Industrial Engineering
6 open positions in this category
Industrial engineers in the 0896 series improve how work gets done: production processes, maintenance and repair operations, facility layouts, cost and schedule analysis and the methods and standards behind them. In defense the work centers on depots, ammunition plants and aircraft repair facilities.
Recent listings have included industrial engineers, supervisory industrial engineers and a public notice for industrial engineers under direct hire authority, with positions at Naval Air Systems Command, the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Defense Contract Management Agency.
Applying tip: 0896 requires a professional engineering degree, normally ABET-accredited, or one of OPM’s equivalent routes, so state yours and attach transcripts. Describe the processes you improved with before-and-after measures: throughput, cost, cycle time or defect rates. Our engineering guide explains federal engineering hiring.
