# Arena Physica

> Arena Physica is a New York-based AI company building 'electromagnetic superintelligence' - AI systems grounded in applied physics that accelerate the design, testing, and optimization of advanced hardware. Its Atlas platform and Heaviside foundation model predict electromagnetic behavior from geometry in milliseconds, claiming roughly 800,000x faster results than commercial solvers, and are used by hardware leaders across semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and defense.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** New York, New York, United States
- **Founders:** Pratap Ranade (CEO & Co-Founder), Engin Ural (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~160 employees (Apollo); ~40+ named team members on company site
- **Products:** Atlas, Atlas RF Studio (Beta), Heaviside, Atlas Edge
- **Notable:** Launched Atlas, an AI hardware engineer, in April 2025., Raised a $30M Series B in 2025, bringing total funding to $62M., Built Heaviside, a foundation model for electromagnetics, predicting EM behavior ~800,000x faster than commercial solvers.

## Products & services

- **Atlas** — An AI hardware engineer grounded in applied physics that accelerates testing, debugging, and optimization across the hardware stack, beginning with electrical and RF engineering.
- **Atlas RF Studio (Beta)** — A lightweight instance of the Atlas platform for AI-driven RF component design, powered by a research preview of the company's foundation model for electromagnetics.
- **Heaviside** — A physics-native foundation model for electromagnetism trained on millions of designs and 20+ years of proprietary simulation data. The Heaviside-0 forward model predicts S-parameters from geometry in ~13ms, roughly 800,000x faster than a commercial solver.
- **Atlas Edge** — Announced direction to deploy the Atlas platform directly onto machines, enabling self-diagnosis and self-repair of hardware in the field.

## Achievements
