Engineering intelligent software and hardware solutions at the frontier — integrating AI, embedded systems, and modern automation to turn ideas into deployable products.
Founder bio
Matthew Vaerewyck is an engineer and founder of Pathfinder Labs. He has led AI‑infused generative design and automation efforts across spacecraft and advanced engineering domains, including work at NASA Goddard.
Pathfinder Labs focuses on practical, production‑ready AI: LLM‑powered design assistants, computer vision for inspection, optimization for mechanical/optomechanical parts, and robust data pipelines that connect CAD/PLM and test systems.
Exploratory areas we’re building toward.
Multi‑agent systems that translate natural language into requirements, designs, and manufacturing plans across mechanical, optical, and electrical domains.
AR/VR overlays connected to CAD and test data for on‑site validation, error reduction, and training.
On‑prem and hybrid solutions to track parts, provenance, and test results with auditable, low‑overhead ledgers.
Closed‑loop benches that learn, adapt limits, and generate human‑readable reports for certification.
