Use language like “Typical responsibilities may include” or “You may be involved in”. That is acceptable as general industry-standard phrasing, not presenting as confirmed facts. Must not invent specific facts like specific projects, technologies not implied. We can mention mechanical design, analysis, testing, collaboration, etc. That’s typical.
