Retrieve what matters
Build task-specific context from design objects, requirements, libraries, datasheets, historical decisions, and internal standards.
Technology
The harness that turns models into an engineering system.
A model can propose. The harness decides what context it receives, what tools it can operate, what checks must pass, how change is recorded, and where an engineer must decide.
The digital thread
Many workstreams. One connected design record.
The thread is not a new monolithic tool. It is the traceable relationship between the files, objects, decisions, and teams that already create the product.

Why the harness exists
Electronics is a coordination problem before it is an AI problem.
Hardware decisions span mechanical, electrical, firmware, supply, compliance, manufacturing, test, and field experience. The harness keeps an agent’s action inside that broader system.
Act through the right interface
Use model reasoning where useful and deterministic ECAD operations, checks, solvers, and APIs where precision demands them.
Bound every change
Constrain permissions, preserve native artifacts, validate outputs, record provenance, and stop at defined human gates.
Evolution of the workflow
Connect first. Orchestrate next. Automate only what earns trust.
01 / FRAGMENTED
Manual handoffs
Files, spreadsheets, messages, and source systems diverge as work crosses teams.
02 / CONNECTED
Shared context
Circuitly relates the design record across workstreams and makes decisions traceable.
03 / AGENTIC
Bounded orchestration
Agents carry out reviewable tasks across tools with checks and permissions.
04 / CLOSED LOOP
Engineering learns continuously
Manufacturing, test, and field evidence informs the next design iteration.
The progression is deliberate. Circuitly does not equate autonomy with removing engineers. The human decision boundary changes only when the organization has the evidence, controls, and confidence to change it.
What remains authoritative
Your engineering system does not disappear.
- ECAD files remain native.
Engineers can inspect and continue work in their existing environment. - Source systems keep ownership.
Requirements, libraries, Git, PLM, supply, and manufacturing tools remain the systems of record. - Human approvals are explicit.
The team decides which actions can run, which need review, and which stay manual.
Map your engineering system before choosing your agents.
We’ll help connect the workstreams, context boundaries, and controls that make an AI program useful to hardware teams.
