Requirements analysis and system architecture software

Technology category · O*NET

Requirements analysis and system architecture software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 28 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 88th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Requirements analysis and system architecture software

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 28 occupations in occupations that use Requirements analysis and system architecture software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Electrical Engineers Computer and Information Research Scientists Computer User Support Specialists Information Security Analysts Network and Computer Systems Administrators Management Analysts AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Requirements analysis and system architecture software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Requirements analysis and system architecture software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 28.6% of the 28 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (8 roles).

Across those roles, 59.3% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 23.5% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.96 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
task iteration 30.5% you and AI go back and forth
learning 25.7% you ask AI to explain or teach
directive 22.3% AI does it; you give the instruction
validation 3.0% you do it; AI checks your work
feedback loop 1.3% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Computer and Information Systems Managers 67.7% 4.0/5
Management Analysts 62.4% 4.0/5
Electrical Engineers 45.2% 4.0/5
Microsystems Engineers 59.2% 4.0/5
Biomedical Engineers 68.7% 4.0/5
Aerospace Engineers 49.4% 3.0/5
Radio Frequency Identification Device Specialists 18.5% 4.0/5
Mechatronics Engineers 56.1% 4.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Requirements analysis and system architecture software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Requirements analysis and system architecture software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Requirements analysis and system architecture software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 4.4% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Requirements analysis and system architecture software (measured across 64 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 2,480,970 23.0%
Information 827,240 28.5%
Finance and Insurance 656,560 10.5%
Manufacturing 526,610 4.1%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 488,830 17.4%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 328,870 3.6%
Educational Services 284,610 2.1%
Wholesale Trade 258,540 4.3%
Health Care and Social Assistance 192,910 0.8%
Transportation and Warehousing 70,270 1.0%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 59,100 1.3%
Retail Trade 54,520 0.3%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Information Sector 6.48× 28.5%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 5.23× 23.0%
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 4.25× 18.7%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 3.95× 17.4%
Engineering Services National industry 3.75× 16.5%
Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities National industry 2.5× 11.0%
Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation National industry 2.48× 10.9%
Finance and Insurance Sector 2.39× 10.5%
Utilities Sector 2.11× 9.3%
Testing Laboratories and Services National industry 1.75× 7.7%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.27× 5.6%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 1.14× 5.0%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
