Can this occupation migrate?
Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.
Electronics Engineer can be relevant to skilled and employer-sponsored pathways. Your actual options depend on age, English, qualifications, work history, the skills assessment, points, state nomination, and whether an employer can sponsor the position. A place on a list is not a grant.
