Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

A CASS Family of Testers Advanced Maintenance and Calibration technician performs scheduled maintenance, including online calibration, certification, lubrication, and cleaning. The technician also conducts diagnostic troubleshooting, in-depth maintenance, and software analysis on associated CASS automated test equipment.

Core Skills

  • Automated test equipment software analysis
  • On-line test station calibration and certification
  • Diagnostic troubleshooting of automated testers

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 Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

CASS automated test equipment troubleshooting, software analysis, calibration, and scheduled maintenance transfer directly to industrial electronic equipment repair.

How to prepare: Practice documenting a civilian equipment troubleshooting exercise in a maintenance log, including the fault, diagnostic tests, repair, and verification results.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test faulty equipment to diagnose malfunctions, using test equipment or software, and applying knowledge of the functional operation of electronic units and systems.
  • Maintain equipment logs that record performance problems, repairs, calibrations, or tests.
  • Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS

Electro-Mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians

Maintaining and diagnosing CASS automated test equipment provides a foundation for testing and repairing electromechanical equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electromechanical troubleshooting lab that includes testing an assembly and verifying operation after repair.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning.
