A degree in professional engineering from a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; OR B. A degree in professional engineering that includes differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in 5 of the following 7 areas of engineering science or physics: (1) statics, dynamics; (2) strength of materials (stress-strain relationships); (3) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (4) thermodynamics; (5) electrical fields and circuits; (6) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); and (7) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics, such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics, or electronics; OR C.

Be registered as a professional engineer by any State, the District of Columbia, Guam, or Puerto Rico; OR D. Be currently registered as an Engineering Intern (EI) or an Engineer in Training (EIT); OR E. Successfully passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination or any other written test required for professional registration by an engineering licensure board in the various States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.; OR F.

Successfully completed at least 60 semester hours of courses in the physical, mathematical, and engineering sciences and in engineering that included the courses specified in the basic requirements. The courses must be fully acceptable toward meeting the requirements of a professional engineering curriculum as described above; OR G. Successfully completed a curriculum that led to a bachelor's degree in engineering technology OR in an appropriate professional field, e.g., physics, chemistry, architecture, computer science, mathematics, hydrology, or geology AND at least 1 year of professional engineering experience acquired under professional engineering supervision and guidance.

In addition to the Basic Qualifications above, to qualify for a General Engineer (Cyclotron), GS-0801 position at the GS-12 level, you must have 1 year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the GS-11 level in the Federal service obtained in either the private or public sector, performing the following types of tasks: providing engineering support for cyclotrons, particle accelerators, or comparable electromechanical systems; diagnosing and resolving malfunctions involving integrated systems (i.e., electrical, electronic, mechanical, radio frequency (RF), high-voltage, vacuum, programmable logic controllers (PLC), embedded control, instrumentation, computerized control systems); applying engineering principles to design, modify, fabricate, integrate, test, or improve specialized equipment, components, and control or monitoring systems to enhance reliability, performance, automation, production efficiency, or maintainability; applying Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) radiation safety, regulatory, quality, and compliance requirements to engineering equipment, operations, procedures, and documentation in controlled environments; providing technical consultation and engineering guidance for technical projects.
