Raja Tabet, Senior Vice President of Engineering Excellence Group at Synopsys, discussed the company's expanded role in system simulation and digital twins following its acquisition of Ansys. He described how Synopsys now offers a broad product portfolio from silicon to systems, enabling customers to create digital replicas of systems for software validation and modeling, which he said reduces the cost and time associated with physical prototyping cycles. In a podcast appearance, Tabet addressed concerns about automation displacing engineering jobs, stating that the premise that technology will eliminate such roles is "probably overstated." He emphasized that engineers are fundamentally trained to solve problems and that Synopsys hires engineers who can continue doing so, potentially shifting their focus from coding syntax to higher-level design and architectural challenges. He also expressed encouragement about the momentum in U.S. chip design and manufacturing, citing partnerships with fabs and companies such as Intel, GlobalFoundries, and Micron.
