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.
What carries over
13 skillsEssential in both jobs. This is the part of the move you have already made.
What would be new
26 skillsEssential for a microsystem engineer and not for a instrumentation engineer. Note that the taxonomy describes activities rather than tools, so some of these may be things you already do under a different name.
