  • System interface testing and repair
  • Equipment and system alignment
  • Tactical and test radar console 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 Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Preventive and corrective radar maintenance, fault isolation, and system repair transfer directly to diagnosing and servicing industrial electronic equipment.

How to prepare: Practice an industrial equipment troubleshooting exercise that includes recording the fault, repair, and verification test in a maintenance management system.

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.
  • Maintain equipment logs that record performance problems, repairs, calibrations, or tests.
  • Set up and test industrial equipment to ensure that it functions properly.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Circuit evaluation software
  • Computerized maintenance management system CMMS

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Testing and aligning radar equipment and system interfaces using circuit diagrams provides a strong foundation for electronics test and troubleshooting work.

How to prepare: Complete a bench-testing project using a schematic to diagnose an electronic assembly and document its measured performance before and after repair.

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.
