How is your organization cHanging
tHe game witHin your industry
sector?
We're changing the game by providing tools that
engineers just don't have at their disposal today.
There've been very rigorous engineering processes
and tools developed for the middle and late stages
of a big project. However, relatively less is done for
the early stage. And with the complexity that's pres-
A very valuable piece
of advice I've received
is to really understand
the problem you're ac-
tually solving – includ-
ing the value that you
need to deliver to your
customers. And then
build everything else
around that.
ent in today's systems, having an incredibly strong
early-stage foundation is absolutely critical. So de-
sign verification is going to become, in the future,
a whole new industry. Design verification engineers
are going to be as prevalent and as important as test
engineers are today, and we're providing the tools to
enable that to happen. So that when engineers get
to the actual late-stage testing, all they're finding are
errors from manufacturing or implementation. There
should be no design errors in later stages.

you received?
