electronics draftertointegrated circuit design engineer
A electronics drafter already meets 81% of what the integrated circuit design engineer role asks for. The move turns on 3 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 21.8 of 100 · adjacent
1 Share of the integrated circuit design engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electronics drafter profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A integrated circuit design engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electronics drafter background worth leading with.
- already held electronic components engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held customise drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held design electronic systems communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held review drafts communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held integrated circuits engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held use manual draughting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
All 29 carried skills, including the 14 the integrated circuit design engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 7 missing skills fall into 3 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held integrated circuit types required
- required, not held semiconductors required
- optional, not held LED lighting components optional
- optional, not held battery management systems optional
- required, not held design integrated circuits required
- optional, not held monitor system performance optional
- optional, not held test electronic units optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a integrated circuit design engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 integrated circuit types knowledge · sector specific
- 02 design integrated circuits skill · cross sector
- 03 semiconductors knowledge · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
