Yes, and it is a moderate move. An electronic equipment assembler already covers 63% of what a marine electronics technician is expected to do: 41 skills carry over, 15 of which the marine electronics technician role treats as required.

5 required skills are missing, plus 26 optional ones. They fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by engineering, manufacturing and construction. The single most important is maritime electric drives.

Its learning distance is 48.8 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
