Core Skills

  • Transmitting set fault diagnosis and restoration
  • Built-in and special-purpose test equipment troubleshooting
  • Fault analysis using diagnostic programs and manuals

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

Troubleshooting radar and transmitting sets with test equipment, diagnostic programs, and technical manuals transfers directly to diagnosing faulty commercial electronic equipment.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on commercial electronics repair lab that covers fault diagnosis, repair, and post-repair testing on equipment beyond shipboard radar.

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

Transmitting set maintenance and test-based fault diagnosis provide a foundation for isolating malfunctions and verifying repairs in telecommunications equipment.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on telecommunications equipment course focused on circuit testing and verification of repaired telephone or data communications equipment.

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.
