They function more or less as soldiers.  Why not implement them like marksdwarves, where when off duty they practice on the catapult range (a new building, like an archery target) and when on duty, man the catapults.

This would solve the dwarven citizen problem of not going outside and allow the artillery to not panic at the approach of goblins. AND let them wear armor for when the goblin archers try to pick them off.

This has been suggested before, but I think it would solve a lot of logistical defense problems.  When the siege comes, I can't get my siege operators to go up on top of my catapult tower without letting my haulers also go outside to scavenge the bodies.

Seconded, there is a lot of ground work needed before something like that, we just need to figure out what that work is.
