I had the experience other way around. I did my graduate degree developing solvers and algorithms to analyze mechanical and civil structures. Heck, I even did TA for one of these grad level courses. However, when it was time to find a job, software screening cleared me but it was impossible to find a job because I could not convince the HR and hiring manager that I have the necessary experience using softwares that run such algorithms to design structures. I would happily adapt a software system that has less bias (or atleast bias normalized from different viewpoints and quantified) that having to deal with human bias that is not easily identifiable or quantifiable. Also such human bias is particularly harsh against poor and marginalized groups.
