Filling my knowledge gaps coming from an aerospace engineering role. /u/Jdog131313 CSCQ protests reddit

I don’t know if this sub is the correct place to ask this, but I’m looking for some guidance on where to improve my skillset.

I have a masters degree in aerospace engineering from a top ranking school and currently work in a job that involves a lot of modeling and simulation work related to the space industry. I work mostly in python doing analyses, developing simulation tools, or data science type tasks. I know a bit of c++ and also some other common swe practice such as agile, git, and unix. My question is what gaps in my knowledge do I need to fill in order to get more swe focused roles in the future (still in the defense/ space industry).

Of course, my math background is sufficient, and I work with software every day, but I would not feel confident applying to roles that are titled as software engineer yet (my job is closer to a systems engineer). What can I do on my own over, say, the next 6 months to fill in the gaps? Thanks.
