The new capabilities build on Siemens’ recently introduced Fuse EDA AI Agent system and add new Nvidia AI technology to help long-running, domain scoped, AI agents reason, act and continuously validate decisions against deterministic, physics-based EDA engines.\n\nThe updates to Siemens’ Fuse EDA AI Agent are designed to help the semiconductor\n\nand PCB industry move beyond simple automation and deliver trusted and verifiable\n\noutcomes that improve result quality, time-to-results, tool-calling reliability and token efficiency across long-running engineering workloads. The Fuse EDA AI Agent system is now integrated into Siemens’ recently launched Intelligence Center X, supporting agent creation and orchestration in Siemens’ enterprise industrial AI environment.\n\nIntelligence Center X delivers AI-driven, coordinated processes across design, manufacturing and supply chain – enhancing the comprehensive digital twin to support smarter execution and more trusted outcomes.\n\nTimothy Costa, vice president of computational engineering at Nvidia, said in a press briefing that Siemens in integrating AI and GPUs into its manufacturing and operations.\n\n“This closes the loop between engineering intent and real world performance,” Costa said. “We can connect what happens during design simulation with production systems and operational data, then use that feedback to improve both the product and the process. That’s how AI moves from being a point solution to part of the industrial operating system.”\n\nSiemens has been investing heavily in both digital twins and physical AI, or robots driven by the latest AI technologies.\n\nAmit Gupta chief AI strategy officer for Solido custom IC at Siemens, said in a press briefing that Siemens has chip and systems design tools for engineers for designing comprehensive digital twins. Now the big German company has a number of tools that are accelerated with graphics processing units. The company is getting 10 times to 15 times speedups with its tools thanks to the integration with GPUs. Solido Spice, for instance, is getting 10 times better speed thanks to GPU integration.\n\nEnabling trusted self-verifying AI agents for semiconductor and PCB design The Fuse EDA AI Agent solution now combines Siemens engineering intelligence and trusted verification capabilities with NVIDIA AI infrastructure technologies to execute complex semiconductor design tasks with enhanced speed and precision:\n\n“Our expanded collaboration with Nvidia enhances our domain-specific industrial AI,\n\nphysics-based EDA engines and accelerated computing to create trusted, self-verifying\n\nAI workflows,” said Gupta. “By enabling autonomous and long-running EDA AI agents to continuously validate their decisions against proven engineering tools accurately and efficiently, we help customers accelerate development, improve design quality and increase confidence in trusted engineering outcomes.”\n\nOptimized EDA agents built with Nvidia NeMo Gym open library for agentic environments improve result quality, speed and token efficiency for semiconductor and PCB design. This empowers customers with EDA design flows that get smarter over time with self-verifying agents which learn from every project to automatically improve execution strategies, optimize workflows and make better use of accumulated context.\n\n“Semiconductor and PCB design are among the most complex engineering challenges in the world, and AI agents need trusted tools to reason, act and verify their work,” said Costa. “Siemens is combining its EDA software with Nvidia accelerated computing, AI software and Nemotron open models to create self-verifying agentic workflows that improve design quality, speed up results and give engineering teams greater confidence in every step of the process.”\n\nThe Nvidia OpenShell secure runtime enables enterprise scale design teams\n\nto run autonomous agents across their entire EDA environment with enterprise-\n\ngrade security, access controls and audit trails within governed runtime environments.\n\nAdvanced reasoning with the latest Nvidia Nemotron models and Switchyard accelerates design with AI agents that understand complex engineering trade-offs at the speed of AI reasoning and supports complex engineering workflows with improved performance and token efficiency.