Siemens Tech Day: Video Interview – Automotive ecosystems, Design-for-test, Reliability

We caught up with Heiko Dudek of Siemens EDA as part of our promotional coverage for the 2024 Siemens Technology Day.

Heiko discusses why reliability is a critical aspect in automotive design, and why you have really have to plan reliability upfront.

He discusses, for example, how the most important aspect for the European automotive industry going forward is the formation of ecosystems. These are mostly being driven by Research and Technology Organisations (Imec, Fraunhofer, and Leti) and all these projects require an EDA partner – you need a software platform that you can develop the ecosystem on.

Also, why design-for-test is important when you are combining silicon from multiple sources. Even if you have known good chiplets and you combine them in an architecture on a substrate it doesn’t mean it is necessarily going to work or work forever.

Thank you to Heiko for his time.
