PCB ChatPCB Chat 131: Sergiy Nesterenko on AI-Driven PCB Design"Humans just aren't the greatest at designing circuit boards." That's according to Sergiy Nesterenko.
Nesterenko is founder and CEO of a new software company called Quilter, whose goal is to accelerate hardware development by fully automating circuit board design. His eureka moment came when an early design at a previous employer couldn't be autorouted, then after it was hand-routed and built, it caught on fire.
Listen to why the former Space X engineer thinks the margins designers build in are excessive and how AI-driven, physics-based platform can resolve and even violate some "human" rules and...2024-06-0236 min
