Work & culture
Product- and engineering-heavy culture focused on hard hardware problems, rapid iteration, and enterprise-grade reliability. Public posts emphasize shipping, technical depth, and close customer feedback loops.
Compensation
Public evidence is limited. Open roles include Senior/Staff Software Engineer (C++) and opportunistic applications, but no consistent public salary ranges were found in primary sources.
Product & market
Pricing
Enterprise software with cloud platform and on-premise deployment; public evidence also suggests a free tier and/or per-use pricing for the app platform.
Differentiators
- —physics-driven AI rather than LLM-based generation
- —automates PCB placement, routing, and verification end-to-end
- —integration with Altium, Cadence, Siemens/Xpedition, and KiCad
- —cloud, GovCloud, and on-premise deployment options
- —SOC 2 Type II compliance
- —generates multiple candidates and validates every trace
- —aims to reduce layout from weeks to hours
