Your products push the boundaries of physics. Your tools shouldn't hold you back. Today's products integrate technologies that barely existed two decades ago. Yet engineers often coordinate this complexity through software built in the 80's, outdated workflows, and platforms that restrict collaboration.
This gathering brings together the full stack of engineering innovation: investors betting on the future of technical tools, vendors building that future, and the technical leaders who need these solutions yesterday.
Conversations Include:
- Championing modern tools in your organization — How to build internal support and make the case to management
- Breaking down silos between design, simulation, and analysis — Practical strategies for better team coordination
- Quantifying time savings and ROI — Building compelling business cases that get budget approval
Join Engineering at the Frontier, where we confront an uncomfortable reality: while engineers design complex systems like rockets, autonomous robotics, and medical devices, most still wrestle with software from the desktop era in their daily jobs.
Panel Discussion
The panelists include builders creating the next generation of electrical and mechanical tools: Dystr CEO Nabeel Allana and C-Infinity co-founder and CEO, Sai Nelaturi, alongside Somewear Labs co-founder and CTO Alan Besquin, a user and practitioner of building software-powered hardware in mission-critical environments. The conversation will be moderated by Sabrina Paseman, founding partner of Omni Ventures, who will represent investors backing this transformation.

About Dystr
Hardware teams waste countless hours on repetitive calculations and disconnected tools. Dystr solves this by providing a single platform where electrical and mechanical engineers can run analysis, share results, and automate workflows. Describe calculations in plain language or modify code directly. Access your team's complete analysis history, rerun calculations with new parameters, and generate reports that stay synchronized with underlying data. No more emailing scripts or debugging environment differences.
