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

CIWS experience maintaining signal processors, isolating faults with circuit diagrams, and testing and aligning equipment and interfaces transfers directly to electronics diagnostic and repair work.

How to prepare: Complete a civilian electronics bench exercise that uses a schematic to isolate a fault, replace the defective component, and document post-repair test results.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • 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.