\n\nNvidia accelerated computing and CUDA-X libraries helps design teams achieve signoff-quality results in hours instead of days, powering both AI reasoning and EDA engines for dramatic speedups without sacrificing accuracy.\n\nTogether, these capabilities enable secure and token-efficient multi-agent coordination,\n\nreal-time feedback and improved convergence across semiconductor and PCB design\n\nand verification flows, helping customers achieve trusted engineering outcomes.\n\n## Comprehensive end-to-end design automation\n\nBuilding on these capabilities, Siemens’ Fuse EDA AI Agent orchestrates workflows\n\nacross the semiconductor and PCB lifecycle. Domain-specific agents collaborate\n\nacross synthesis, verification, implementation and validation processes to optimize\n\noutcomes holistically.\n\nThe new offering spans Siemens’ EDA technologies across the full semiconductor and\n\nelectronics lifecycles, from high-level synthesis with Catapult, verification with Questa\n\nOne and Veloce, and custom IC design and verification with Solido, through to physical\n\nimplementation with Aprisa, signoff verification with Calibre and design-for-test with\n\nTessent. It also supports advanced 3D IC integration using Innovator3D IC and PCB\n\ndesign with Xpedition.\n\n## Accelerating custom integrated circuit (IC) design with agentic AI\n\nThe expanded collaboration enhances Siemens’ Solido Characterization Suite with\n\nagentic AI capabilities. These agentic workflows automate library characterization by automatically generating and verifying Liberty files by running Solido Characterizer with\n\nSolido LibSPICE, Solido Generator and Solido Analytics. The solution delivers\n\nproduction-proven results for advanced-node standard cell, memory and custom IP\n\nlibraries while reducing characterization turnaround times by more than 10X and\n\nachieving over a 5X to 10X reduction in token costs.\n\nThese agentic capabilities extend further into the custom IC design flow with the new\n\nSolido Layout Analyzer, an AI-powered measurement-aware solution for visualizing, exploring and analyzing parasitic and layout-dependent effects in post-\n\nlayout designs. Integrated with Fuse EDA AI Agent, Solido Layout Analyzer\n\ndramatically boosts design quality and engineering productivity by enabling natural\n\nlanguage prompting with results analysis, fixing recommendations, and report\n\ngeneration.\n\n“For STMicroelectronics’ non-volatile memory team, the ability to relate layout insight\n\ndirectly to electrical behavior is critical. Rather than discovering layout dependent\n\neffects late in the process, Solido Layout Analyzer brings this analysis earlier into the\n\nflow, improving design confidence and helping cut down the time we spend debugging\n\ncomplex design blocks by weeks. We are planning to test and validate the advantages\n\nin our on-going design activity,” said Gianbattista Lo Giudice, Non-Volatile Memory\n\nDesign manager, STMicroelectronics, in a statement.\n\n## Accelerating digital verification with agentic AI\n\nWith verification consuming up to 70 percent of design time and complexity, the industry faces an unprecedented productivity crisis. Building on the recently announced Questa One Agentic Toolkit, Siemens is extending these domain-scoped agentic AI workflows with Nvidia’s Nemotron 3 Ultra reasoning model, designed for complex, long-running agents. In agentic RTL benchmarking with the ACE-RTL agent, Nemotron 3 Ultra leads among open models. Its reasoning and efficiency help autonomous agents evaluate engineering trade-offs while continuously validating designs against golden test harness. This enables teams to identify issues earlier, accelerate verification closure, and deliver trusted outcomes faster.\n\n“We’re at an inflection point where the complexity of AI chips, chiplets, and 3D-ICs has\n\noutpaced traditional verification methodologies,” said Abhi Kolpekwar, senior vice\n\npresident and general manager Digital Verification Technologies, Siemens EDA,\n\nSiemens Digital Industries Software, “agentic AI is the natural path forward that scales\n\nwith this complexity—agents that can orchestrate multi-domain verification, reason\n\nacross billions of test scenarios, and deliver production-quality results in timeframes\n\nthat were impossible just two years ago.”\n\n## Availability\n\nSiemens’ expanded AI-driven EDA capabilities will be available in forthcoming releases\n\nof Siemens’ AI-native EDA portfolio.
