Every chip has bugs — the real question is how fast you can find and fix them. Bugged Out is the bite-sized podcast where we shine a light on the art (and science) of functional verification. In just 10–15 minutes per episode, host Harry Foster, Chief Scientist, Verification, Siemens EDA, sits down with leading innovators, engineers, and researchers to talk about what’s shaping the future of verification — from AI-driven tools to design-for-test, coverage closure, reliability, and more. Expect candid conversations, practical insights, and a few “war stories” from the trenches of debug. Whether you’re a verification engineer, a design lead, or simply curious about how we “get the bugs out” of the chips that power our world, Bugged Out delivers focused, informative conversations designed to fit your busy schedule.
