Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), a federally funded research and development center, operates ISR-4 (Space Electronics and Signal Processing) with a mission to develop specialized sensors and systems designed for operation in demanding environments, including high radiation and space.

As part of advancing innovative technologies that meet critical national needs, LANL evaluated Circuit Mind’s electronics design intelligence system to increase productivity and efficiency.

For two designs, LANL automated key tasks including component selection, schematic generation, and report generation (FMEA, ICD, power analysis, derating). At the conclusion of their evaluation they published a peer-reviewed case study outlining their results:

• Accelerated design: A "medium-difficulty" design was completed in under 5 hours, saving 60–80 hours of manual engineering time.
• ‍Design exploration: Circuit Mind's algorithms evaluated billions of component combinations in minutes to generate design candidates optimized for cost, size, power, and availability.
• Enhanced productivity: Generated FMEA, ICD, power analysis, and derating reports - tasks that previously took weeks.
