Why technology can change this work

  • systems can run standard modes autonomously and escalate only exceptions
  • AI generates design options and assists calculations
  • digital twins accelerate testing
  • routine documentation and component selection can be automated

What protects the occupation

  • recognizing dangerous situations and safely taking manual control
  • system reliability and safety accountability
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • real constraints of materials and equipment
  • integration of mechanics, electronics and software
