Siemens Accelerates Integrated Circuit Design and Verification with Agentic AI in Questa One
March 2, 2026 | SiemensEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Siemens announced the Questa One Agentic Toolkit, which brings domain scoped agentic AI workflows to its Questa™ One smart verification software portfolio to accelerate creation, verification planning, execution, debugging and closure to achieve trusted RTL sign-off faster while transforming how engineers approach integrated circuit (IC) design and verification tasks.
The verification productivity gap continues to widen as design complexity explodes with 3D ICs, chiplet-based architectures and software-defined systems. The Questa One Agentic Toolkit transforms verification and design from isolated tool interactions into intelligent, domain scoped multi-step, framework-agnostic workflows powered by agentic AI - autonomous systems operating within the verification domain under customer-defined governance boundaries that can reason, plan and execute complex tasks while maintaining configurable human oversight at critical decision points directly within engineers' existing environments.
"Questa One sets a new standard for smart verification and the Questa One Agentic Toolkit builds on those connected and data-driven principles with agentic AI workflows that empower our customers to achieve trusted design and verification closure with AI acceleration – while maintaining the human expertise and judgment that builds quality and trust," said Abhi Kolpekwar, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Verification Technologies, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "We own the engines and we understand verification at the deepest level. It isn’t an afterthought or a wrapper; it’s the EDA industry’s most comprehensive verification solution enhanced with intelligent agentic AI workflows that work the way our customers expect and delivers the results they are demanding."

DesignCon 2026: From Copper to Quantum to Agentic AI
02/26/2026 | Kelly Dack, I-Connect007Greetings from “balmy” Santa Clara, where DesignCon 2026 is officially underway. The conference began in 1995 as Design SuperCon, and now in its 31st year, remains Silicon Valley’s annual summit for signal and power integrity pros. As I walked into the hotel next to the Santa Clara Convention Center, I could sense echoes of the thousands of football fans who packed the area just weeks ago for the Super Bowl. For me, though, DesignCon is the big game, where our industry’s MVPs take the field to show how fast the technology playbook is evolving.
