Yes. Vortex R&D covers boards, firmware, CAD, and simulation, and it runs on the same discipline as the software side. Schematics and layouts are kept as text sources rather than as opaque binaries, which means a board's history is readable, diffable, and reviewable the way code is. Verification runs headless and its results are written into the fabrication package itself, so what a fabricator receives carries its own evidence rather than a claim that checks were run. That matters most when a design changes late and you need to know what the change touched.
