Frequently asked questions

What is MOEM?

Micro-opto-electro-mechanics (MOEM) combines microelectronics, microoptics and micromechanics in the development of MEM devices with optical features, such as optical switches, optical cross-connects, and microbolometers.

What category of skill is MOEM?

ESCO classifies MOEM under the knowledge category, specifically in the electronics and automation subcategory.

How transferable is MOEM between industries?

ESCO tags MOEM as a sector-specific (rooted in one industry) skill — a signal of how portable it is when you change field.

Is MOEM the same as optical switches?

Yes — MOEM is also known as optical switches, microbolometers, microoptoelectromechanics, micro opto-electromechanics, optical cross-connects, micro opto electro mechanics, integrated mechanical, optical, and electrical systems, or micro-opto-electro-mechanics. They refer to the same underlying capability in the ESCO taxonomy.

How can I learn MOEM?

The most reliable path is to pick a job or project that demands MOEM and learn through delivery. Complement that with role-specific roadmaps and short courses. Explore the occupations below to see where this skill is used in practice.
