Why Synera?

We’re building the next generation of software for hardware - an Agentic AI platform that lets companies like Airbus, BMW, and NASA accelerate engineering work from days to hours.  Our customers use Synera to automate everything from CAD and simulation workflows to design-for-manufacturing checks and RFQ prep - without needing to write code from scratch.

Think of us as doing for engineering what the advent of CAD did decades ago: enabling a whole new way of working.  As PLM, CAD and CAE tools open up APIs, Synera gives teams the ability to build scalable, AI-augmented workflows that link these tools together.  We're not just streamlining old processes—we're helping engineers hand off repetitive work to automation and AI agents that understand their domain.

If you’re a solutions engineer who’s automated design or simulation processes, glued together tools with Python and felt the frustration of being the only one who could, Synera is the next step.  Join us at the leading edge.
