Duties and Responsibilities
Scope technical tasks and develop creative solutions to assigned problems. Begin using systems and meeting requirements with minimal supervisory guidance. Accepts complex tasks and receives minimal guidance from senior professionals.
Incorporate conventional engineering or scientific practices and a variety of complex features such as complicated technical requirements, application of new or special materials or processes and difficult coordination or oversight requirements into problem solving and program planning.
Provide limited guidance and direction to less senior engineering professionals.
Carry out development and qualification programs on tasks concurrent with other phases such as design and fabrication to better evaluate and minimize future problems.
Develop alternate solutions to existing problems. Perform all detail work necessary to determine best solutions.
Evaluate proposals and make recommendations based on proposed projects/tasks in area of
assignment.
May delegate portions of the detail work to less senior personnel.
Prepare costs and schedule estimates on proposed projects/tasks in assigned area. Demonstrate cost and schedule consciousness through timely completion of assigned tasks and projects.
Prepare manuals and other documents supporting or publicizing the technical effort. Demonstrate
creative ability through medium of patent disclosures, problem solving, engineering reports, technical papers and articles.
