Perspectiva de entrada

Entry-level positions (such as basic drafting and simple inspection) have significantly reduced demand because AI can efficiently complete them; However, the threshold for composite positions (such as AI-assisted design and automated diagnostics) has risen, requiring programming and systems thinking.

🚀 Como evoluir na era da IA

Shifting from traditional mapping/inspection to AI-driven design optimization, digital twin operations and maintenance, and automation system integration. Learn programming and data analysis, master machine learning tools, participate in cross-departmental projects (such as drones, electric aviation), and gradually become a system-level engineer or technical expert.
