Founded out of Mila, Montreal. Two PhDs, two prior deeptech startups.

Your board stays on our machines. No outside model ever sees the schematic, the layout or the BOM, and nothing you send us is used to train one.

Predictive Electronic Design

In hardware, fast and right have always been a trade-off.

We built the AI that ends it.

Most of a hardware program is not design. It is building a prototype, finding what broke, and building it again. ambrflow predicts which parts and which designs will fail before you order copper, so you spend the schedule building instead of rebuilding.

ALPHA ACCESS · OPENS OCTOBER 22, 2026

20 places in the alpha.

Bring a board that is still moving. A design in revision, not one you have already signed off. We work it with you, on your constraints.

WHAT YOU GET

A design you are actually shipping, not a sample

You talk to the two of us, not to a queue

Your constraints set the order of what we build next

Your board stays on our machines. No outside model, no training

WHAT WE ASK

A design still in revision, where being wrong early is cheap

Time with the people who own the board, not only the budget

Blunt feedback, especially the unflattering kind

THE SCHEDULE

Where eighteen months goes

A simple design reaches a working product in about eighteen months. Only the first two are spent designing it.

Nine of the eighteen months are rebuilds. Not design, not qualification. The cost of finding out late.

Predict what fails before the first build, and the rebuild months have nothing to do.

THE METHOD

How the prediction is made

ambrflow compares your design against parts and designs that have already been built and already broken. Not a rule checker.

Ingest

Schematic, layout, BOM, and the constraints you actually care about. Temperature range, duty cycle, expected life.

Match

We match your parts and topologies against known designs, part histories and test results. What failed, under what conditions, and why.

Predict

A ranked list of what will fail. Which part, which net, which design choice, and the conditions that trigger it. Every prediction carries its evidence.

Decide

An engineer accepts or rejects each one. Both are recorded, so the design carries its own justification into design review and certification.

THE OUTPUT

What lands on your desk

A prediction an engineer cannot check is a prediction they will ignore.

A ranked failure list

Ordered by how likely it is to bite you and how expensive it is to fix later. Not alphabetically by reference designator.

A replacement that fits

A part that clears the spec the original broke and keeps the same footprint, searched against distributor catalogues. A flag with no next step is just more work.

The evidence behind each one

The prior designs and test results the prediction came from. You can disagree with it, which is the point.

A decision record

Every accepted and rejected prediction, kept. When a reviewer asks why the regulator was changed in week three, the answer exists.

WHO

Two PhDs, and a system still running at the South Pole

Two prior deeptech startups. At the last one we led a cross-functional engineering team and built the lowest-power AI chip on a circuit board. We watched how much slower hardware moves than software. That is what ambrflow is for.

Siyao Shao
Co-founder, AI
PhD, Mechanical Engineering

A serial founder, with three patents.

Roxanne Turcotte
Co-founder, Hardware
PhD, Physics (IceCube, SNOLAB)

A system she designed is still collecting data at the South Pole.

A MILA STARTUP, MONTREAL

Tell us what keeps breaking.

Send the design, the temperature range, and the date you promised. We will tell you what we would look at first.

SERVICES

Or put our engineers on your board

While the platform is in early access, we take hardware on directly. The same method, applied to your device.

Proof of concept

One device, one deadline. We specify it, predict against it, and build it with you.

Per project
Development partnership

We stand up your hardware practice and stay through the first shipping revision.

Team + engagement
Design review

We take an in-flight design and tell you where it will fail, while it is still cheap to hear.
