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

Installing, inspecting, testing, and repairing UAS system components directly overlaps with civilian avionics installation and repair.

How to prepare: Compare your component-level maintenance experience with avionics vacancies, then practice the civilian test procedures for equipment you have not used.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test and troubleshoot instruments, components, and assemblies, using circuit testers, oscilloscopes, or voltmeters.
  • Adjust, repair, or replace malfunctioning components or assemblies, using hand tools or soldering irons.
  • Install electrical and electronic components, assemblies, and systems in aircraft, using hand tools, power tools, or soldering irons.

Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians

UAS component testing, ancillary equipment maintenance, and flight line operations provide a foundation for aerospace test-support work.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on test-and-measurement exercise that includes setting up equipment, recording component test data, and interpreting the results.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect, diagnose, maintain, and operate test setups and equipment to detect malfunctions.
  • Record and interpret test data on parts, assemblies, and mechanisms.

Getting Started

  • ASTM NCATT Aircraft Electronics Technician (AET)

    Validate electronics fundamentals, common maintenance practices, and aircraft knowledge for civilian avionics work.

    Eligibility and preparation: No mandatory education, experience, or prior certification is required to take the exam.

    For: Avionics Technicians

  • Certified Aerospace Technician Core

    Build and demonstrate aerospace fundamentals, applied mechanics, and test-and-measurement knowledge through written, oral, and practical assessment.

    Eligibility and preparation: Meet one eligibility route: active-duty or veteran service in an aeronautical, aviation, aerospace, or engineering specialty or assignment; at least two years of work in one of those fields; a college or technical-school degree of at least two years in one of those disciplines; or an FAA Airframe & Powerplant Certificate.

    For: Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians
