  • Unmanned vehicle electrical system repair
  • Fuel system and mechanical engine repair
  • Launcher-associated ground support equipment repair

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.

Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians

Troubleshooting and repairing unmanned vehicle control, electrical, and mechanical systems transfers directly to maintaining electromechanical equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electromechanical testing course covering oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, and schematic-based fault diagnosis.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.
  • Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, or technical orders to determine methods and sequences of assembly.
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning.

Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians

UAV fuel system, electrical system, and engine troubleshooting provides a foundation for aircraft maintenance work.

How to prepare: Ask the FAA to evaluate documentary evidence of your military maintenance experience before choosing an Aviation Mechanic certificate route. Certification requires being at least 18 and able to read, write, speak, and understand English; 18 months of qualifying experience for one rating or 30 months concurrently performing duties for both, or completion of an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School or the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council course; and passing knowledge, oral, and practical tests.

What the civilian work involves
  • Read and interpret maintenance manuals, service bulletins, and other specifications to determine the feasibility and method of repairing or replacing malfunctioning or damaged components.
  • Maintain repair logs, documenting all preventive and corrective aircraft maintenance.
