Siemens EDA, a segment of Siemens Digital Industries Software, is a technology leader in electronic design automation (EDA) software and hardware and their tools and industry-leading tech enable customers to embrace digital transformation to accelerate the pace of innovation. In 2017, Siemens acquired Solido Design Automation, a Saskatoon-based company that was the world leader in machine learning-based EDA software for variation-aware design and characterization.
On this episode, we talk with Siemens EDA Senior Director of Engineering, former Solido Vice President and local legend Jeff Dyck about his professional journey and how Siemens EDA has grown by more than 10x since we last spoke. We also dive into exciting topics like the future of AI, how to maintain startup growth and how to create a company culture that makes employees want to come into the office.
Buckle up folks, this is a good one!

“There’s going to be a whole bunch of applications that are going to emerge in the next few years. It’s happening incredibly quickly. A thousand new startups trying to use large language models for all kinds of verticals that have never been thought of before. If you can find a data set, you go and train it and see if that’s a cool thing, then figure out what you need to do to turn it into a product.” – Jeff Dyck on generative AI
