Core Skills

  • Fault isolation using circuit diagrams
  • Equipment and system interface alignment
  • Local and remote weapon control operation

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

Preventive and corrective maintenance, circuit-diagram troubleshooting, and equipment testing and alignment transfer directly to electronics maintenance and diagnostic work.

How to prepare: Build a troubleshooting work sample showing how you use a circuit diagram to isolate a fault, repair a training circuit, and verify its operation.

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.

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Experience isolating equipment faults with circuit diagrams and testing repaired systems provides a foundation for telecommunications equipment troubleshooting.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on telecommunications equipment course that includes circuit fault isolation and post-repair testing on communications hardware.

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.
