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.

Computer Systems Engineers/Architects

Military experience defining requirements, planning system development, and coordinating engineering across the system life cycle transfers directly to computer systems engineering and architecture.

How to prepare: Build a non-sensitive architecture case study that translates customer requirements into component choices and a verification plan.

What the civilian work involves
  • Communicate with staff or clients to understand specific system requirements.
  • Investigate system component suitability for specified purposes, and make recommendations regarding component use.
  • Direct the analysis, development, and operation of complete computer systems.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Atlassian JIRA
