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

Diagnosing complex AN/SQQ-89 adjunct subsystem malfunctions and performing corrective and scheduled maintenance transfers directly to electronic equipment troubleshooting and repair.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electronics testing lab that practices diagnosing faults with standard test equipment and documenting repair verification.

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.
  • Identify and resolve equipment malfunctions, working with manufacturers or field representatives as necessary to procure replacement parts.

Computer Network Support Specialists

Operating and maintaining signal and display LANs within the adjunct subsystem provides a foundation for civilian network fault diagnosis.

How to prepare: Build a small Windows or Linux network lab and practice diagnosing connectivity faults while keeping a troubleshooting log.

What the civilian work involves
  • Identify the causes of networking problems, using diagnostic testing software and equipment.
  • Document network support activities.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Linux
