AI-driven engineering workflows and wireless technology trends
From 2026 to 2030, advances in AI and wireless communications are expected to reshape core areas of engineering work. Agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol may simplify workflows by standardising how tools, data and prompts are shared. Hybrid non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks are moving into wider deployment, creating new design and integration tasks. AI is also accelerating changes in embedded software, including virtual sensing, and AI-based reduced order modelling is expected to spread in simulation and design.
