1 Share of the industrial mobile devices software developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the embedded systems security engineer 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A industrial mobile devices software developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a embedded systems security engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held embedded systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held create flowchart diagram communication, collaboration and creativity
already held use software design patterns communication, collaboration and creativity
already held use software libraries working with computers
already held software anomalies information and communication technologies (icts)
already held design user interface communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 10 the industrial mobile devices software developer role treats as required.

Note

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.
