ICT application configuratortoembedded systems software developer

A ICT application configurator already meets 81% of what the embedded systems software developer role asks for. The move turns on 4 required skills not yet in the profile.

1 Share of the embedded systems software developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT application configurator 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 ICT application configurator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT debugging tools
  • analyse software specifications
  • computer programming
  • create flowchart diagram
  • debug software
  • 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 63 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 ICT application configurator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held Xcode information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held use concurrent programming working with computers
  • already held use functional programming working with computers
  • already held KDevelop information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held develop automated migration methods management skills
  • already held use logic programming working with computers

All 63 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 13 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.

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

8 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.
