In a previous life, I designed ICs. I did it for a decade, and I got into it—probably like you—because of the fantastic challenge semiconductor and system design affords an engineer. You turn complex, abstract ideas into amazing concrete products that change the world. It’s part artistry, part surgery.
At the time, the artistry part was well supported with EDA tools across the digital-analog spectrum, from implementation like synthesis, to verification and so on. But the surgery part? Not so much. And these were areas where some of the greatest design engineering challenges and bottlenecks lurked.
