Problem
Designing circuit boards is a time-consuming and error-prone process, often consuming a significant portion of an electrical engineer's time. Traditional electronics design automation tools have not kept pace with the increasing complexity of circuit board design, leading to delays and increased costs.
Solution
Quilter offers an AI-powered PCB design automation platform that accelerates the hardware development cycle. By leveraging reinforcement learning and physics-based simulations, Quilter automates component placement, trace routing, and stackup optimization. The platform enables engineers to generate multiple design candidates in hours, not weeks, while ensuring designs meet manufacturing constraints and performance requirements. Quilter integrates with existing ECAD tools, allowing engineers to upload schematics and board files, define constraints, and download fab-ready designs.
Target Audience
Quilter targets electrical engineers, PCB designers, product managers, and R&D leaders in industries such as aerospace, robotics, and defense who need to accelerate hardware development and reduce time-to-market.
