Challenge early AI concepts
Bring actual workflows, user needs and industrial constraints into the discussion before an AI team commits to a product direction.
Review engineering decisions
Review concepts, features or AI-generated decisions. Explain what is sound, what is missing and where another discipline changes the answer.
Make experience teachable
Turn practical situations into tasks, reference answers and evaluation criteria, with the assumptions and reasoning made explicit.
Provide human engineering oversight
Review, validate or correct engineering agent actions within an agreed scope. Surface plausible errors, missing context and practical consequences.
Explore workflows, R&D and field trials
Assess how an AI tool fits real industrial work. Where suitable, explore prototype trials or collaborative R&D with an agreed scope, site permission and success criteria.
