Magitek Pilot - G warrior, armor core, mechwarrior, xenosaga/gears job. Can help smooth out late entry into the job by having mechanic npcs.

I caution using iconic stuff for the system, unless it ends up becoming an advanced job (has limited and normal components, may level abnormally). Anything iconic introduced should probably be overtuned initially and just seem like a ridiculous level of doting / "worth". For example, imo, Blue Mage was far from that when first released (a lot of really basic spells, spells were undertuned and had to quickly be buffed, etc)- I still think a few tweaks are needed*, but I imagine the reception of blue mage if released as it is now would have been less opposed (certainly some will always have wanted to main the job, and if not advanced, then not possible so those people would always be upset). If it's to be limited it should be borked in as much fun is possible lol (many of blue mage's later spells do this, but a lot of "120 potency, 200 potency" or hyper spammy early design, is not ideal for that).

*(early spells to be more exciting and encourage easier growth / diversity (not 1k spam, for example) - the later two waves of spells added have a lot more flavor and that flavor should re-inspire the earlier ones (avoiding "potency but a different color" sort of syndrome), adjustment to self-sustain through new earlier spells or perhaps built in healers mode to basic instinct, without making it too ridiculous checking for means to reduce cure spam when doing solo content / need to level past interesting spells with a poor kit so you can then go back unsync with a % chance to earn the more interesting ones, revisit self punishing skills (self stun, etc, ensure they espouse fun or have combos that do that at least), where possible revisit chance based spells so they're less spammy encouraged (like how ultravibration works, good spell design), ensure spells are either equal to their source or more fun than their source (this is better than even truly matching the source, imo) which means a few skills need to be revisited like Fire Angon (lost all the cool flavor), and perhaps Angel Whisper while basic instinct is active adds instant auto raise (instant to prevent messing up boss mechanics, will help it keep some of the neat title it had in other games- perhaps another buff, unrelated to basic instinct, being when raised you also temporarily have Warden's Paean effect),
