Electro-Optics Technician

You get certified on systems that are both electronic and optical — the IDF's navigation systems, thermal gear like night-vision devices, laser systems and other complex kit maintained by the Technology and Maintenance Corps' electro-optics technicians. Day to day you solder, inspect and repair electro-optical devices and electrical circuits, and measure them with test equipment. After a two-and-a-half-week course you're posted to the electro-optics plant or one of the corps' centers.

A two-and-a-half-week course.

At the corps' centers and the electro-optics plant (spread across the north, center and south of the country).

You come out with a lot of practical knowledge on complex optical systems — an in-demand trade in the defense industry and civilian industry alike.
