62E1B Developmental Engineer, Astronautical: civilian jobs and resume guide
The O*NET Military Crosswalk connects this Developmental Engineer, Astronautical designation to Aerospace Engineers. Review each civilian direction's published work details, then keep only experience you can verify. The connection does not prove that you performed a mapped task.
About this designation: The source identifies this designation as Developmental Engineer, Astronautical. Its shared civilian crosswalk evidence does not establish which duties, tools, credentials, or level of responsibility you personally held.
These are the civilian occupations O*NET connects to this military code. They are options to explore—not a ranking, a license, or proof that you performed every duty listed.
Perform engineering duties in designing, constructing, and testing aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. May conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptability of materials and equipment to aircraft design and manufacture. May recommend improvements in testing equipment and techniques.
Typical national pay$106,110–$169,690Median $134,960 · BLS OEWS 2025
Pay can vary by location, employer, schedule, credentials, and experience.

Yours will not say this. It will say what you did, in your own words, and Rung writes it with you one question at a time.
Prepare before writing
Gather evidence from your actual work
Write private notes for yourself. Keep only facts you can explain and support.
The mapped civilian record lists this task: Formulate mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, evaluate, or modify design, according to customer engineering requirements. Identify comparable experience only if you can verify it.
Also examine this mapped civilian task: Plan or conduct experimental, environmental, operational, or stress tests on models or prototypes of aircraft or aerospace systems or equipment. Keep it only if your own service evidence supports it.
Capture scope or outcomes only when your own records support them.
Which parts of your Developmental Engineer, Astronautical experience can you support when considering the crosswalk direction Aerospace Engineers?
Fictional translation example
Put your experience into civilian language
Think of this as a translation, not a script. This fictional example keeps the same work facts while replacing military jargon with clear civilian wording.
Before
Fictional example: In my Developmental Engineer, Astronautical assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After
Fictional example: Supported [civilian work area] by [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
Why this wording is fair
Formulate mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, evaluate, or modify design, according to customer engineering requirements.
Plan or conduct experimental, environmental, operational, or stress tests on models or prototypes of aircraft or aerospace systems or equipment.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
