The First RL Engine for PCB Layout

Quilter uses reinforcement learning to actively explore layout strategies, learning from the results of thousands of generated candidate boards. It balances tradeoffs and improves placement and routing strategies over time. Quilter is never trained on human-designed boards, thereby eliminating bias, protecting your IP, and ensuring that every design is both secure and original.

AI That Understands Physics. Not Your IP.

Quilter trains on physics. Our models are built entirely from synthetic data generated by simulation, not your design files, not scraped boards, and never your IP.

01
Neural networks
Neural networks trained on physics, not imitating human designs
02
Processed in Isolation
Every job is processed in isolation and deleted on completion.
03
Data Integrity
No shared training data, no cross-contamination.
Candidate Selection

Your Best Design Rises to the Top

Quilter generates dozens or hundreds of layout candidates per job. Then it ranks them against physics and fabrication rules, raising the best design to the top. Filter by layer count, trace width, vendor rules, and more to find the candidate that best fits your strategy.

01
Routing Completion
Percentage of pins successfully routed
02
Manufacturability
DRC violations (none allowed), trace/space/drill compliance
03
Physics Rule Checks (PRCs)
Ground plane overlap, overheated trace length, differential length mismatch, trace width accuracy, and thermal/signal performance
04
Fabrication Fit
Compatibility with real fabricator stackups and constraints
05
Resource Efficiency
Layer count, via count, trace length, and component density
Our Origins

We’re Not Chasing AI Hype

We use AI because it’s the right tool for the job, not because it’s fashionable. PCB layout is a tough, persistent bottleneck in hardware engineering. Reinforcement learning offers a real path to solving it.Our team combines deep expertise in AI, from reinforcement learning and machine learning to neural networks, with years of hands-on experience in electrical engineering. We’ve lived the same problems you have, and we’re here to fix them.
