Competencies
General• Innovation
Generally identifies assumptions in the way problems or situations of moderate scope and complexity are defined or presented. Sees alternative ways to view or define problems; is not constrained by the thoughts or approaches of work group members or inter-organizational employees. Generally draws upon multiple and diverse sources (individuals, disciplines, bodies of knowledge) for ideas and inspiration. Combines ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought. Views situations from multiple perspectives; brainstorms multiple approaches/solutions. Examines some potential solutions and evaluates each before accepting any; targets important areas for innovation and develops solutions that address meaningful issues in own and other work areas.
• Project Management
Has general experience in the creation of simple project schedules identifying time frames for key project milestones. Usually updates more complex project schedules developed by more experienced employees; independently identifying project resource requirements by seeking assistance or recommendations from others within own work group and occasionally from other internal employees. Work may be checked by more experienced employees; may lead and direct the activities and resources of smaller projects within work group.
• Quality Orientation
Generally follows established procedures for completing work tasks within own work group. Watches over job processes, tasks, and work products to ensure freedom from errors, omissions, or defects. Initiates action to correct quality problems or notifies others of quality issues as appropriate.
• Safety Awareness
Usually detects hazardous working conditions and safety problems; checks equipment and/or work area as required. Reports unsafe working conditions to supervisor/manager; makes basic recommendations to improve safety and security procedures; generally enforces safety regulations and procedures among fellow work group members and occasionally other internal employees. Generally monitors continued compliance of safety procedures after corrective action has been taken.
• Systems Thinking
Generally evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet work group objective(s); attempts to identify non-value-adding components and barriers. Seeks input from others within work group and occasionally other internal employees to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Supports changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Participates in measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
Technical• Analytical Skills
Basic - Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the work group level.
Preferred - Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the department level.
• Assembly Process
Basic - General knowledge of assembly and production processes, manufacturing capabilities (e.g., composites, structures), and data needed for defining delivery configurations (e.g., design definition, program directives, engineering drawings, change memos, wiring diagrams and schematics, functional tests, supplier data). Ability to differentiate production (manufacturing) processes and requirements from in-service procedures and requirements.
