Company mission
To automate hardware design for the benefit of science and the welfare of humanity.
Our take
When designing circuitboards, engineers use graphical tools. However, modern circuit boards are so complex that it is almost impossible to design at the level of detail required without encountering errors. Jitx introduces a solution to this problem by bringing software to hardware design, allowing electrical engineers to design in code, and then compiling it into a board layout with the help of AI. By automating testing and review processes within its platform, it allows a degree of precision and ease of deployment unmatched by manual design processes.
The global market for circuit board design is estimated at over $9 billion and Jitx is not alone in attempting to disrupt this space, with companies including Celus, Circuitmind and Zuken among others attempting to use AI to automate circuit design. But Jitx stands apart by using code rather than a graphical or descriptive interface to streamline this process, and this extra level of control and ability to share layouts over, for instance, GitHub, may give it a strong niche within the sector.
Jitx has recently closed a Series A funding round led by Sequoia Capital. It is moving to develop its platform, adding more automation features to further speed up circuit board design. Having emerged from stealth only recently, it is also hiring, hoping to expand its team to take advantage of its rapidly growing client base.
