Electronics
Schematics, part selection, and circuit checks.
The best ideas need hardware. Flux is where you build it.
Describe what you want your product to do. Flux takes it from conversation to block diagram to schematic to a working, manufactured board. No EE degree, no legacy tools, no six month detour.

Flux is your AI hardware engineer. Brainstorm. Design. Make it real.
Anyone with a great idea can build their own hardware now. Describe what you want your product to do, and Flux researches the approach, picks parts that are actually in stock, designs the schematic, places and routes the board, and hands you the Gerbers and BOM. You set the requirements. Flux does the engineering.
Brainstorm.
You just need to know what you want your prototype to do. Tell Flux what you’re trying to build and why. It asks the questions a good engineer would ask, researches the approach with you, and turns the conversation into a real plan you can actually read. If you’ve never designed hardware before, Flux can get you caught up. If you’ve done it for years, this is where you skip the blank page.
- Flux is a brainstorm partner. Describe your project in normal words.
- Get a written project plan, based on real electrical engineering expertise.
- Collaborate with teammates with sharable links to your projects.
- Stuck? A Flux human electrical engineer can review your project with you.
Design.
You set the requirements. Flux does the engineering. This is the part that normally takes an engineer weeks. Flux picks components that are actually in stock and actually fit, runs the math behind them, and turns your block diagram into a working schematic. Then it handles placement and routing. You watch it work the whole time, and you can step in and redirect it whenever your requirements change.
- Explore your interactive block diagram and schematic.
- Modern UX so you can avoid difficult interfaces of legacy EDA tools.
- Components chosen for fit, cost, and availability from our partners.
- Calculations, design rules, and error checks running in the background.
- Upload your own datasheets and parts when you need something specific.
- Checks your design against safety, regulatory, and emissions requirements.
Make it real.
A file is not a prototype. Take it the rest of the way. When the design is done, Flux packages it the way a manufacturer expects it: Gerbers, BOM, and the files that go with them. See what each part costs and how long it takes to arrive before you commit. Generate an enclosure for the board, and a render so you know what you’re getting.
- Export a manufacturing-ready package, or send it straight to a manufacturer.
- Cost and lead time per component, minimizing budget surprises at checkout.
- An enclosure and renders of the finished product, designed around your hardware.
- Assembly and test diagrams for when the boards land on your desk.
- Gets quotes from your fabricators as the design changes.
One project. Every part of the product.
Electronics, layout, enclosure, firmware, and manufacturing live in one project, handled by the same AI engineer.
PCB layout
Placement, routing, stackups, and design rule checks.
Mechanical
Enclosures and brackets around your hardware, each built on the right CAD kernel.
Firmware
BETAStarter firmware for common microcontrollers.
Manufacturing
Live part pricing, availability, and files ready to order.
Simulates and checks its own work before you build.
Flux doesn't stop at generating designs. The AI engineer simulates and checks its own work with professional-grade solvers, and it shows you the results.
Circuit simulation
SPICE simulation of analog, power, and mixed-signal circuits, run and read by the AI engineer.
Electromagnetic simulation
Full-wave simulation of the routed board: impedance, S-parameters, crosstalk, and antennas.
Thermal simulation
Heat and airflow simulation of boards and enclosures before you build them.
Fluid simulation
Airflow and cooling through the enclosure, so vents, fans, and heat sinks work before the first prototype.
Mechanical simulation
Finite-element stress analysis of brackets, enclosures, and mounts.
Design rule checks
Electrical and manufacturing rule checks on every schematic and board.
Datasheet checks
Reads the datasheet of every part and checks the design against its pinouts, ratings, and limits.
Use the AI models you trust.
Flux runs frontier models inside an engineering environment built for hardware. When a better model ships, Flux gets better too.
Frontier models, built in
Models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and more, with the CAD, EDA, and parts data they need.
The right model for each step
Flux picks the model that fits the work, from planning to layout.
Better models, no migration
When a new model ships, your projects get it without moving anything.
Whatever you're building,
Flux knows the domain.
Ship the next product version in weeks, not quarters.
Flux designs the board, the enclosure, and the firmware together, so they fit the first time.
See Consumer electronics
Medical hardware, checked at every step.
Flux designs the board, the enclosure, the wiring, and the firmware, and checks each change before your design review.
See Medical devices
Boards, parts, wiring, and firmware that change together.
Every robot version changes the electronics, the mechanics, and the code. Flux keeps all three in step.
See Robotics
Industrial products that last. Redesigns that don't take months.
Flux keeps many product versions current, and swaps parts when the supply changes.
See Industrial and connected devices
More design checks. Fewer engineer hours.
Flux does the design work and the simulation, and hands off clean files to your suppliers and your CAD tools.
See Automotive and aerospace
Power hardware, with the math checked.
Chargers, battery packs, and power supplies are easy to get wrong. Flux picks parts that fit your voltage and current, runs the calculations, and checks the design before you order.

Bring your existing work.
Import projects and part libraries from the tools you already use, and export standard files when you are done.

See it actually work
Three phases, one workspace. Here is what each step looks like inside Flux.
01 / 03
Brainstorm
Tell Flux what you're trying to build and why. It asks questions, researches the approach with you, and turns the conversation into a Project Spec.
02 / 03
Design
Flux turns the Project Spec into a working schematic, lays out components, and tests the design against engineering rules.
03 / 03
Make
Flux shows you what each part costs and how long it takes to arrive, then packages all files according to manufacturer specifications.
