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.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Operating AN/SLQ-32(V)6/7 systems with complex intercept techniques provides an equipment-operation foundation for moving into electronics testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electronics course covering schematic reading and diagnostic test equipment before targeting equipment-test technician openings.

What the civilian work involves
  • 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.

Notes & Sources

  • Verified C36A duties establish system operation, intercept analysis, and reporting experience, but not electronics repair or circuit-design experience.
