copperhead

Copperhead is an open-source AI engineering platform and agent designed to help hardware teams design, verify, and ship printed circuit boards (PCBs) directly from a prompt. It addresses the common hardware design problem of 'drift,' where a single decision spreads across schematics, bills of materials, power budgets, and documentation until it falls out of sync and causes costly respins at bring-up.

Targeted at hardware engineers and teams, Copperhead runs locally on your KiCad files and git repository or via hosted cloud environments. It automates the entire pipeline from written briefs and specs through architecture, schematic design, layout, output generation, firmware, and development planning.
