On the EDA technology side, Vtool has invented, developed, and deploys Cogita, a novel AI/ML-based verification debugging and data analysis platform. On the services side, Vtool’s expertise spans from specification to GDSII top-notch ASIC services, embedded software, and Analog and RF circuit design. The Israeli-headquartered company already runs leading design centers in Serbia, Poland, and Greece, and now also in India and the UK. The new division will be led by Paul Kaunds, P&C CEO, a semiconductors veteran with over 20 years of experience.
