associated with degreed engineers and at the expert level at least have completed significant formal training (normally an associates or equivalent degree from a technical training facility). May have additional formal training up to and including bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical discipline. Expert level field engineers work independently to solve the most challenging and unique problems which have little precedence for solutions. Provides expertise, often in highly specialized or focused areas, for which there may be a scarcity of expertise across the nation.
