Engineering Technicians must be able to provide semi-professional technical support for engineers working in such areas as research, design, development, testing, or manufacturing process improvement. Work pertains to electrical, electronic, or mechanical components or equipment. These technicians are required to have some practical knowledge of science or engineering. Some positions may require a practical knowledge of mathematics or computer science. Included are workers who prepare design drawings and assist with the design, evaluation, and/or modification of machinery and equipment.

The Engineering Technician 5 performs non-routine and complex assignments involving responsibility for planning and conducting a complete project of relatively limited scope or a portion of a larger and more diverse project, selects and adapts plans, techniques, designs, or layouts, contacts personnel in related activities to resolve problems and coordinates the work, reviews, analyzes, and integrates the technical work of others.

Supervisor or professional engineer outlines objectives, requirements, and design approaches. Completed work is reviewed for technical adequacy and satisfaction of requirements. This incumbent may train and be assisted by lower-level technicians.

• Designs, develops, and constructs major units, devices, or equipment; conducts tests or experiments; analyzes results and redesigns or modifies equipment to improve performance; and reports results.
• From general guidelines and specifications (e.g., size or weight requirements), develops designs for equipment without critical performance requirements that are difficult to satisfy such as engine parts, research instruments, or special purpose circuitry. Analyzes technical data to determine applicability to design problems; selects from several possible design layouts; calculates design data; and prepares layouts, detailed specifications, parts lists, estimates, procedures, etc.
  
  May check and analyze drawings or equipment to determine adequacy of drawings and design.
• Plans or assists in planning tests to evaluate equipment performance. Determines test requirements, equipment modification, and test procedures; conducts tests using all types of instruments; analyzes and evaluates test results, and prepares reports on findings and recommendations.

• Under general supervision, performs non-routine and complex assignments involving responsibility for scoping, planning and estimating a complete project of relatively limited scope or a portion of a larger and more diverse project, selects and adapts plans, techniques, designs, or layouts, contacts personnel in related activities to resolve problems.
• Provide engineering support to analyze and evaluate facilities work order requests for repair, maintenance and construction submitted by base/installation site building managers and tenants.
• Provide field level inspections for engineering projects, prepare reports, conduct surveys / inspections of site and buildings for project generation, maintain paper and electronic records, and prepare initial project scopes, descriptions, and justifications for necessary facility modifications.
• Assist the government Facilities Manager or Engineer in reviewing performance work statements (PWS) to identify deficiencies in service contracts, assess operational impacts, and required revisions.
• Analyze existing processes, systems, and workflows to identify areas for improvement.
• At the direction of the government coordinate with other base organizations and various federal state and local officials to evaluate policies, procedures, and actual maintenance and repair activities and recommend changes necessary for improvement.
• Assist in planning activities, such as determining production schedules, estimating resource requirements, and forecasting.
• Utilizing computer aided design, provide signage drawings for building identification, building naming, room identification, door name plates, safety signs, directional signs, temp signage, etc.
• Provide design reviews for all new work/projects that include replacement of equipment, renovation of current facilities, new additions added to the current facilities and construction of the new facilities.
• Prepare reports, briefings, presentations and analysis on…
