AI Hardware Engineer by iOrchestra is a platform that transforms hardware development by converting text prompts into production-ready designs within minutes instead of weeks. The system utilizes AI agents to handle the entire hardware design workflow, covering electrical, mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering disciplines.
The platform generates comprehensive hardware designs including PCB layouts, schematics, mechanical design, and industrial design. It provides simulation capabilities to test designs before physical prototyping, enables iteration on generated designs, and automatically creates Bills of Materials. The system supports direct manufacturing export, streamlining the transition from design to production.
Users describe their hardware requirements through text prompts, and the AI agents generate complete designs across multiple engineering disciplines. The platform then simulates the generated designs, allows for iterations and refinements, automatically produces Bills of Materials, and prepares files for direct manufacturing. This approach eliminates the traditional weeks-long design process, reducing development time to minutes.
The platform addresses the significant time gap between hardware concept and production-ready design, which traditionally takes months of engineering work. By automating the design process across multiple engineering disciplines, it enables faster prototyping and reduces time-to-market for hardware products.
The system is designed for hardware engineers and teams working on design-to-production workflows. Engineers from major technology companies including Tesla, Amazon LEO, and Google are already utilizing the platform. The company has applied to Y Combinator's S26 batch and offers free options for users to try the platform.
