I’ve been doing some research on this industry and seems like 2 biggest players are Synopsys (SNPS) and Cadence Design Systems (CDNS). Both companies have been around for decades and have large semiconductors as their clients. With all the noise around 5G, AI and IoT, each company should benefit big time. Which stock would you bet on?
I'm curious if these types of software simulate electromagnetic fields of every component on a circuit and those electromagnetic fields' interaction with one another. I'm an outsider to this field but I'd like to use genetic algorithms to evolve a circuit to accelerate computing speed and I was wondering how accurate those software simulators are to real life and also if they simulate electromagnetics as well.
Hey all,
I'm playing with the thought moving to Japan (eventually Tokyo) for quite some time.
I will be turning 28yo this year and hold an master degree in electrical engineering (information technology as specialization) and ~3 years of work experience in the EDA area (mostly working on tools side). In my free time I am pretty much interested in low level software and also started diving into rust.
Actually I just wanted to hear if there are people from the same area/same interests moved to Japan? If so
- how is the developer cult in this field in Japan?
- how about stuff like dress-coat at work and "nerdiness" of co-workers?
- which language is usually used in daily work, english/japanese?
- did you go to any hacker spaces or eg language meet-ups?
Thanks for your answers, cheers
Two examples of what I mean: First : My wife has chickens, so she set-up gravity feeders and waterers to tend to them. Second: I got tired of having to constantly refill the dish soap container mounted on my kitchen sink, so I addressed the issue by replacing the small soap bottle with a line that goes straight into a gallon-sized dish soap container. Now instead of having to refill it once a week, I just swap it out once a year. What sort of mechanical automations – or optimizations – have you put in place?

In the paper, Google’s engineers note that this work has “major implications” for the chip industry. It also goes on to say this can help offset the end of Moore's law by many more years.
Dies it mean all of chip design will get automated? How will it help with the Moore's law which as I understand is driven by process innovation so far?
DocuSign Inc is a large-cap company in the Information Technology sector and the Software industry. Its closest peers in its industry are Atlassian Corporation PLC, RingCentral Inc, and Splunk Inc. DocuSign's solution addresses the core of every business transaction - the agreement - and makes the process much more efficient, resulting in lower processing cost and time.
DocuSign is a leader in electronic signatures and contract life cycle management software. The company has a long runway for growth through viral adoption in greenfield opportunities. I see existing customers adopting more use cases and expanding seats over time, and also moving to the Agreement Cloud platform. DocuSign’s vision is to modernize the contracting process by taking it from a disjointed and paper-based manual sequence of steps to an automated digital and collaborative system. I think the company has mastered the “sign” step of the process and has used it to build the Agreement Cloud around, but there’s more to DocuSign than just e-signatures. The Agreement Cloud is a platform that includes tools to help users prepare contracts using intuitive drag and drop forms, negotiate, e-sign using a variety of enhanced security and identification means, automate agreement workflows for satisfying contract elements post-execution, allow for payment collections, and centralize account management. As use cases expand, I still expect the current primary driver of growth, the e-signature solution, to continue to grow rapidly thanks to the company’s entrenched leadership position and the more unpenetrated market. Underlying the larger picture is that the company still offers free trials and self-service for pain-free test drives. There's strong adoption in the more than 800,000 paid customers, with 12% involving a sales rep, and hundreds of customers already driving annual contract value in excess of $300,000 annually. In the meantime, net dollar retention rates have been strong, about 120%, which we view as very good and is in line with other self-service, viral adoption models in our coverage.
TLDR; DocuSign is the market leader in e-signatures and is expanding to a broader contract life cycle management solution.The free trial, easier implementation, and rapid return on investment for DocuSign customers make for a compelling sales pitch. The company is also enjoying success moving upstream to larger customers.
Edit:. 🚀🚀🚀🌚🌛💎👐
I am trying to transition my career into a more electronics role that involves some software engineering. I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering but I find myself really attracted to automation, testing, and software. I really don’t want to go back to school to get a second degree so I’m looking for any alternatives.
Has anyone else successfully transitioned their career?
