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 Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Supervised organizational-level maintenance and equipment checkouts on submarine navigation systems transfer to civilian electronics maintenance and performance testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electronics testing lab focused on reading schematics and using test equipment to diagnose equipment malfunctions.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
  • Read blueprints, wiring diagrams, schematic drawings, or engineering instructions for assembling electronics units, applying knowledge of electronic theory and components.

Calibration Technologists and Technicians

Navigation system calibration and equipment checkouts provide a foundation for civilian calibration testing and performance verification.

How to prepare: Take a practical calibration workshop that includes comparing measurements to known standards and analyzing test data.

What the civilian work involves
  • Analyze test data to identify defects or determine calibration requirements.
  • Conduct calibration tests to determine performance or reliability of mechanical, structural, or electromechanical equipment.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
