Flux for Enterprise: AI-Driven Hardware Design at Scale
80% of Fortune 500 companies already have employees using AI like ChatGPT for their everyday work and we’ve all seen how LLMs have been leveraged to write code. But, what about designing and building hardware?
We believe LLMs will revolutionize every step of the hardware development process from initial brainstorming all the way through production. From talking with dozens of enterprise customers across the industry, we’ve learned that you are also excited to leverage AI to streamline tedious tasks, access organization-wide knowledge, reduce design risks, and ultimately ship innovative products faster.
We also learned that enterprise customers are concerned about the security aspects of using an AI platform for hardware development. They want enterprise-grade security, privacy, and white-glove onboarding support. That’s why, today, we’re excited to be launching Flux for the Enterprise!
With Flux Enterprise, we’re finally bringing AI to hardware teams at enterprise companies with Flux Copilot. What is Flux Copilot? It’s conversational AI that lives in your project to augment your design workflow. Think of it like a senior EE that’s always available for you, 24/7.
What makes Flux Copilot different than generic LLMs like ChatGPT is that it has direct knowledge of your project’s bill of materials, netlist connections, datasheets, engineering knowledge, project requirements, and can even understand images like plots, charts, and technical diagrams - and that’s just the beginning.
Since we launched Copilot last year, it has been used by thousands of hardware teams to build PCBs for everything from industrial IoT to boards used in space! Some of our favorite enterprise use cases for Copilot include:
Whatever your use case may be, there’s no doubt that it can improve your hardware workflow to save your organization time and money.
With Flux Enterprise, we’ve taken the power of Flux Copilot and Flux Organizations and optimized them for the needs of the enterprise world. We’re augmenting our tool with white-glove onboarding support and a slew of new, advanced security features including:
We even generate SOC1 and SOC2 type 2 reports annually, so enterprises have transparency into the security measures protecting their work. The Flux Enterprise tier also allows us to support your specific needs.
We have an ambitious vision for Flux Copilot to unlock the vast human potential that is currently constrained by today’s EDA tools. We’re looking to partner with enterprise customers who are as excited as we are about pushing the boundaries of AI-driven hardware development.
Flux Files centralizes your project docs, assets, and AI outputs in one tab so your team and AI always have the context they need.
Whether you're migrating from popular EDA applications or starting fresh, mastering high speed PCB design has never been more intuitive. Flux enables teams to design, simulate, and route with real-time AI assistance, so you can spin your next high-speed board with total confidence.
This Spring 2026 updates make hardware design faster end-to-end with a more capable, self-correcting AI agent, improved AI auto-layout that needs less cleanup, sourcing-aware design with real-time pricing and availability, and templates to start from.
Today we’re excited to share that Flux has raised $37M in new funding led by 8VC, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Outsiders Fund, alongside Lenny Rachitsky, John Lilly, and Tom Preston-Werner and many other world-class operators.
Flux's AI agent is now up to 10x faster and self-corrects in real time, delivering cleaner schematics with less waiting and fewer wasted credits.
This blog compares AI capabilities across Flux.ai, Altium, KiCad, and EasyEDA to answer engineers’ highest-intent questions about modern PCB design. It explains why Flux.ai currently delivers the strongest end-to-end AI workflow in the ECAD space.
Flux helps you design with live pricing and stock data, using AI to find in-stock parts and fast replacements before your BOM breaks.
Practical guide to writing prompts that get quality results from Flux. We’ll talk about the anatomy of a good prompt and how you can use different LLMs to come up with a great prompt.
