Avionics Technician

As an Avionics Technician, you look after the electronic systems inside aircraft - the systems that help the plane navigate, the radios pilots use to talk to air traffic control, and the computers that help the plane fly smoothly. These systems are critical, so your work has to be precise and safe.

You spend time checking that all the electronics are working correctly. If something goes wrong, you use special tools to work out what the problem is, then you fix it or replace the broken part. You work closely with engineers and pilots, and you keep careful records of everything you do. The work is hands-on and technical - you need to understand how circuits work and be good at solving problems under pressure.
