Additional information about transcripts is in this document. Basic Requirement for Computer Scientist: Degree: Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in computer science or bachelor's degree (or higher degree) with 30 semester hours in a combination of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. At least 15 of the 30 semester hours must have included any combination of statistics and mathematics that included differential and integral calculus. AND GG-09: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes experience applying knowledge of cloud, data center and wide area network (WAN) technologies; participating in the development of innovative technical solutions for projects involving cloud migration, data center infrastructure modernization and WAN expansion; assisting in development of technical solutions using knowledge of techniques, procedures, and processes such as data structures, service-oriented architecture, WAN protocols, and computer communication; assisting in Tier 3 data center and WAN technology troubleshooting. OR Education: Master's or equivalent graduate degree or 2 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position, such as: Engineering or Computer Science. OR Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the first year (total graduate semester hours minus 18) by 18. Add the two percentages. GG-11: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes knowledge of cloud, data center and wide area network (WAN) technologies; participating in the development of innovative technical solutions for projects involving cloud migration, data center infrastructure modernization and WAN expansion; assisting in development of technical solutions using knowledge of techniques, procedures, and processes such as data structures, service-oriented architecture, WAN protocols, and computer communication; investigating system concepts and system interactions in assigned areas to identify and/or predict cloud, data center and WAN hardware and protocol issues limiting the effectiveness of the system, determines methods of solution to these areas. OR Education: Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to such a degree in a field which demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do the work of the position, such as: Engineering or Computer Science. OR Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of education and experience may be used to qualify for this position as long as the computed percentage of the requirements is at least 100%. To compute the percentage of the requirements, divide your total months of experience by 12. Then divide the total number of completed graduate semester hours (or equivalent) beyond the second year (total graduate semester hours minus 36) by 18. Add the two percentages. GG-12: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes applying knowledge of cloud, data center WAN technologies and protocols, and problem solving to support hardware, software, system development and networks; developing hardware systems using knowledge of techniques, procedures, and processes such as WAN protocols, cloud and data center technologies, service oriented architecture and computer communication; utilizing knowledge of the design characteristics, limitations and potential applications of systems having the ability to transform information and of broad areas of applications of computing, which have common structures, processes and techniques; and providing and implementing system security and technology improvements of network/systems infrastructure, processing platforms, and network/system management. GG-13: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes applying knowledge of cloud, data center WAN technologies and protocols, and problem solving to support hardware, software, system development and networks; developing hardware systems using knowledge of techniques, procedures, and processes such as WAN protocols, cloud and data center technologies, service oriented architecture and computer communication; utilizing knowledge of the design characteristics, limitations and potential applications of systems having the ability to transform information and of broad areas of applications of computing, which have common structures, processes and techniques; and providing and implementing system security and technology improvements of network/systems infrastructure, processing platforms, and network/system management. Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For the GG-12 and GG-13 grade levels, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.
