  • RF and high-power automated equipment testing
  • Electronic warfare circuit analysis and fault isolation
  • Airborne electronics repair and serviceability verification

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

CASS-based fault isolation, circuit analysis, and repair of airborne electronic warfare equipment transfer directly to avionics component troubleshooting and repair.

How to prepare: Target avionics component bench-repair openings and prepare examples showing how you isolated a fault, repaired the unit, and verified serviceability.

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.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Automated test equipment operation, circuit-level fault isolation, and post-repair verification transfer to diagnosing and testing industrial electronic equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a practical industrial electronics troubleshooting course that includes equipment setup and functional testing.

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.
  • Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
