Core Skills

  • Systems planning across the equipment life cycle
  • Customer requirements translation into system design
  • New technology transition into existing systems

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.

Human Factors Engineers and Ergonomists

Military experience defining customer requirements and coordinating system design and verification transfers to evaluating how systems meet end-user needs.

How to prepare: Develop a human-factors case study that uses work observation and user interviews to identify requirements and propose a testable design improvement.

What the civilian work involves
  • Collect data through direct observation of work activities or witnessing the conduct of tests.
  • Conduct interviews or surveys of users or customers to collect information on topics, such as requirements, needs, fatigue, ergonomics, or interfaces.
  • Advocate for end users in collaboration with other professionals, including engineers, designers, managers, or customers.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Notes & Sources

  • Verified duties describe the broader 62E engineering field and identify the Systems/Industrial/Human Factors suffix, but do not establish experience conducting ergonomics studies or usability testing.
