    Solving the Hard Problems: Combining AI and Physics for PCB Design

    Sergiy Nesterenko, founder and CEO of Quilter, explains how his company uses reinforcement learning and computational physics to automate PCB layout, aiming to create a 'compiler' for electronics that handles the entire design scope. He recounts his early career at SpaceX, including an internship watching paint dry and a subsequent board fire that highlighted the reliance on tribal knowledge and the failure of traditional auto-routers. Nesterenko details Quilter's workflow, which integrates with existing CAD tools like Altium to generate layouts for test boards and complex single-board computers, while acknowledging current limitations with high-voltage or ultra-dense server designs. The discussion covers the technical strategy of using neural networks to interpolate simulation results, the company's focus on iterative complexity scaling, and a 10-year vision for enabling continuous integration in hardware design.
