From sensor engineer to microelectronics engineer
35 of the 45 essential skills of a microelectronics engineer are already essential for a sensor engineer — about 78% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from sensor 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.
