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

AN/GPN-30 organizational maintenance, trouble analysis, and test-equipment use transfer directly to diagnosing electronic equipment malfunctions.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on industrial electronics troubleshooting lab to practice fault isolation on equipment beyond the AN/GPN-30.

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

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Radar trouble analysis and general and special-purpose test-equipment use provide a foundation for isolating faults and verifying repairs in telecommunications equipment.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on telecommunications equipment course covering circuit diagrams, component fault isolation, and post-repair testing.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
