AI-Powered Hardware System Design Software
Dalus is an AI-powered systems engineering software to model/validate complex systems for aerospace/defense/robotics and other mission-critical industries. With Dalus, engineers can seamlessly trace requirements, perform analyses, and update information in real-time. This ensures that every team member stays aligned and informed, reducing inefficiencies and enabling faster iterations. With AI at our core, users can analyze hundreds of pages of existing engineering documentation and requirements to generate or retrieve information about the system model they are building in Dalus. We started working together on Dalus in spring 2024 after Eliot quit his job at Aerojet Rocketdyne (L3Harris) where he worked as a test/systems engineer. He experienced first-hand how silos and poor communication reduced the productivity and efficiencies in the teams he worked at. We love working with companies tackling complex engineering systems, whether they be startups just getting their feet wet or large organizations like Israel Aerospace Industries (Our design partner and biggest aerospace/defense company from Israel) Read why we started Dalus: https://dalus.io/articles/why-dalus
Dalus is an AI-powered systems engineering platform for hardware design that enables modeling, simulation, requirements management, and collaboration across disciplines. It emphasizes AI copilots to generate models and manage the end-to-end hardware system development lifecycle.
Dalus provides a collaborative, AI-driven environment to model system architecture, simulate performance, manage requirements, and verify test cases. It supports system decomposition into subsystems and interfaces, analysis and verification by coupling behavior with simulations, test case planning and traceability, and hazard/risk identification. It includes live collaboration, role-based permissions, mission planning, and an AI Copilot that can generate models from extracted requirements, retrieve information, spot issues, and automatically create structured system models. The product integrates with tools like GitLab, Simulink, Jira, Slack, and offers version control, on-premise hosting, and data residency compliant options.
Who it’s for: Hardware-focused organizations developing complex systems in energy, defense, aerospace, automotive, and robotics sectors that require multidisciplinary collaboration and traceability.
Customers: IOX Lab, DefendTex
Public pricing, enterprise options, on-premise hosting, SOC 2 certification, AWS GovCloud, and EU data residency indicate growth and enterprise traction; mentions of customers and a demo booking flow suggest active sales and adoption.
Co-Founder/CEO @ Dalus Software to model/validate complex systems for industries like aerospace/defense I co-founded two companies in the past (one software startup -> sold it, and one hardware startup, building Brain-Computer-Interface electronics) Before starting Dalus, I was involved in a project with the European Space Agency, modeling a Greenhouse module for the Moon, where I learned firsthand how inefficient existing software for building hardware is.
Co-Founder & CTO at Dalus Building the next generation of software for hardware engineers designing complex systems. Previously worked as a systems integration / test engineer at Aerojet Rocketdyne where I planned tests for a propulsion system undergoing Proof Of Design for the navy. This is where I witnessed the inefficiencies of large, siloed engineering teams firsthand. B.S. Aerospace Engineering. Software enthusiast. Autodidact.
Dalus helps engineers create system models of complex hardware in a day instead of weeks.
Dalus builds an AI-powered model-based systems engineering (MBSE) platform for complex hardware, enabling fast, collaborative design and verification of system requirements, architectures, and constraints. The launch presents a cloud-based tool aimed at aerospace, defense, energy, and automotive teams to centralize design data and accelerate iterate cycles.
