SiliXon builds conversational prompt software that automates the full printed circuit board (PCB) design workflow, including component selection, connection mapping, and generation of manufacturing documentation. The platform aims to reduce multi-week specialist engineering processes to minutes by enabling engineers and non-traditional hardware builders to describe designs in plain language. The Cambridge-founded startup was established in 2024 and operates with a core team of two, planning to expand to around five employees soon. SiliXon competes with startups like Flux and incumbent tools such as Altium Designer and KiCad. The company has raised $1.5 million in its first funding round to ship its first public product iteration and run an open beta targeted for the end of May 2026. Longer term, the startup intends to help bring electronics manufacturing and innovation back to Europe by decoupling some reliance on East Asian supply chains.
