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

Direct supervision of AEGIS technicians and assistance with equipment maintenance scheduling transfer to supervising civilian electronics maintenance teams.

How to prepare: Build a sample civilian maintenance work plan showing technician assignments, equipment maintenance intervals, and completed-work checks.

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
  • Microsoft Project

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Coordinating the functional integration and operation of AEGIS equipment and its interfaces provides relevant system-level experience for civilian electronics maintenance and testing.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on electronics troubleshooting lab that includes schematic reading, test-equipment setup, and fault isolation to demonstrate practical skills beyond the documented supervisory duties.

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.
