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.

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.

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Maintenance of multiband terminals and tactical data link equipment provides an electronics-maintenance foundation for work on commercial and industrial equipment.

How to prepare: Take a practical industrial-electronics troubleshooting course that includes diagnosing faulty units and documenting repairs and tests.
