optimises thermal airflow in real-time
You design complex circuit boards and debug signal integrity issues on physical prototypes. Your existence is basically expensive troubleshooting.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically feel when a trace is too close to a heat source.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Generative AI creates your board layouts based on performance constraints.
Month 7
Software predicts signal noise before you even touch a scope.
Month 15
Automated cells print and test prototypes without human lab interference.
Year 1.9
Supply chain algorithms order parts before you think you need them.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
Your access card stops working and the printer becomes the engineer.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
