This allows them to focus on building great products - rather than building libraries. With SnapEDA, engineers can drag-and-drop symbols, footprints, and 3-D models into their designs ( Figure 2). Natasha: It's a website that provides libraries for circuit board design. J.: Tell us more about SnapEDA and your business model. When I got home from the trade show, I quit my job to start building SnapEDA - the first search engine for electronics design content.įigure 1: You can discover new components at SnapEDAĬ. I wondered why there wasn’t a “Google” for electronics, a place where engineers could go to find trusted data for their designs. They were spending days recreating content over and over again - time that could be better spent on innovating better products. At that moment, it dawned on me that engineers all over the world faced the same challenges. I spent days creating the symbols, simulation models, and footprints for each component in my design from scratch. As I moved from capture to layout, I was amazed - and frustrated - that the content I needed did not exist in my circuit board design software. It was a standard reference design, so I figured it would be a breeze to complete. One day, I was designing a simple circuit board for an upcoming trade show in California.
Natasha Baker: I created SnapEDA ( Figure 1) to solve the challenges I faced when designing circuit boards. Abate: You have a background as an electronic design automation ( EDA) engineer. Today, the company’s library comprises handy models for millions of electronic components that engineers, students, and makers can use for circuit board design.Ĭ. Back in 2013, Natasha Baker launched SnapEDA to develop a search engine for electronics design content.
