Design Intent vs. the Grind: Quilter's Vision for AI in PCB Design

AI is starting to take on real work in PCB design, but engineering teams still want and need to stay in control of the process. In this episode, Judy Warner talks with Sergiy Nesterenko, founder of Quilter, about how their AI-powered layout tool has evolved over the past year. They discuss keeping designers in control through custom constraints, lessons learned from laying out Quilter's own NXP i.MX8 board, building trust with engineering teams and their downstream customers, and how physics-based verification, including a new signal-integrity integration with Simbeor, is helping to close the gap between solid engineering skill, automation, and real-world reliability.   Join The Engineering EEcosystem for curated resources for engineers including our FREE online Masterclasses with Dr. Eric Bogatin. https://theeecosystem.com   Learn more: Quilter https://quilter.ai Listen to The EEcosystem Podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and all major podcast apps.
