Quilter
Canvas Category Software : Engineering : Semiconductor
At Quilter, we believe that the creativity and passion of hardware engineers for tackling real-world challenges should not be bogged down with the tedium of repeating solved problems. We are building the next generation of tooling for electrical engineers which enables going from concept to physical design at the click of a button. Using physics-driven generative design we enable the reliable conversion of circuit schematics into PCB designs.

Automating Circuit Board Design Using Reinforcement Learning
Quilter's router is now 7x faster
The first of many speedups to Quilter’s AI design engine: a rebuild of our local routing submodule that makes routing 7x faster, overall job completion 3.5x faster, and improves our success rate for complex boards from 93.4% to 98.4%.
We achieved our 7x speed unlock with a relatively straightforward change – rebuilding our “localized routing” submodule in native (C++) from Python, alongside improvements to its algorithmic efficiency.
Quilter raises $10 million for AI-powered circuit board design, led by Benchmark
Quilter announced it raised $10 million, saying it would use artificial intelligence to reduce the time to design components that power electronics in rockets, computers, smartphones and other devices. The $10 million Series A round was led by one of Silicon Valley’s most storied venture capital firms, Benchmark.
