Electrical Engineers
How electrical engineers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Electrical Engineers is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: All 30 tools used by this occupation fall into UNSPSC Segment 43 (IT/software) with a digital prior of 0.85, featuring software like simulation and modeling tools. Top work activities heavily emphasize knowledge work, including Working with Computers (4.92), Documenting/Recording Information (4.54), and Analyzing Data (4.32). The work context is firmly anchored Indoors (4.70) and driven by E-Mail (4.87), indicating high-level, remotely-addressable desk work.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
The work of Electrical Engineers engages 41 activities — the executable steps that, decomposed, reveal what becomes Code, what stays Human.

Autonomous Agents as digital employees
Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Electrical Engineers performs 22 tasks on the graph — the atomic work units that become the job description for a digital employee, promoted to autonomy on track record.
+10 more via performs
Electrical Engineers is typically employed by 233 company types — the demand side that decides which of this role's tasks get handed to agents, and on what authority.
+221 more via typicallyEmploys
Electrical Engineers is employed across 149 settings — the places where this role's work is done, and where digital employees first sit beside the humans.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Electrical Engineers uses 79 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+67 more via usesTool
Electrical Engineers relies on 126 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
+114 more via uses
The software Electrical Engineers reaches for already exposes 1 agent-callable action (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
