One of Signal Integrity's Most Widely Cited Authors and Educators will Advise Quilter's Physics and Engineering Teams and Publish Original Technical Content on the Quilter Platform
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2026 / Quilter, the physics-driven AI that automates printed circuit board (PCB) layout, has named Dr. Eric Bogatin as its first Technical Fellow. Bogatin is a professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at the University of Colorado Boulder, former technical editor of Signal Integrity Journal, and the author of 18 technical books, including Signal and Power Integrity: Simplified, widely regarded as the standard reference text for practicing engineers.
In his role, Bogatin will advise Quilter's physics and engineering teams, provide product and roadmap feedback, and author original technical content on Quilter's platform.
"Eric wrote the textbook that most engineers in our field learned from," said Sergiy Nesterenko, founder and CEO of Quilter. "Having him engage with what we're building is both an honor and a proof that Quilter is on the right path toward solving one of the oldest industry problems."
Bogatin's career spans more than four decades at the intersection of electromagnetic physics and electronics design. He earned his B.S. in physics from MIT and his M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from The University of Arizona, then held senior engineering and management positions at Bell Labs, Raychem, Sun Microsystems, Ansoft, and Interconnect Devices. In 2011, Teledyne LeCroy acquired the company he founded with his wife, Susan. In 2012, he joined the ECEE faculty of the University of Colorado Boulder, where he teaches the capstone senior design lab and graduate courses on signal integrity. He has trained thousands of engineers through university courses, intensive short courses, and industry webinars. He also serves as a Fellow with Teledyne LeCroy, where he leads the Signal Integrity Academy.
"The physics of interconnects determines whether a board works or fails," said Bogatin. "Quilter is building a platform that reasons from those physics rather than relying on heuristics or historical patterns. That approach aligns with how I've always taught signal integrity, and it's the right foundation for what comes next in PCB design automation."
The appointment comes as Quilter continues to expand the complexity of boards its platform can handle. In July 2026, the company shipped automated BGA fanout, removing one of the most common manual preparation steps for dense designs containing ball grid array components. The 2026 releases have extended support for calculated impedance profiles, placement constraints, keepout regions, and ground plane control.

He is the author of 18 books on signal integrity and electronics, including Signal and Power Integrity: Simplified (Pearson, 3rd edition, 2018), Principles of Power Integrity for PDN Design: Simplified (2017), and Practical Guide to Transmission Line Design and Characterization for Signal Integrity Applications (2020). He holds a B.S. in physics from MIT and an M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from the University of Arizona.
About Quilter
Quilter is enterprise-grade, physics-driven AI that automates printed circuit board layout design. Engineers upload a schematic and board outline, and Quilter handles component placement and routing end-to-end, turning weeks of manual work into hours while keeping engineers in full control. Unlike legacy auto-routers or LLM-based tools, Quilter reasons from the physics of the board to produce complete layouts in your native ECAD format, with physics checks applied as each candidate is built. Quilter supports Altium, KiCad, Cadence, and Xpedition files, and is available as a cloud platform or on-premise deployment. Learn more at https://www.quilter.ai/.
