Domain

Heavy manufacturing / Industrial maintenance

Deliverable

production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: Correcting to 'physical/clinical work' is incorrect based on the schema options. The options are: production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work. This role is about physical equipment. I will map 'physical/clinical work' as the closest fit for hands-on equipment work, or better yet, since the schema is strict, I must choose from the list. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one involving physical objects. However, this is a stretch. Let's re-read the schema options. 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This role is about physical equipment. I will use 'physical/clinical work' as the only option involving physical assets, though it's semantically imperfect for industrial machinery. Actually, looking at the other options, none fit perfectly. I will select 'physical/clinical work' as the intended category for hands-on physical asset management in this specific schema constraint, or perhaps the schema implies 'infrastructure' for plant systems? No, 'infrastructure' usually means cloud/network. 'physical/clinical work' is the best fit for 'working directly on production equipment'.)
