Company Overview#
Zephyros Electronic develops software solutions for electronic design automation (EDA), specializing in automated PCB filter design and electromagnetic simulation. The company focuses on reducing the time and engineering effort required to design and validate increasingly complex electronic components for automotive, wireless communication, and robotics applications.
Technology & Product#
Its core solution, ZEPHYROS EDA, is a Python-based parametric optimization engine that automates PCB filter design by integrating with Ansys simulation tools through the PyAEDT API, including HFSS, Maxwell, and SIwave.
The platform automates key engineering tasks such as PCB geometry generation, meshing, excitation setup, three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation, design optimization, and report generation. It supports the development of low-pass filters (LPF) and band-pass filters (BPF), with simulation results stored in a proprietary component and material library for reuse in subsequent designs.
By automating repetitive design and simulation workflows, ZEPHYROS EDA aims to shorten development cycles and identify electromagnetic interference (EMI), coupling, and resonance issues before physical prototypes are manufactured.
Market & Use Cases#
The technology can support automotive electronics design, PCB filter optimization, EMI/EMC engineering, RF circuit development, and electronic component validation. Potential applications include optimizing filters and electronic components for vehicle electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures, wireless connectivity, and other systems requiring reliable electromagnetic performance.
The proposed automotive application is an inferred potential use case rather than an established Mercedes-Benz collaboration. The company’s current development plan is associated with the Ansys global-collaboration track.
Traction & References#
Zephyros Electronic’s founder brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience with Ansys HFSS, Maxwell, and SIwave at LG Innotek, alongside a PhD in electronics and two Jang Yeong-sil Awards. The team has developed an LPF optimization engine in Python and is advancing BPF automation and full Ansys API integration.
The company’s previous engineering work includes a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth coexistence solution combining a phase shifter and BPF-embedded PCB, reportedly reducing antenna spacing from 24 mm to 2 mm and component volume by 47%, with subsequent mass production. Commercial customers and partners include LG Innotek, SoluM, U-Tel, Vistacom, and Incheon National University. The company also reports ongoing paid engineering and software engagements.
The LPF module has been implemented and theoretically validated, while the BPF module and broader API integration remain under development. Software Version 1.0 is targeted within the relevant development agreement period; no overall TRL has been specified.
Collaboration Relevance#
For Mercedes-Benz, Zephyros Electronic’s technology could potentially support faster PCB filter development and electromagnetic validation for automotive E/E hardware. By automating simulation-driven design and optimization, the platform could help engineers identify EMI and RF performance issues earlier, reduce manual engineering workload, and minimize costly PCB redesign cycles. A potential evaluation would focus on selected filter-design workflows and compatibility with existing Ansys-based engineering processes.
