Quilter
Quilter is a Los Angeles-based company building the first fully autonomous, physics-driven AI for printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Founded in 2019 by former SpaceX avionics engineer Sergiy Nesterenko, Quilter trains reinforcement-learning agents on the laws of physics - not human design patterns - to place components, route traces, and physics-validate complete board designs in hours instead of weeks. The company positions itself as the 'compiler for hardware,' aiming to make manual PCB layout as obsolete as hand-compiling code.
