AI that lays out circuit boards.
Garret Buell Labs builds AI tools for printed circuit board design, so a finished schematic becomes a finished board in less time.
The problem
Placing components and routing traces is still done largely by hand, by specialists, one board at a time. It is the slowest step between a working circuit and hardware you can hold, and it is where many hardware schedules slip.
What we build
Machine-learning models that take on placement and routing, working inside the constraints a real board has to meet: clearances, layer counts, signal integrity, and what a fabricator can actually make.
Compute
Learning to lay out a board means training on large numbers of layouts and searching an enormous space of possible routes for each new design. Both are GPU-accelerated workloads, in training and at inference.
