Where a satellite engineer can go next

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

Satellite engineers develop, test and oversee the manufacture of satellite systems and satellite programmes. They may also develop software programs, collect and research data, and test the satellite systems. Satellite engineers can also develop systems to command and control satellites. They monitor satellites for issues and report on the behaviour of the satellite in orbit.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a satellite engineer 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.
