1 Share of the embedded systems 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.

Why

Why this move works

A embedded systems software developer role treats 12 of its required skills as things a embedded systems security engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • Internet of Things
  • computer programming
  • create flowchart diagram
  • debug software
  • develop ICT device driver
  • develop software prototype

What stands in the way is 4 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A embedded systems 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 develop ICT device driver working with computers
  • 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)

All 16 carried skills, including the 12 the embedded systems software developer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 60 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
