    Burning Man Maker, Music Mogul, and PCB Revolutionary—Flux CEO Matthias Wagner

    Matthias Wagner, CEO of Flux, discusses his unconventional career path from Siemens to music production and back to hardware, explaining how his experience creating the viral 'Crazy Frog' track and designing modular energy systems for Burning Man informed his vision for Flux. He details the frustration hardware engineers face with legacy, waterfall-style PCB design tools, contrasting them with the fluid, real-time collaboration found in modern software and music production workflows. Wagner explains how Flux aims to democratize hardware design by combining GitHub-style version control with Figma-like usability, allowing users to iterate quickly without managing complex file formats or manual footprints. The episode concludes with a look at Flux's new AI assistant, which helps engineers with component selection, schematic validation, and even generating entire designs from natural language prompts.
