Transform your EM Workflow Open-Source Freedom. Commercial Reliability.
We provide design & simulation engineers in analog, RF and photonics — backed by open-source EDA that actually works.
Why Traditional EM Tools Hold You Back
Restrictive "HPC" Licensing
Stop letting seat limits and artificial barriers dictate your simulation capacity. Be free to harness the power of cloud-based or on-prem HPC.
Rigid & Inefficient Workflows
Stop wrestling with bloated GUIs, manual mesh and CAD tweaking. Replace sequential, one-at-a-time testing with rapid, automated design exploration.
Generic Support Tickets
Stop relying on support staff who just read you the manual. Partner with experts who actually solve your physics problems.
Cutting edge Open Source EDA
Open-Core
We're open-core contributors to gsim and gdsfactory.
gsim bridges your gdsfactory layout to the solvers that matter — Palace for RF and microwave, Meep for photonics — so you go from GDS to S-parameters with minimal boilerplate.

Our Engineering Services
Design Refinement and Full-Wave Verification
In sectors like RFIC, Photonics, and Advanced Packaging, a single design iteration can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of delay. Our engineering services bridge the gap between layout and tape-out, providing the physical-layer certainty needed to de-risk your investment and enhance device performance.

RFIC & MMIC
We perform full-wave EM extraction for critical on-chip passives. We characterize spiral inductors, transformers, and complex matching networks, delivering high-fidelity SPICE models that match silicon reality.
Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC)
We leverage gdsfactory to build and validate automated photonic layouts. From high-efficiency grating couplers to complex interferometers, we provide the EM simulation and parameterized cell (PCell) development.
Advanced Antennas & Array Design
We design and validate advanced antenna systems. We optimize impedance matching, element coupling, and beam-steering behavior with full-wave simulation to improve gain, bandwidth, and radiation efficiency.
Model Library & Open Wiki (Coming Soon)
