Assemble Labs CTO on closing the firmware test loop with autonomous agents

Craig Schindler, CTO of Assemble Labs, describes how the company has AI agents write experiments for embedded devices and interpret sensor and power data. The 10-minute interview was recorded at NVIDIA GTC 2026. His main case study is a wearable health sensor, including how power regressions are found and fixed. The video shows no bench footage of the agents.

Briefing

Schindler co-founded Assemble Labs after designing hardware for the iPhone and Apple Watch at Apple. He describes the bottleneck as synthesis: engineers working through thousands of pages of schematics and measurement data. The chapters move from the firmware-hardware interface and co-design to the wearable case study at 03:18, power regressions at 06:51 and autonomous "self-driving" labs at 07:58.

The account is the company's own, given in conversation. SAIL Media recorded it in San Jose for its Researcher Conversations series, produced with SemiAnalysis and Makora. The description names insect-scale robotics, alongside wearable health sensors, as development work Assemble Labs aims to speed up.
