Overview

An Interior Communications Electrician apprentice performs entry level tasks equivalent to those of the IC rating during the training continuum. This apprentice develops knowledge and skills in basic electricity, electronics, diodes, microprocessors, programmable logic controllers, and associated devices and subsystems.

Core Skills

  • Diode and microprocessor electronics fundamentals
  • Programmable logic controller fundamentals

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

V000's entry-level knowledge of electricity, diodes, and microprocessors provides a foundation for electronic component testing and equipment repair.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electronics lab course covering schematic reading, test equipment use, and component fault diagnosis before targeting junior technician openings.

What the civilian work involves
  • Replace defective components or parts, using hand tools and precision instruments.
  • 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.

Robotics Technicians

V000's microprocessor and programmable logic controller fundamentals overlap with the electronic control knowledge used in robotic systems.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on industrial robotics course that includes PLC programming, sensor troubleshooting, and robot peripheral maintenance.

What the civilian work involves
  • Make repairs to robots or peripheral equipment, such as replacement of defective circuit boards, sensors, controllers, encoders, or servomotors.
  • Troubleshoot robotic systems, using knowledge of microprocessors, programmable controllers, electronics, circuit analysis, mechanics, sensor or feedback systems, hydraulics, or pneumatics.
  • Install, program, or repair programmable controllers, robot controllers, end-of-arm tools, or conveyors.

Notes & Sources

  • The verified V000 description establishes entry-level electronics knowledge, not advanced PLC programming or robotic maintenance experience.
