Let's be honest.

Most PCB engineers are using a ₹50 lakh EDA tool like a glorified drawing board.

You route traces. You run DRC. You export Gerbers. You fill in a checklist manually. You email it to the fab and hope nothing slips through.

Meanwhile, that same tool is sitting on a complete, queryable database of every net, every via, every dielectric constant, every impedance constraint in your design — and you're not asking it anything.

That's not an EDA problem. That's a workflow problem. And AI is about to make it embarrassingly visible.

🤖 The Co-Pilot Shift Nobody Is Talking About

Everyone in electronics is debating whether AI will replace PCB designers.

Wrong question.

The real shift is quieter and more immediate: AI is becoming the layer between your design intent …
