Why the hell would you want to transition out of one of the niches that are the least vulnerable to AI? There aren't going to be any LLMs in your lifetime that can figure out when the vendor's datasheet is lying to you or whether an issue is an electrical glitch, bug in the hardware, or an actual software bug.

Yep that's true, on the other hand the trend I've been seeing in the last months is worrying me, in that the company I'm working for and other adjacent ones, the focus is to hand off the development to "managed agents" or whatever, relegating embedded engineers to basically just V&V or QA. The increase in crap code has been duly reported by employees such as me and promptly discarded, considered just FUD by upper management
