Oh, you're replaced after me. Wait for these AI busybodies to design a motherboard better than anything you've ever put together.
Unless you do repairs. You have a bit of time before the robots come for you.

Oh absolutely, auto-router will get actually *good* after being pretty bad at solving the traveling salesmen. And actually take into consideration EMC rather than just jamming traces wherever.

But, I do a whole bunch of things including:
-Destructive analysis
-ESD Control for the factory
-Supplier quality control
-Explaining to people that, yes, having a circuitboard just on a table is bad and needs to be babied
-Building testing equipment
-Fixing testing equipment

I'm not worried for my personal job right now. There's enough keeping me going that I'm not going to get fired.

imagining other software engineers sticking chatgpt-generated code into their project gives me a warm feeling of immense job security thinking about how many inscrutable bugs they'll produce

Just ask ChatGPT to find the bugs, you can post the error codes into it :v)
