replaces board layouts with perfected thermal maps
You solder prototype boards and write firmware for industrial hardware. Your days are spent debugging hardware and firmware.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically troubleshoot a short circuit that defies every logical diagnostic sensor.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Sensors ingest every datasheet and schematic you have ever touched.
Month 5
Vision-guided arms take over the micro-soldering tasks you hate.
Month 13
Algorithms begin writing and optimizing your driver code autonomously.
Year 1.9
Virtual testing replaces physical breadboarding and oscilloscope debugging cycles.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The factory line configures itself without human input or oversight.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
