Where a microelectronics designer can go next

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

Microelectronics designers focus on developing and designing microelectronic systems, from the top packaging level down to the integrated circuit level. Their knowledge incorporates system-level understanding with analogue and digital circuit knowledge, with integrating the technology processes and an overall outlook in microelectronic sensor basics. They work with other engineers, material science specialists and researchers, to enable innovations and continuous development of already existing devices.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a microelectronics designer 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.
