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

Scheduled and unscheduled upkeep of E-6B mission and avionics systems directly overlaps with civilian aircraft electronics maintenance.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on civilian avionics troubleshooting lab focused on circuit testers, oscilloscopes, and component replacement.

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.

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

E-6B mission-system upkeep and voice and data communications knowledge provide a foundation for maintaining civilian telecommunications equipment.

How to prepare: Take a practical telecommunications equipment course that includes circuit fault isolation and post-repair testing on civilian voice and data systems.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
  • Assemble and install communication equipment such as data and telephone communication lines, wiring, switching equipment, wiring frames, power apparatus, computer systems, and networks.
