Siemens EDA product manager discusses building trustworthy agentic AI for electronic design automation on demand.

A panel of EDA executives debate AI's impact on chip design, with no consensus on where it will succeed or how it will affect the engineering workforce.

Q1 2026 EDA market shows sustained growth led by APAC demand as more companies insource chip design.

Worldwide EDA and SIP revenue grew 12.7% to $5.748B in Q1 2026, driven by AI chip design tool demand and a Chinese sales surge.

Siemens EDA partners with Perforce on a unified design platform for the software-defined era of semiconductor development.

Inspection and metrology tools adapt to the demands of high-density fan-out panel packaging for large AI/HPC devices.
The industry-standard physical-verification and design-for-manufacturing platform, used to run DRC, LVS, and resolution-enhancement checks that signoff virtually every advanced chip before it goes to a foundry. Calibre is required in the qualified flows of TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and others, and its near-ubiquity at the manufacturing-signoff step is the crown jewel Siemens inherited from Mentor Graphics and the strongest pillar of Siemens EDA.
Siemens EDA's functional-verification suite, spanning advanced simulation, formal verification, and coverage closure for digital designs. Recent releases add agentic-AI capabilities (the Questa One Agentic Toolkit) to automate debug and testbench tasks. Questa competes with Synopsys VCS and Cadence Xcelium in the verification market, which absorbs the majority of chip-development effort.
A comprehensive design-for-test (DFT) and silicon-lifecycle solution that inserts test logic, generates test patterns, and enables in-field monitoring to improve yield and reliability. Tessent is widely used for advanced SoCs and is especially strong in automotive and safety-critical silicon, an area where Siemens EDA differentiates against its EDA rivals.
Siemens EDA's emulation and prototyping platform for verifying large SoCs and running software workloads on pre-silicon hardware models far faster than software simulation. The Veloce family (emulators and FPGA-based prototyping) lets teams validate billion-gate designs and bring up software early, competing with Synopsys ZeBu and Cadence Palladium in the hardware-assisted verification market.
