Overview

A Developmental Engineer plans and implements engineering projects within a technical specialty. They apply advanced skills and knowledge in areas such as aeronautical systems, computer systems, flight testing, and mechanical engineering.

Minimum clearance: Secret

Core Skills

  • Lifecycle engineering from conception through disposal
  • Requirements definition and system verification
  • Technical management of sustainment and modifications

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Systems Engineer

Military lifecycle systems engineering, requirements definition, verification, and sustainment responsibilities directly overlap with multidisciplinary civilian systems engineering.

How to prepare: Build a non-sensitive project case study tracing requirements through design decisions, verification, and sustainment to demonstrate your lifecycle engineering experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Define and allocate system requirements and evaluate design tradeoffs.
  • Coordinate technical interfaces and lifecycle engineering activities.
  • Oversee system verification and validation.

Notes & Sources

  • The family-level duty evidence does not establish an individual's manufacturing, computer, or other domain-specific engineering qualifications.
