As an electronic warfare technician, your job is to test and monitor a threat environment and help program EW countermeasures. In this role, you may take part in electronic military operations, give briefings on threats, provide tactical advice, and monitor the development of enemy EW capabilities. Electronic warfare technicians often help develop EW policies and procedures, coordinate support missions, and perform other duties as assigned. Many electronic warfare technicians work for one of the branches of the United States Military, either directly or as an outside contractor, and this can impact many aspects of the job. For example, employers may ask you to live on a military base or travel to combat zones to manage electronic warfare better.
