This ranking compares tasks in occupation profiles. It does not predict job losses or describe your actual role.
The assessment
Explore possible uses of software AI, physical tasks and the role of human judgement. The index covers software AI only.
Software AI
Calculations, summaries and technical documentation can involve tools. Assumptions, source data and proposed results need appropriate validation.
Physical tasks
Tasks performed in a real place involve physical constraints. This task group does not prove that a robot can carry them out.
Human judgement and relationships
Framing the right problem and discussing result limitations give direction to calculations and trials.
These groups help you explore the occupation's tasks. They do not prove that a tool can perform them: working conditions, equipment and responsibilities also matter.
What will still make a difference
Beyond the index, these practical situations can help you reflect on what you bring to work and the skills you want to develop.
In the work itself
Set the assumptions
Define what a model represents, its parameters and the limits of its application.
Compare with trials
Compare theoretical results with measurements and investigate discrepancies.
Prepare implementation
Turn a solution into specifications compatible with industrial constraints.
In how you do it
Keep a critical eye
A precise calculation can rest on an unsuitable assumption. Documenting uncertainty distinguishes a research direction from a validated result.
Connect the tool to context
In your role, notice when you need to set the assumptions. A useful response depends on available information and what you need to verify.
Tasks in detail
A preview of the occupation’s tasks, arranged in the three groups above. Expand the full list to see everything.
Software AI
Concevoir des modèles théoriques (calcul, simulation, modélisation)
Créer, concevoir de nouveaux produits ou des améliorations produits
Physical tasks
Maîtriser les caractéristiques d'un produit ou d'un matériau
Mettre en oeuvre les processus et les modes opératoires techniques
The robotics potential of these tasks has not been assessed. Their inclusion here does not mean a robot can perform them.
Human judgement and relationships
Concevoir et animer une démarche d'innovation
Concevoir et coordonner un programme, un projet de recherche
Concevoir, conduire et vérifier des travaux d'analyse en laboratoire dans le respect des Bonnes Pratiques de Laboratoire (BPL)
An assessment alone is not enough to move forward
Jobiwan does not decide for you: your coach helps you connect this analysis with your experience, identify what sets you apart and test it in the real world.
Start with your reality
Your own situations, compared with the occupation’s assessment.
Identify what sets you apart
What matters to you, already a strength or something to develop, never a score.
Test it in the real world
A concrete first step chosen with your coach, followed by feedback a few days later.
A few days later
Your coach checks back to ask what that first step changed, in a conversation at your pace.
Jobiwan does more than give you an assessment of your occupation: it helps you understand what it means for you.
That is the occupation on paper. What about your daily work?
