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

E-2C organizational maintenance of mission computers, navigation equipment, radar, and digital communications directly overlaps aircraft electronics maintenance.

How to prepare: Complete a practical familiarization course on a civilian aircraft avionics suite, focusing on its maintenance manual and component test procedures.

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.
  • Set up and operate ground support and test equipment to perform functional flight tests of electrical and electronic systems.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Maintenance of E-2C mission computers, radar, and electrical systems provides transferable experience for electronics equipment maintenance and test-support work.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on electronics bench-testing course that includes schematic interpretation and component-level fault diagnosis.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • Replace defective components or parts, using hand tools and precision instruments.
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
