Where a optomechanical engineering technician can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a optomechanical engineering technician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Optomechanical engineering technicians collaborate with engineers in the development of optomechanical devices, such as optical tables, deformable mirrors, and optical mounts. Optomechanical engineering technicians build, install, test, and maintain optomechanical equipment prototypes. They determine materials and assembly requirements.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from optomechanical engineering technician. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a optomechanical engineering technician already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a optomechanical engineering technician already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
