Code Metal, founded in 2023 in Boston, translates code between programming languages and hardware architectures with formal verification built in, targeting safety-critical industries, aerospace, automotive, defense, and robotics, where generated code has to prove functional equivalence rather than merely look correct.
Static analysis segments a codebase into verifiable components, and auto-generated test suites reach full functional and MCDC coverage, the modified condition and decision coverage standard aerospace and automotive software certification already requires, across languages including C++, Python, VHDL, CUDA, and Rust. The company reports reducing manual coding time by at least 80% on qualifying projects, and counts the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, and Raytheon among its clients.
Pricing requires a sales conversation; the company has raised more than $125 million in a Series B round. For a regulated or safety-critical engineering team that needs code translation formally verified against certification standards, rather than a general-purpose coding assistant, Code Metal's verification-first approach addresses that directly.
