And, If those jobs don't fit the bill, here are just a few more of the careers at Robins Air Force Base:

Aircraft Electrician: This standard is used to grade nonsupervisory work involved in installing, troubleshooting, adjusting, testing, modifying, calibrating and repairing aircraft electrical systems and equipment on board conventional and non-conventional aircraft such as electrical power control and distribution systems, lighting systems, refueling and fuel quantity indicating systems, electrical warning, controlling, and actuating circuits, and tying-in power and control circuits for functional systems, such as hydraulics, armament, radar, engines, and fire suppression. The work is characterized by the need to understand the functional characteristics and relationships of various electrical systems and equipment on aircraft.

Aircraft Engine Mechanic: This standard provides grading criteria for all nonsupervisory work performing maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, overhaul, modification, and testing of conventional, modified, and experimental aircraft engines, their components, assemblies and subassemblies. This standard also covers work involving engine accessories such as starters, generators, anti-icers, and fuel control devices when such assignments are incidental to work on the completed engine. Some work situations within this series may require varying levels of electronics knowledge.

Pneudraulic Systems Mechanic: This standard covers nonsupervisory work involved in the repair, modification, test, and maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components that actuate mechanisms or produce, control, and regulate fluid flow. The work requires knowledge of the physical principles governing the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) as they pertain to hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components; knowledge of basic electrical and mechanical principles; knowledge of repair procedures, methods, and trade practices; the ability to test for and isolate malfunctions in hydraulic and pneumatic systems or components; and the skill to disassemble, repair, and reassemble such devices. Mechanics work on many different work units at various times and may rotate from modifying, repairing, and rebuilding to testing and troubleshooting assignments.

Non-Destructive Tester: This occupation includes jobs involved in the nondestructive examination of metals, composites, ceramics, plastics, and other materials for internal and external structural defects, delaminations, corrosion, and moisture penetration using magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, eddy current, radiographic, ultrasonic, or other types of nondestructive test processes and equipment. The work includes equipment setup, operation, adjustment, and evaluation or interpretation of test readings or results within established parameters for acceptance or rejection. This occupation does not include jobs that primarily require: (1) journey level knowledge and skill of the work processes involved in producing or repairing the items or materials tested; or (2) technical knowledge of engineering, physical, or other sciences in the direct support of laboratory or research operations.

Machinist: This standard covers nonsupervisory work involved in the manufacture of parts and items of equipment from castings, forgings, and other raw stocks made of various metals, metal alloys, and other materials, and/or machining operations required in the repair of such items. The work requires the use of various types of conventional and/or computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools and their attachments to perform machining operations in the repair and/or manufacture of parts from raw stock. The work performed by machine tool operators requires basic knowledge of machining processes and skill in performing machining operations such as boring, drilling, planing, milling, and turning on milling machines, radial, or multiple spindle drill presses, shapers, planers, lathes, or equivalent types of conventional and/or CNC machine tools. The work performed by machinists requires skill in the initial planning of necessary work sequences, laying out reference points and lines to be followed in the machining processes, planning for and setting up the work in the machine, sometimes programming the cutter path, selecting and shaping metal cutting tools and inserts, operating all types of machine tools, and performing precision handwork to fit, finish, and assemble machined parts and equipment. The work also requires knowledge of the makeup of blueprints and drawings and the skill necessary to interpret them; and skill in working from other types of specifications such as sketches, models of parts to be manufactured, or work orders.

Composite Fabricator: This job grading standard covers nonsupervisory jobs involved in the repair, fabrication, modification, removal, and installation of composite and/or plastic items, parts, assemblies, and structures.

Electronics Engineer: This series covers positions managing, supervising, leading, and/or performing professional engineering and scientific work involving electronic circuits, circuit elements, equipment, systems, and associated phenomena concerned with electromagnetic or acoustical wave energy or electrical information for purposes such as communication, computation, sensing, control, measurement, and navigation.

Electronics Technician: This series covers positions that require: (1) the knowledge of the techniques and theories characteristic of electronics such as a knowledge of basic electricity and electronic theory, algebra, and elementary physics; (2) the ability to apply that knowledge to duties involved in engineering functions such as design, development, evaluation, testing, installation and maintenance of electronic equipment; and (3) a knowledge of the capabilities, limitations, operations, design characteristics, and functional use of a variety of types and models of electronic equipment and systems. Such knowledge is related to but less than a full professional knowledge of electronics engineering.
