photonics engineer (EN)
ISCO 2149 · v1.2.1
Photonics engineers are concerned with the generation, transmission, transformation, and detection of light. They conduct research, design, assemble, test and deploy photonic components or systems in multiple application fields, from optical communications to medical instrumentation, material processing or sensing technology.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
