Agents that runthe test line.
FIXT ingests the schematic, datasheets, and firmware, generates the station test plan, runs and monitors it on the line, and triages every failure.
Fixture, not silicon. The same −0.1 dBm offset appears on every unit tested at bench-04 since the cable swap on rev C. Units on bench-02 pass at 4.1 dBm. Recommend re-running path loss calibration before touching the board.
Manufacturing test still needs a person watching it.
Someone writes the station scripts, keeps the line running as revisions ship, and reads logs by hand when a unit fails — was it the board, the fixture, or the test itself?
Root-causing usually means pulling in failure analysis, reliability, ATE, and quality, each holding a different slice of the picture, and getting them to compare notes.
That doesn't scale with volume, and it doesn't scale with how often hardware changes.
Full test-line coverage in days instead of weeks.
Ingest
The schematic, the datasheets behind every part, and the firmware that runs on it.
Generate
The station test plan, with limits derived from the parts themselves.
Run
The line runs and stays monitored, through every revision that ships.
Triage
Each failure read with the cross-domain view four engineers would bring.
An operator, not a copilot.
Most AI for hardware stops at helping you write it faster. FIXT runs the station, watches it, and knows when something is wrong — closer to a shift you don't have to staff than a tool you use.

One of us knows what a test engineer needs. The other has shipped agents under real constraints.
Akkhil
Built distributed test infrastructure, automated optical validation, and embedded diagnostic systems at WHOOP. Ran electromechanical validation and quality systems automation at Avanos.
Shash
Ships production agentic AI at Bridge, where multi-agent systems and retrieval over messy real-world documents have moved over $500M in financing.

One station, one fixture. Schematic in, a running and monitored test cycle out.
