MECHANICAL ENGINEER.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content.
We have sections: Duties (list of duties), Requirements (conditions of employment?), Qualifications (who may apply, basic requirement, etc.), maybe also "Additional information" but we should drop boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also we need to include Benefits only if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic but not specific benefits. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's vague; not specific benefits like health insurance, retirement. Likely we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Pay: mentions "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's specific enough? It mentions salary includes locality pay. That is pay info. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Conditions of employment" maybe part of Requirements? We'll include Requirements section with conditions of employment (suitability/fitness determination, background investigation). Also include "Additional information" like Male applicants born after Dec 31 1959 must complete Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration, proof of US Citizenship, 1 year probationary period, Direct Deposit of Pay required, Selection subject to restrictions..., reemployed annuitant info, Career Program, multiple positions may be filled, etc. Those are substantive? Many are procedural but still part of posting. We should keep them unless they are boilerplate like EEO. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The items like probationary period, direct deposit, etc are not boilerplate; they are specific to position. So keep.
We need to format duties as - . Qualifications as maybe
- for subpoints? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for qualifications we have paragraphs and lists; we can use
for prose and
- for lists.
We need headings:
for each section: Responsibilities (instead of Duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. Possibly also "About the role"? Not needed. We'll use Responsibilities for duties.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract duties list:
- Independently performs major work assignments and applies a wealth of advanced concepts, principles, and practices of mechanical engineering.
- Maintains awareness of new scientific developments and advances in mechanical design and construction.
- Responds to requests for technical advice and assistance from team members.
- Serves as a formal independent technical reviewer and serves in other review roles.
- Provides technical team leadership on various types of projects.
- Trains or arranges for the training of team members in methods and techniques of team building and working in teams to accomplish tasks or projects.
- Applies a wide range of qualitative and/or quantitative methods to identify, access, analyze, and improve team effectiveness.
- Serves as the mechanical design expert in full range of mechanical systems for Military, CW, and IIS projects.
We'll put each as
- .
Requirements: Conditions of employment: Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation.
Also maybe other requirements? The "Requirements" heading originally had "Conditions of employment". We'll include that as a
or maybe
- . Since it's a single statement, use
.
Qualifications: This is long. We'll break into paragraphs.
We need to preserve all substantive info: Who May Apply: US Citizens. In order to qualify, you must meet the education and experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social).

Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is SELECTIVE PLACEMENT FACTOR: This position requires a current Professional Engineering License issued by any State in the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico. (You must upload a copy of your current PE license within your application package) Basic Requirement For Mechanical Engineer: Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in engineering. To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (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, or 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 A above. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program.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 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. In Addition To Meeting The Basic Requirement Above, To Qualify For This Position You Must Also Meet The Qualification Requirements Listed Below: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes: (1) work as a senior mechanical engineer in design to ensure quality of plans and specifications; (2) application of mechanical design and construction expertise by reviewing designs for proposed projects, and/or performing second level review for in-house designs; (3) analyzing engineering designs to identify problems or deficiencies; AND (4) make determinations to resolve constructability issues which may cause delays. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-12). Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For the GS-12 level, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.

We need to strip boilerplate like "Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." That's generic but maybe still substantive? It's a generic line; but it's about benefits. Since we are not creating Benefits section, we might still keep that sentence in Qualifications? It's about benefits eligibility. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That sentence is not exactly those categories, but it's generic benefits info. Might be okay to keep but we are not making Benefits section. Could keep as a paragraph under Qualifications?
