Synopsys Launches AgentEngineer: A 5x Leap in EDA Productivity

At Converge 2026, Synopsys unveils AgentEngineer, a multi-agent system that automates SoC verification and design optimization.

At the Synopsys Converge 2026 conference, CEO Sassine Ghazi unveiled AgentEngineer, a revolutionary multi-agent workflow platform for electronic design automation (EDA). The tool uses a swarm of specialized LLMs to automate the complex verification tasks that typically consume 60% of a chip designer's time.

Solving the Verification Bottleneck

Initial benchmarks show that AgentEngineer delivers up to 5x productivity gains in SoC verification. By utilizing a "software-defined hardware-assisted verification" approach, Synopsys enables engineers to optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) in real-time, significantly accelerating the delivery of 2nm and 1.8nm chips.
