Problem
Traditional systems engineering relies on manual updates and isolated workflows, making it difficult for cross-functional teams to collaborate effectively. This often leads to communication breakdowns, increased error rates, and delays in identifying critical design flaws. Furthermore, maintaining compliance with regulatory standards becomes a cumbersome and time-consuming process.
Solution
Flow is a requirements management platform that integrates directly with design tools, providing end-to-end traceability from initial design to final release. It enables seamless collaboration among systems, hardware, and software engineers by offering a unified view of system requirements and interfaces in a "living systems graph." The platform connects requirements, design artifacts, CAD models, and test data, allowing teams to propose changes and run instant impact analysis across every dependency. Flow's AI agents propagate updates across requirements, issues, CAD models, and test artifacts, with live verification and validation tracking so teams can identify and address issues in real-time. The platform parameterizes text-based requirements into machine-readable checks, automating verification processes and ensuring continuous compliance.
Target Audience
Flow is designed for system engineers, chief engineers, and responsible engineers working in iterative teams within industries such as launch vehicles, satellites, aviation, nuclear, automotive, robotics, and medical devices. The platform serves both mid-sized hardware startups and enterprise organizations like Rivian with 1,000+ person engineering teams.
