STEER is the helmsman, not an operator.
You have to be able to communicate effectively to be an operator. All STEER can do is monosyllabic yelling, getting combat instructions from her would be a fucking nightmare.

Isn't the dead rating of operators a bit high? May be I'm wrong but I certainly feel like I've seen more operators die than pilots.

The only people with more death rating than operators are faceless soldiers and civilians.

I've got like zero knowledge about military stuff, are operators as we see in mecha actually grounded in real life?

>>14824256
Do you mean operators as in operators of /k/ stuff (slang term) or operators of heavy equipment?
Because the latter is as blue collar as any other occupation.

>You never get a soft spoken female EWACS operator
Guess that wouldn't be realistic, which is what Ace Combat aims for with your Belkan Peace Machines and flying 5th gen gets through tunnels

>>14824256
Operators aren't military. They're the guys who sit in control rooms and read gauges and panels and radio you to purge the volatile gas or there will be an explosion. Essentially the engineers off Star Trek but with more swearing.

Military have their own operators

It only really makes sense in the context of a ship's bridge, where you actually need a bunch of people to monitor the ship's systems, tactical displays, and comms. Ground forces will often have a Tactical Operations Center set up at the battalion level, where a bunch of guys will monitor comms with the battalion's constituent companies. As far as the common depiction in anime goes--where there are cute girls chatting with the protagonist while he engages in the manly art of punching things with giant robot fists--you won't see it.

That is why people don't join the military anymore.

>Military have their own operators
Their own slang definition of an operator. Guys who pack weapons in the field are called operators.

Industry (and the military too) have people whose job it is to thoroughly understand, monitor, and maintain heavy equipment; whether it's reactors/turbines/boilers/vehicles and the systems therein that are connected.
It's not going to be a blonde qt3.14 shouting encouraging words through a headset. Japan is just stupid and don't know better.
