You spend days obsessing over CAD tolerance stacks and combustion efficiency. Then you watch the test rig disintegrate because math isn't metal.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still smell when the prototype engine is about to explode before sensors trigger.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Generative design models replace your manual stress testing of intake manifold wall thicknesses.
Month 7
Smart software automatically generates bill of materials and links them directly to supplier APIs.
Month 15
High-fidelity physics engines predict hardware failure points far more accurately than your intuition.
Year 1.9
Autonomous agents resolve tolerance stack-up conflicts by negotiating directly with machining vendors.
