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

Intermediate-level maintenance of aircraft radar altimeter equipment transfers directly to the equipment-maintenance focus of civilian avionics work.

How to prepare: Compare your documented radar-altimeter maintenance experience with avionics bench-repair postings to identify testing and repair skills you need to demonstrate or develop.

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.
  • Keep records of maintenance and repair work.
