From electromechanical engineer to sensor engineer
27 of the 42 essential skills of a sensor engineer are already essential for a electromechanical engineer — about 64% of the job, before you learn anything new.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a sensor engineer does
Sensor engineers design and develop sensors, sensor systems and products that are equipped with sensors. They plan and monitor the manufacture of these products.
