im imagining if you had a couple parts picked, an llm could follow the reference designs quite well and pick relevant parts and lay them out.

maybe not in the best way, but from a post here last week or so, somebody has written an altium mcp, from which i assume a bunch of the timing and capacitor checks could be run.

maybe not anything particularly high tech, but enough to let mechanical engineers put together test boards without needing to get too far into the electrical discipline
