The Army describes 15N Avionic Mechanic as the Soldier who helps keep Army aircraft and equipment safe and up to date by maintaining tactical communications, communications security, navigation, and flight control equipment, and by conducting inspections and maintenance according to safety procedures. Civilians call this avionics technician work, which is why avionics technicians and aerospace engineering and operations technicians are among this page's matches.

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
