Design software
How design software are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 90% of the work in Design software 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: With no child occupations seeded, this scalar is derived from the PCF category lens and process name 'Design software'. The activity of designing software is entirely information-based and AI-native, consisting of coding and architecture tasks. Despite operating within the physical automotive manufacturing industry, the process itself is highly knowledge-based and remote-capable, placing it firmly in the digital band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Design software sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Design software inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Approved system requirements and functional specifications for a vehicle module or feature are handed over to the software engineering team.
- Review vehicle system and software requirements
- Define software architecture and data flows
- Design individual software components and modules
- Specify hardware-software interfaces and APIs
- Conduct design reviews and functional safety assessments
- Release documented design for implementation
Outcome: Detailed software architecture, module designs, and interface specifications are finalized, documented, and released for coding.
