From microelectronics engineer to sensor engineer
35 of the 42 essential skills of a sensor engineer are already essential for a microelectronics engineer — about 83% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from microelectronics engineer in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.
