BACKGROUND:

The United States Department of Commerce’s (DOC) National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the President's principal adviser on telecommunications and information policy issues. NTIA manages the Federal use of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.

NTIA’s Office of Spectrum Management (OSM) manages the EM spectrum for the Federal government in the U.S. and its territories. OSM uses multiple national security systems and unclassified systems to assign frequencies; maintain spectrum use databases; review Federal agencies' new telecommunications systems and certify the availability of spectrum; and provide the technical engineering capabilities needed to perform spectrum resources assessments.

NTIA and federal agencies including the Department of Defense (DoD), currently use the Equipment Location- Certification Information Database (EL-CID) Desktop and EL-CID Online applications as automated tools to support electronic preparation of spectrum certification requests. NTIA is planning to retire EL-CID Desktop and only use EL-CID Online, a web application with a browser-based user interface.

Job location is both remote and onsite. The candidate must be on-site at least three times a week to perform deployments and support the high-side (classified) environments. The on-site location is the Herbert C. Hoover Building, 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W, Washington, DC. 20230.

Minimum Education: Bachelor’s Degree in computer science/systems, information systems/technology, engineering/engineering technology, software engineering/programming, management, natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, or business/finance. Three years of additional applicable experience may be substituted for a Bachelor’s degree.
