# JTIX ## Kurzbeschreibung **“EDA’s premier code-based, AI-driven PCB design tool.”** JITX is a code-based platform for the development and optimization of complex printed circuit boards, particularly high-frequency systems. Requirements are described in Python; AI can generate or revise the code. JITX uses this to generate schematics and layouts, employs routing and optimization methods, and can initiate and evaluate electromagnetic simulations using Ansys HFSS. ## Claim Software-defined electronics ## Geeignet für - Education - Electronics / Electrical Engineering - Science ## Kernfunktionen - Programming - Circuit design ## Preismodell - **free:** Permanent free access to designs under the CERN OHL Permissive License; unlimited design complexity, routine automation, technical design checks, and component optimization. - **other:** **Enterprise** Locally hosted platform for proprietary designs, choice of design license, PLM integration, KiCad, Altium, and Siemens Expedition connectivity, air gap, and dedicated support. **Trial / Demo / Training** Customized demonstrations, trial accounts, and training programs. **Consulting** Consulting for automated hardware design and implementation of the JITX methodology. **Custom Development** Custom development, company-specific design libraries, verification rules, and integrations. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar **On-prem / local hosting: partially** The website states that JITX runs on the local computer or on the customer’s infrastructure. However, the website does not specifically describe a formal on-premises/self-hosting offering with a deployment model, support framework, or full local model execution. **Private Cloud / Data Center: Indirect / Not Available** There are statements such as “on your infrastructure” and “on your compute,” which suggest a customer-controlled environment. However, a dedicated private cloud or EU/EEA data center option is not explicitly offered or described on the website. **EU SaaS / Managed: unclear** The privacy policy describes services hosted in the U.S. A managed SaaS option with EU/EEA data residency or an EU data center is not specified on the website. **Hybrid: Partially** The website describes local execution and the use of approved internal AI models, while the privacy policy also mentions server-side storage on the company’s own infrastructure. This suggests possible mixed processing paths, but a clearly defined hybrid operating model is not outlined on the website. **DPA: unclear** A DPA or a linked Data Processing Agreement is not specified on the website. **No Training: Unclear** The website states that the customer can use “your approved AI” or “your approved internal AI models.” There is no explicit contractual exclusion on the website stating that prompts, uploads, designs, or outputs will not be used to train general models. **Open Source / Transparency: Partial** The documentation provides extensive technical references, libraries, and API/package structures, which creates transparency regarding components. An explicit open-source licensing model, a list of open-source components, or a documented migration/export path to ensure data sovereignty is not specified on the website. **Data Processing** The website describes two levels: First, according to the product page, JITX runs locally on the customer’s computer or infrastructure and can be operated using internal AI models approved by the customer. Second, the privacy policy states that designs, code, and other data may be stored on JITX’s servers or infrastructure and that the services are hosted in the United States. While this makes a more data-efficient local deployment conceivable for EU/EEA users, the website does not clearly document which data is necessarily transmitted to JITX in which operating mode and which data remains entirely local. **Conclusion** From a hosting and GDPR perspective, JITX can currently only be evaluated to a limited extent as a European directory. The strongest positive aspect is the local or in-house infrastructure operation, which potentially enables a more privacy-friendly deployment within the EU/EEA. However, this is offset by the explicit statement that the services are hosted in the U.S. and by significant gaps in documentation. Without a verifiable Data Processing Agreement (DPA) on the website, without EU/EEA data residency, and without clear statements regarding subprocessors, AI training, and certifications, GDPR compliance for the entire European region remains **unclear** overall. **Sources** - [https://www.jitx.com/](https://www.jitx.com/) - [https://www.jitx.com/legal/privacy](https://www.jitx.com/legal/privacy) - [https://www.jitx.com/legal/tos](https://www.jitx.com/legal/tos) - [https://docs.jitx.com/](https://docs.jitx.com/) For the entire EU/EEA region, compliance with the GDPR as stated on the provider’s website is not sufficiently substantiated. On the positive side, according to the website, JITX can run on local hardware or the provider’s own infrastructure. At the same time, the privacy policy for the services mentions hosting and processing in the U.S. as well as transfers from Europe to the U.S. The website does not provide an AVV/DPA, EU data residency, specific EU/EEA data centers, a list of subprocessors, or an explicit exclusion of the use of customer data for AI training. **Positive** The website describes JITX as running locally or on the user’s own infrastructure: “Runs on your hardware,” “JITX runs on your local computer,” and “JITX runs on your infrastructure with your approved AI.” In addition, the privacy policy lists European data subject rights and, regarding international transfers, refers to appropriate safeguards as well as the option to request contractual guarantees. **Negative** The privacy policy explicitly states that the services are hosted in the U.S. and that personal data from Europe is transferred to the U.S., among other destinations. For a robust GDPR assessment, the website lacks a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), information on EU/EEA data residency, specific data center locations in the EU/EEA, a list of sub-processors, a documented opt-out from AI training, and relevant certifications. **Server Location** According to the privacy policy, the services are hosted in the United States, and personal data is processed and stored in the United States. The website does not specify a specific EU/EEA server location or EU data residency. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** teilweise / indirekt - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** unknown - **EU SaaS / Managed:** unknown - **Hybrid:** teilweise / indirekt - **AVV / DPA:** unknown - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** unknown - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** teilweise / indirekt ## Standort **Land:** USA **Taxonomie:** USA JITX Inc., 1207 10th Street, Berkeley, CA 94710, USA ## Vorteile - A very high degree of automation for complex electronic designs - Testable and version-controlled Python code - A combination of AI, deterministic solvers, and physical simulation - Local or isolated enterprise operation - Interfaces to KiCad, Altium, Siemens Expedition, and PLM systems - Suitable for repeatable platform and product family development ## Nachteile - High technical barrier to entry - Knowledge of Python and EDA remains required. - Strongly geared toward professional and complex engineering workflows. - Costs and contract terms for the Enterprise offering are available only upon request. - According to the provider, the free tier may only be used for designs under specific open-hardware license terms. - AI-generated code and simulation results require qualified technical approval. ## Quellen - Offizielle Website: https://www.jitx.com/ ## Letzter Datenstand 2026-06-09 ## Originalseite https://kifox.ai/en/ki-tools/jtix-en/
