Work can include installing, troubleshooting, repairing, testing any of the electronic systems and wiring used in an aircraft or space vehicle.
Avionics can include communication systems such as radio, navigation systems like radar and aircraft instrumentation, as well as missile control systems in military crafts and passenger entertainment systems on commercial airplanes.
Job titles related to avionics can include avionics technician or bench technician or avionics engineer. An avionics technician works directly on an aircraft while a bench technician makes repairs and adjustments to equipment that has been removed and taken to a shop.
