Cadence

Cadence Design Systems is a publicly traded American company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker CDNS. It was formed in 1988 through the merger of SDA Systems and ECAD, and is headquartered in San Jose, California. Cadence develops Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software and tools used by semiconductor companies and hardware designers worldwide to design, simulate, and verify integrated circuits.

Cadence's primary product lines cover IC simulation, synthesis, and verification, as well as PCB and system design tools. Its customer base includes major semiconductor companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, and TSMC. In recent years Cadence expanded into AI-driven design and computational simulation, including through acquisitions of Pointwise and Numeca.

Cadence maintains an active presence in Israel, including an R&D center in Tel Aviv. Israel's robust semiconductor industry makes it a significant market for EDA tooling, and Cadence typically hires in Israel for R&D, electronic engineering, and software development roles.

Detailed information about the precise scope of Israeli operations, local headcount, and the names of local senior leadership is not available to me with sufficient confidence to report here.
