Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Avionics Technicians

Supervising aviation communications and electronic/electrical system repairs and inspections transfers directly to avionics maintenance work.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on avionics troubleshooting refresher to assess current proficiency with circuit testers, oscilloscopes, and component repair.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test and troubleshoot instruments, components, and assemblies, using circuit testers, oscilloscopes, or voltmeters.
  • Keep records of maintenance and repair work.
  • Adjust, repair, or replace malfunctioning components or assemblies, using hand tools or soldering irons.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Overseeing electronic/electrical repairs using drawings and technical manuals provides a foundation for electronics maintenance and test work outside aviation.

How to prepare: Take a practical electronics test-equipment course that includes diagnosing faults and replacing components on non-aircraft equipment.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
  • Read blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, or engineering instructions for assembling electronics units, applying knowledge of electronic theory and components.
