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.

First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers

Organizing equipment technicians and directly supervising AN/SPY 1 radar teams transfers to first-line supervision of electronics service and repair crews.

How to prepare: Build a work sample showing how you would assign an electronics service job, monitor technician workload, and verify completed work against equipment specifications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Monitor employees' work levels and review work performance.
  • Inspect, test, and measure completed work, using devices such as hand tools or gauges to verify conformance to standards or repair requirements.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Coordinating AEGIS functional integration, operation, and system interfaces provides relevant systems knowledge for commercial and industrial electronics repair.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on industrial electronics troubleshooting lab that includes fault isolation, equipment testing, and a repair log; the verified duty description establishes supervision and integration work, not specific hands-on repair proficiency.

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
