radio technician

Radio technicians install, adjust, test, maintain, and repair mobile or stationary radio transmitting and receiving equipment and two-way radio communications systems. They also monitor their performance and determine causes of faults.

The most in-demand skills for this role include electromagnetism, electronics principles, analog electronics theory, use a complex communication system, solder electronics, execute analytical mathematical calculations. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives radio technician a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
