Air Force Electrical Job

Working as a member of the electrical division in the Air Force doesn’t necessarily mean hooking in a computer and waiting for software to install. These men and women serve our country every day working on weather systems, providing information to pilots, handling missile systems, and keeping avionics systems operating properly.

Job Duties
Regardless of what you believe about the Air Force, there are a number of jobs they’re always hiring for. They’re currently recruiting people every day to work in electronics and handle any number of different systems. While the only standard job duty is following orders, each of these workers will be acting in a support capacity to keep complex electrical and technical systems running throughout wartime conditions.

Some of the jobs available for the electrical division are airborne communications systems, space systems, and bomber avionics systems. That’s not all, though. Those working for the Air Force’s electronics are also involved with work at missile and space facilities, in cyber transport, ground radar, and at airfields. Although these jobs are wide and varied, the common thread is technology. Each of these jobs requires precision, a bit of intelligence, and a knack for working with computers. Any other training necessary will be provided by the Air Force.

Job Qualifications and Compensation
As with any other job in the military, there are certain ASVAB test scores important to working in an electrical Air Force Specialty Code, or AFSC, in the Air Force. The core knowledge necessary includes arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, electronics information, and general science. Of course, beyond physical fitness, age, and citizenship status, you will also need to make it through basic training before you pick your AFSC. Each AFSC requires a varied amount of training, but it is typically a few months in addition to basic training. Another qualification for anyone working actively on a base or outside the country is commitment of a few years on active duty with several more on reserve duty.

Of course, with all these requirements, there has to be a bright side. In the military, the benefits tend to outweigh any qualms potential recruits might have. They provide comprehensive healthcare, the chance to travel, vacation leave, and valuable work experience to help you find a job even in a rough economy. Although pay varies by rank and experience, even basic Airmen are paid well.
