From electromechanical engineer to microsystem engineer
29 of the 39 essential skills of a microsystem engineer are already essential for a electromechanical engineer — about 74% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from electromechanical engineer in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a microsystem engineer does
Microsystem engineers research, design, develop, and supervise the production of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which can be integrated in mechanical, optical, acoustic, and electronic products.
