1 Share of the battery simulation engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the battery maintenance technician 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.

Why

Why this move works

A battery simulation engineer role treats 3 of its required skills as things a battery maintenance technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • mechanical engineering
  • perform product testing
  • troubleshoot

What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A battery simulation engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a battery maintenance technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform product testing information skills
  • already held mechanical engineering engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held troubleshoot communication, collaboration and creativity

All 3 carried skills, including the 3 the battery simulation engineer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Skill to acquire Tier
01 information and communication technologies (icts) 4 required
  • required, not held Python (computer programming) required
  • required, not held algorithms required
  • required, not held computer programming required
  • required, not held computer science required
02 information skills 4 required
  • required, not held develop predictive models required
  • required, not held inspect data required
  • required, not held process data required
  • required, not held run simulations required
03 natural sciences, mathematics and statistics 1 required
  • required, not held physics required
04 engineering, manufacturing and construction 1 supplementary
  • optional, not held battery design optional

The 3 entries a battery simulation engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
