Quilter
"Physics-Driven AI for Electronics Design"
Physics-driven AI platform that automates PCB placement and routing from schematic to fabrication-ready layout in hours, not weeks.
Quilter, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA, is an AI software company that automates printed circuit board (PCB) design using physics-driven reinforcement learning. Founded by Sergiy Nesterenko, a former SpaceX engineer, Quilter's platform trains on the first principles of physics — electromagnetics and thermodynamics — rather than human-generated layouts, enabling fully autonomous placement and routing. The system generates and evaluates millions of potential layouts to optimize for performance, manufacturability, and cost.
Quilter integrates with industry-standard EDA tools including Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, and Siemens Xpedition. In December 2025, Quilter unveiled the world's first fully AI-designed computer (Project Speedrun), completing an 843-part Linux computer system that booted on the first try, using 38.5 hours of human labor versus 428 hours quoted by professional PCB designers. The company raised $25 million Series B in October 2025, led by Index Ventures, bringing total funding to $40 million.
Quilter serves aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and consumer electronics sectors.
