Qualifications Basic Education Requirement:
0840: A
Degree: Engineering
To be acceptable, the program must: (1) lead to a bachelor's degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET; or (2) include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics: (a) statics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d) thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics.
OR
B
Combination of education and experience -- college-level education, training, and/or technical experience that furnished (1) a thorough knowledge of the physical and mathematical sciences underlying engineering, and (2) a good understanding, both theoretical and practical, of the engineering sciences and techniques and their applications to one of the branches of engineering
The adequacy of such background must be demonstrated by one of the following:
* Professional registration or licensure -- Current registration as an Engineer Intern (EI), Engineer in Training (EIT)1 , or licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico
Absent other means of qualifying under this standard, those applicants who achieved such registration by means other than written test (e.g., State grandfather or eminence provisions) are eligible only for positions that are within or closely related to the specialty field of their registration
For example, an applicant who attains registration through a State Board's eminence provision as a manufacturing engineer typically would be rated eligible only for manufacturing engineering positions.
* Written Test -- Evidence of having successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE)2 examination or any other written test required for professional
* Specified academic courses -- Successful completion of at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and that included the courses specified in the basic requirements under paragraph A
The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of an engineering program as described in paragraph A.
* Related curriculum -- Successful completion of a curriculum leading to a bachelor's degree in an appropriate scientific field, e.g., engineering technology, physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology, may be accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree in engineering, provided the applicant has had at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance
Ordinarily there should be either an established plan of intensive training to develop professional engineering competence, or several years of prior professional engineering-type experience, e.g., in interdisciplinary positions
(The above examples of related curricula are not all inclusive.)1306:
• Degree: natural science or engineering that included at least 30 semester hours in health physics, engineering, radiological science, chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and/or calculus
or
* Combination of education and experience -- courses as shown in A above, plus appropriate experience or other education; or certification as a health physicist by the American Board of Health Physics, plus appropriate experience and other education that provided an understanding of sciences applicable to health physics comparable to that described in paragraph A
Experience: GS-12: In addition to the basic education requirement above, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of SPECIALIZED experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector:
• Experience developing, planning, organizing, and preparing project designs and protocols for research and development work on methods, techniques, work processes, equipment and instrumentation assuring compliance with existing regulations.
• Experience coordinating, monitoring, reviewing, and integrating efforts of engineers, consultants, physicists, mechanics and others.
• Experience applying nuclear engineering/health physics concepts, principles, and practices, as well as administrative techniques applicable to planning and carrying out an assigned Shipyard radiation health program.
• Experience applying a complex understanding of the effects of the nuclear environment upon equipment, systems materials, and personnel and the use of quantitative measurement and engineering techniques, for evaluating the magnitude of radiation health conditions
GS-11: In addition to the basic education requirement above, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of SPECIALIZED experience at or equivalent to the GS-09 grade level or pay band in the Federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector:
• Experience developing, planning, organizing, and preparing project designs and protocols for research and development work on methods, techniques, work processes, equipment and instrumentation assuring compliance with existing regulations.
• Experience coordinating, monitoring, reviewing, and integrating efforts of engineers, consultants, physicists, mechanics and others.
• Experience developing a comprehensive knowledge of nuclear engineering/health physics concepts, principles, and practices, as well as administrative techniques applicable to planning and carrying out an assigned Shipyard radiation health program.
• Experience gaining and understanding of the effects of the nuclear environment upon equipment, systems materials, and personnel and the use of quantitative measurement and engineering techniques, for evaluating the magnitude of radiation health conditions.

0840: all-professional-engineering-positions-0800.pdf (opm.gov)
1306: Health Physics Series 1306 (opm.gov) Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social)
Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment
