I think there's a possibility for a SW-developer, but I wonder whether that's even possible for other branches. If you don't have the required background (sufficiently advanced university degree) then you just don't have the knowledge. I can imagine that if you really work on high-tech engineering, you need a solid background of physics, engineering, math etc. You can't just learn that on the job, or better, expect people to learn it on the job.
