optimizes gate-level logic without human oversight
You spend your days mapping high-level algorithms to FPGA gate logic and debugging interrupt latency. You translate intent into instruction cycles that machines do better.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuit when a prototype feels like it will fail in production.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
AI-driven static analysis identifies and fixes syntax errors before you even hit save.
Month 4
Neural synthesis engines generate RTL code optimized for your target silicon automatically.
Month 10
Formal verification agents exhaustively test edge cases that human testbenches consistently overlook.
Month 16
Robotic test rigs cycle through hardware revisions, selecting the highest-performing architecture without feedback.
Year 2 · D-Day
The system self-optimizes at the physical layer, making human gate-level input entirely obsolete.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
