Problem
Hardware engineers face time-consuming and repetitive tasks in PCB development, including component selection, wiring, and design reviews. Existing electronic design automation (EDA) tools often require extensive manual effort, hindering rapid prototyping and efficient collaboration. Starting from scratch for each new project further exacerbates these inefficiencies.
Solution
Flux is a collaborative, browser-based platform for electronic design that leverages an AI Copilot to accelerate PCB development. The platform automates repetitive tasks, such as wiring and impedance control, and provides a library of reusable components and project templates. Flux enables real-time collaboration, allowing teams to review designs, provide feedback, and maintain a single source of truth without software downloads. By streamlining the design process and reducing busywork, Flux empowers hardware engineers to focus on innovation and accelerate time to market.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hardware engineers, PCB designers, and electronic design teams seeking to accelerate their design process and improve collaboration.
