Overview

Electrical and Electronic Engineers plan and implement projects within their technical specialties. They apply advanced engineering skills and knowledge to technology used in operations.

Minimum clearance: Top Secret

Core Skills

  • Systems engineering across the equipment lifecycle
  • Customer requirements translation into system plans
  • New technology transition into existing systems
  • Technical coordination of production and verification

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 Engineers

Electrical/electronic specialty experience planning system design, manufacturing, sustainment, and modification transfers to electrical system development and implementation.

How to prepare: Build a non-sensitive electrical system work sample that traces customer requirements through design decisions and a verification plan.

What the civilian work involves
  • Design, implement, maintain, or improve electrical instruments, equipment, facilities, components, products, or systems for commercial, industrial, or domestic purposes.
  • Direct or coordinate manufacturing, construction, installation, maintenance, support, documentation, or testing activities to ensure compliance with specifications, codes, or customer requirements.
  • Operate computer-assisted engineering or design software or equipment to perform engineering tasks.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Autodesk AutoCAD
  • The MathWorks MATLAB

Electronics Engineers, Except Computer

Electrical/electronic specialty experience coordinating engineering development, production, verification, and technology transitions transfers to electronic system evaluation and modification.

How to prepare: Prepare a non-sensitive electronic subsystem design review showing requirements, design tradeoffs, and how technical adequacy would be verified.

What the civilian work involves
  • Evaluate project work to ensure effectiveness, technical adequacy, or compatibility in the resolution of complex electronics engineering problems.
  • Direct or coordinate activities concerned with manufacture, construction, installation, maintenance, operation, or modification of electronic equipment, products, or systems.
  • Confer with engineers, customers, vendors, or others to discuss existing or potential electronics engineering projects or products.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Python
  • The MathWorks MATLAB
